To whom it may concern:

I'm NOT answering questions any more like "How much is shipping to Absurdistan" or wherever to, neither will I respond to inquiries like "Please separate the records from ...". All this stuff can be found on this site by anybody who can read, or at least is willing to do so.

A buyer from the USofA gave me a NEGATIVE Feedback because I have charged him more (+$ 3.50) than the $ 4.00 for shipping in the US. And WHY did he do it?

HE DID NOT READ

and he didn't ask before he placed his bid. I find this rather unfair.

So once and for all:

I'M NOT SHIPPING FROM THE 

USA

but from

GERMANY

Okay?

Bio / Comments : RANDY HOLDEN (born in Pennsylvania, July 2, 1945) is a guitarist best remembered for his involvement with the West Coast mother-of-all-metal-groups Blue Cheer on their great third album, "New! Improved! Blue Cheer" (1969).

He played in a local band, The Iridescents (Blues Rock) and after the family moved to the promised land Los Angeles, California, in The Fender IV (Surf Rock) and then the legendary Sons of Adam (Surf & Garage Rock). While playing in The Sons of Adam, Holden opened for The Rolling Stones at their first show at the Long Beach Sports Arena. Holden was heavily influenced by Keith Richards' guitar and amp set up which helped change his own attitude towards equipment and tone. The Sons of Adam (specifically Holden) began experimenting with distortion and feedback which pushed into Psychedelic Rock. Holden left the band frustrated with the lack of original material and formed the equally legendary Other Half with whom he recorded one outstanding album. In 1969 he joined San Francisco legends Blue Cheer for their third album "New! Improved!".

Frustrated with lack of control over the bands, Randy formed his next new band with drummer Chris Lockheed, founding member of one of the best 60's Psychedelic bands Kak from San Francisco (but THAT'S quite another story itself). Lockheed, also a keyboard player, uniquely played both drums and keyboard simultaneously in live performances. 

During this time Holden obtained a sponsorship deal with Sunn Amplifiers. Through this he received his legendary sixteen 200 Watt amplifiers. His new band was dubbed "Randy Holden - Population II", which was a reference to the fact there were only two members in the band as well as being an astronomical term "Population II" that defines a special kind of Star Group cluster type, having Heavy Metal in its composition. An appropriate description for the original style of the music attributed to Holden's new band. The band recorded its only album, "Population II " (1969). Trouble with the release of the album led to Holden going bankrupt, losing all his equipment and his departure from music for over two decades.

This copy is from the FIRST 1982 legal re-issue series of the very sought after album and the record is in an unplayed condition.
