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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

Super-Rare
1973 Rock Underground Artifact
Hard rock dominated, influenced by laid-back drug enhancements.
Psychedelic rock rooted in the time period. Essential to serious collectors, this 1973 promotional seriously seldom ever turns up ...

Filled with great original song structures and a psych-vibe throughout that never gets old, the guitar playing is excellent, as is the flute interludes peppering many of the songs. "Blind Man" and "Drunk Again" are excellent as is the longer jam "The Last Dance."
All told,yep, essential "grower" investment underground

CONDITION:
The cover: rated: VG+(+) find better??
This wear-prone thick GATEFOLD first print has only very light wear (look!) would be light on spine- hope for better(?) then good luck to you!
After 50 years as a improbable buried treasure most likely no better first print ... Has two hard to see tiny delete drills (tiny) ... otherwise full colors, no bends, and no writing ... overall a considerable big deal

The vinyl: Rated: near "EX" (excellent) the deep groove pressing is about the best one can hope to find, plays fantastic all things considered
both (PROMO sticker) 1973 POLYDOR labels are clean

A cool addition to anyone's music library!
SEE: SELLERS OTHER ITEMS (((similar grooves for "head" people...)))
