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.   All Canadian and Overseas shipping ~ Please inquire about rates.

Be certain that your Customs forms are processed by us and your package will be postmarked and mailed at our local Post Office.      Discount shipping on multiple LPs in same order.      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    IMPOSSIBLE-RARE !
  • 50 years ago

  • The PERSONAL COPY OF FROLKHAVEN leader &
  • Creator  "Charles Hugo Novak Ortman II"

  • Cover graphics of this small local Berkeley California pressing
  • was released in black & white with total blank back cover.

  • HOWEVER, FROLKHAVEN leader "Charles Hugo Novak Ortman II" a cosmic survivor of the San Francisco ACID 60's ... self-designed his own FROLKHAVEN personal copy, coloring in by his own hand the front cover, as well by his own hand created a back cover - in ink with elaborate notations of all his
  • spaced-out lyrics, players & instrumentation, etc.
  • ................................................................................

  • FROLKHAVEN "AT THE APEX OF HIGH" was a trio consisting of the tripped-out leader "Charles" & drummer Stuart Copeland - pre fame member of "THE POLICE" then but a Berkeley collage student and fellow bassist "Bailey"  ... 

  • Charles also known as "The Zilch" who dropped ("amazing" orange barrel LSD) and wrote, directed the entire score ... playing guitar 
  • ("feedback" guitar too,)  clarinet, electronic background effects, and vocals ...
  • His rambling detailed in notes written on back cover describe more than ANYONE EVER KNEW about this flipped-out private press and the cosmic mind at play behind the creation!
  • Guess they were listening to a fair bit of Syd Barrett and Soft Machine, especially when the latter phrase is even uttered at one point during the informal proceedings. 
    No commercial potential belies the beauty. A rather enjoyable and singular slice of the early 70s Freak-zone, growing on the special "third-ear" listener. ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    Throw dollars by the hundreds for your BEATLES "Butcher" covers,  "Banana Skin" Velvets, and everything else in between yet , the personal hand crafted unicorn (one of a created kind) "FROLKHAVEN" LP is a by millions of cosmic miles more "here today/gone tomorrow" scarce ,  than anyone may think!
