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 +21,000 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.

SELDOM SEEN 1967 ORIGINAL mono PRESS small limited release on the private limited UPI label only sold locally in California....
Back in the eighties when collectors around the globe started catching the BUZZ on psychedelic & garage sixties relics, the 1967 FAPARDOKLY LP was one of the "have to have" rarities ... - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Things haven't changed much in the status level when anyone interested in the genre would be hard pressed to find a better example of high crafted melodies soaked in the 'now' sounds of the hip underground rock sixties.
Though FAPARDOKLY were considered an enigma in the world of '60s psych-rock collectibles, FAPARDOKLY were a southern California group spear-headed by legendary cult hipster Merrell Fankhauser. They cut several singles for the tiny "Glenn" label heading off in a psychedelic direction and then mutating into the famed H.M.S. Bounty recording yet another brilliant album. -
- The FAPARDOKLY album issued in tiny quantity on the UIP label was a gathering of a few garage rock gems and psychedelic oriented tracks that Merrill and "FAPARDOKLY" recorded.
-
Although FAPARDOKLY was not intended as a unified work, it stands as one of the great lost psychedelic-rock classic LP's of the '60s climbing by each year in $$$ value. - As noted, Merrill Fankhauser went on to make more excellent obscure recordings with H.M.S. Bounty in the late '60s and the outstanding Mu in 1971
- FAPARDOKLY opens up with "Lila," an excellent, shimmering happening-nugget recalling the best aspects of the Byrds’ "Fifth Dimension" LP.
- The next track, the "Music Scene," has clear west coast-psych sounds of the best kind, lyrically explaining Fankhauser’s frustrations with the music industry.
- "Super Market" is yet another high note with its beautiful 12 string acoustic guitar runs and psychedelic lyrics.
- Arguably the best tracks are "Gone To Pot" and the highly infectious "Mr. Clock" both were successful forays into 1966 psychedelia. The former track begs strong comparisons to the Byrds’ Eight Miles High and overall is an incredible forge into 'raga-rock.'
- The FAPARDOKLY album is a true gem of mid 60s folk, rock and psychedelic fixings, and major labels totally blew it when they missed the obvious opportunity to properly market this bands incredible engaging sound...
