I AM OFFERING ANOTHER HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PROG / PSYCH ROCK VINYL LP RARITY FROM MY COLLECTION OF SIMILIAR ITEMS !! THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST PSYCH ALBUM EVER MADE IN HOLLAND, IT WILL DEFINITELY BE IN THE TOP TEN BEST PSYCH ALBUMS EVER CONCEIVED!!!!!!THIS WAS ONLY EVER ISSUED IN HOLLAND.

In subsequent years related albums have appeared by S.I.X.(Sjardin's Invisible X-factor), Sjardin's Terrible Surprise and Orange Upstairs. The discography below is not complete.

"Optimistic (or is it sarcastic?) title aside, Paradise Now is a decidedly sinister and unnerving album, a trip on the verge of going bad.  The euphoria and explorative playfulness of Agemo's... has been replaced by the realization that the world as it exists is Really Messed Up.  But even though the Summer of Love is appearing in hindsight to be increasingly naïve, the band is not willing to forget (or dismiss) the acid-fueled Truths that they so recently saw.  Because the world really could be a better place, it really could be "paradise," if only people would listen... or if only we tried.  Would we then be able to achieve paradise, now?" (from: rateyourmusic.com)

"Great late sixties psychedelic trippy acid rock. The solid fuzz guitar is everywhere and the organ is spectacular. It never lets up and there is not a mediocre track on this disc. Sounds great with a mental adjustment and headphones, but be careful, you could loose track of space and time. One of the best if not the best psychedelic platters ever produced." (from: progarchives.com)

Vinyl: EX.  A beautiful looked after vinyl with hardly any hairlines/marks. This is a quality pressing of this now insanely rare album issued by the Dutch Vroom & Dreesmann department store. The Discofoon label only issued a couple of albums and basically flopped as a label. The music is up there with the most far out sounds on the planet akin to earliest Pink Floyd for example but also early Kraut comparisons can be made. A must for any psych/prog crossover collector. Fantastic deep quality audio with only 2 small pops on side 1. An absolute quality pressing of this insanely rare artefact.

Sleeve: VG+. Front laminated with flipbacks. Slight waviness, mainly to the rear. Beautiful rich colours. The spine is solid and the opening extremely crisp. Top edge has the starting of a seam split but not yet worn through. All in all a very nice sleeve of this impossibly rare album. 

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
