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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

- Clearly in the upper levels of Mexican psych (English vocals)
SOLID "killer rated" Mexican Underground Prog Psych ~~ TONS OF GUSHING ORGAN and raw fuzz guitar battling in moody-doomy atmospheres
EL RITUAL was short-lived but important early 70s Mexican hard rock band with strong ties to The Dug Dug's. - Nearly all of the members of El Ritual were also members of The Dug Dug's at one time or another.
- El Ritual released its one and only album on the legendary Raff label in 1971 and is widely recognized as one of the top underground heavy-psych LP's from south of the border containing similar energies of early Deep Purple, Black Sabbath & Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, deliciously twisted with dark ominous themes augmented into their own stylish imprint
El Ritual centers on hard rock foundation - with extended passages without plodding 3-chord rockers, as their heaviness is mixed by varied styles complemented their strong psychedelic dose mixing creative complex blends of Latin & jazz moves adding to their accessible dynamic sound -- having a great sense melodics in their compositions.
