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.

- USA - (Rainbow) CAPITOL Records - ST-2986
- RARE and sought ORIGINAL 1968 first pressing of the mighty 1st
On many want lists, this 1968 original ...one of the greatest (and rarest on major label) San Francisco hippie-era psychedelic classics...on the rainbow Capitol label !
By the end of 1967 MAD RIVER had played a number of Fillmore and Avalon gigs and were signed to Capitol along with The Quicksilver Messenger Service and The Steve Miller Band. Their FIRST album was issued in 1968. Extremely non-commercial, and very psychedelic, it was particularly noteworthy for Lawrence Hammond's distinctive quavering vocals and superb interweaving acid guitar work (particularly on The War Goes On and Eastern Light. It has later transpired that during its making the recording and playback speeds were not the same - so everything came out higher and faster than they had played it! Overall Mad River's first album features the dark side of the psychedelic experience, sounding like a soundtrack to a bad trip with its bleak, enigmatic lyrics, swirling, somewhat dissonant arrangements, and relentlessly minor melodies. The longer tracks feature rise and fall build ups with crashing acid guitar exchanges -- plus the hell-bent jerking tempos of "Merciful Monks" and "Amphetamine Gazelle," as well as the chilling closing lullaby "Hush Julian, " all still pack a punch !
Merciful Monks (Lawrence Hammond) (3:39)
High All the Time (Lawrence Hammond) (4:07)
Amphetamine Gazelle (Lawrence Hammond) (2:56)
Eastern Light(Lawrence (Hammond, Greg Dewey) (7:58)
Wind Chimes (Mad River) (7:15)
The War Goes On (Lawrence Hammond) (12:25)
Hush, Julian (Lawrence Hammond) (1:11)
