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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. Please keep in mind 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 became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI 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; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

BEAUTIFUL MINTY SUPER CLEAN ...
1971 ADVANCE RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL of one of the *best* PEARLS BEFORE SWINE albums...in way hard to find TOP MINTY CONDITION(see details below) ....
Includes the original printed Warner Brothers inner sleeve to the pressing
Pearls Before Swine's last LP for Warner/Reprise album released in 1971. Filled with rapturous Tom Rapp originals, plus a beautiful cover of Leonard Cohen's ''Bird On A Wire.'' There is a dark angel's purity in these songs and all of them are of a piece musically and philosophically linked with all of the others.
There are superb tracks here, highlighted by the plaintive Butterflies (beautiful), and the lovely Freedom.
"Beautiful Lies You Could Live With" has a more orthodox folk rock sound than earlier Pearls Before Swine records, with electric guitars and drums more prominent. It also contains several of Tom Rapp's most beautiful and evocative songs, such as "Snow Queen", together with "Island Lady." The album concludes with a brief setting of A.E. Housman's poem, "Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries", sung by Rapp's wife Elisabeth who collaborates throughout the album.
