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!

RARE & SOUGHT AFTER:

ORIGINAL 1970 first press vinyl in thick gatefold cover ...Collectible psychedelic melodic garage thriller that is rising daily in value due to collectors over the universe hunting for a spare copy... well, here's a nice one ....

original die-cut printed inner sleeve included

Produced by Bob Thiele (Ford Theatre, Eden's Children etc.), and Eddie Kramer Jay Senter, their album is a melodic soft & hard mix of trippy rock structures with excellent fuzz guitar solos. All self penned tunes that work well...The band were based in Greenwich Village, having relocated from Washington DC when they were known as The Button, (which was the final incarnation of The Hangmen). Interesting use of small interludes between the song tracks...

This is a very good major label psych album that’s hard to define. It has a few semi-heavy moments, some fuzz guitar, soulful vibe, lots of effects, and occasionally crazed singing. The songwriting and playing are solid all around, and the album opens and closes with very strong songs. Worthy of close listens—there’s a lot going on inside this one. Interesting and somewhat unknown late 1960s psych/art-rock transition piece, one of several respectable ABC albums from the era. Each song is jam packed with ideas and sounds, a sizable amount of $$$ must have gone into this. The overall style is reminiscent of the more highbrow Bosstown trips (like Freeborne) with a bit of UK Moody Blues/Procol Harum/"Abbey Road" classical and complex ambitions. The second track has all the pieces fall into place including lyrical fuzz leads, while the band elsewhere often fall victim to an inability to get their ideas sorted. This is an album where each of the elements is appealing by itself and worth checking out ...like label-mates Ill Wind and Bold.
