Description

Mad River: same (7" EP) 1967, USA/Wee 10021. Disc appears to be unplayed with no spindle marks on the labels, but the pressing is not optimal and there's some light surface noise so I'll grade it EX. Picture sleeve shows just a bit of soiling/starting wear, no splits, upgrading this beauty will likely prove impossible. It gets an EX to M- grade. Beautiful example of this holy grail Bay Area gem from the psych era, Mad River's first release pre-Capitol on the tiny Berkeley private label! Their sound here is more Eastern than on their LPs, including some chanting on the side-long "Windchimes". There's an amazing embryonic version of the prog monster from their first LP "Amphetamine Gazelle" plus an otherwise unavailable Lawrence Hammond track, "Orange Fire". All three recordings are exclusive to this EP. Not a counterfeit, this is a mega-rare original private issue!

I ship all records in strong cardboard mailers with cardboard flats added to increase stability. The discs are always removed from the covers to prevent seam splits, and all records are dressed in plastic sleeves for travel.

Use activegod at earthlink dot net Attention everyone: ebay has recently decided to send automatic "payment reminders" to my customers. Like most people, I'm uncomfortable with the idea that someone is getting an email from me that I didn't write. Naturally, I took steps to disable this feature, and I got nowhere. Please be aware that these emails are not coming from me, but from a computer in a dark room somewhere at Ebay Towers.
