Description

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us.  Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.  We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +22,000 positive feedback.   We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

  • the 'FAN-MAN' adds:
  • Thee heavy rock band Asoka, from Malmö, Sweden, consisted of Claes Ericsson (organ) and Patrik Erixson (vocals, drums) (from the band A Taste of Blues), the Bengtson brothers Tjobbe (bass) and Daffy (drums) and guitarist Robban Larson. 

  • In 1971, they signed a record deal with Sonet Records and recorded this self-titled album, produced by Bo Winberg of The Spotnicks. With their powerful and driving rock with excellent guitar and an energetic rhythm section, they were marketed as the powerful force for Swedish hard rock alongside November and Made In Sweden. 

  • ASOKA also incorporated progressive elements & sometimes psychedelic passages with lots of organ, heavy guitar riffs/leads, double drums, fuzz-bass, outstanding flair and a wailing vocalist.
