“While Opal's Happy Nightmare Baby is more representative of the group's richly textured brand of neo-psychedelia, the stripped-down Early Recordings compilation is an even better example of David Roback and Kendra Smith's remarkable songcraft. Released in the wake of the group's breakup, the album collects the majority of tracks from the Fell From the Sun and Northern Line EPs, along with a handful of outtakes and unreleased cuts, all spotlighting Opal's more subdued, acoustic-folk side. Peeling away the mystical haze which enshrouded Happy Nightmare Baby, the songs are plaintive and stark, exposing the emotional complexity at the band's core -- the wistful "Empty Box Blues" and the haunting "Harriet Brown," both previously unissued, are unmatched in their beauty and grace.”

SHIPPING DETAILS
  • We would like to offer insurance, but eBay has instituted a new policy disallowing sellers from adding an insurance option.
  • We'll combine shipping costs on multiple wins (or store purchases) to save money for the buyer.
  • We are professionals and pack with extreme care: you can trust us. However, we know some customers may have specific requirements for how their items are to be packed. Please confirm any such packing requests with us before bidding to be sure we can accomodate you.
PAYMENT DETAILS
  • Massachusetts residents must pay sales tax because we are a Massachusetts business.
  • We accept PayPal and credit cards by phone (Visa, Mastercard and Discover only).
  • We're sorry, but we cannot accept personal checks as payment.
  • Winners, please contact us within four days. If we do not receive payment from you within three weeks, we reserve the right to cancel the transaction and report you as a non-paying bidder.
SHIPPING TO ITALY
  • Due to the mail theft epidemic in the Italian post office system, we no longer normally ship to addresses in Italy. Exceptions can be made for buyers willing to pay for Priority Mail, which is safer but much more expensive than First Class. Priority Mail can also be tracked. Please contact us if you are interested and we will provide a shipping quote.

Looking for more? In addition to our weekly auctions, we maintain a fixed-price inventory in our eBay store, not to mention on another big online retail site, both under the name zzy49. In addition we have a completely seperate inventory in our actual store; you are welcome to call us if you're looking for something. Our own website is Planet-Records.com (no external links allowed on eBay -- you'll have to cut and paste that). We are happy to combine shipping to save you money!
