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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. 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 become 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

CAST THE FIRST STONE
USA - (PRIVATE PRESS) Cheap Plastic Records
TOP COPY ... Completely MINT! includes scarce double sided inner sleeve
Rare and very hard to find 30+ years ago private pressing by Philadelphia progressive rock band "SYN" and their only album "Cast The First Stone".
The Syn album features a collectible basement lo-fi production with male/female lead vocals in garage-ish rock/progressive bag. Known for unique instrumentation and arrangements of their self compositions, they had some local success with this self-produced album. The band featured two guitarists (one is also the female singer) + keys/violin, flute, bass, winds, drums ...They were labeled as USA's answer to the UK 70's band Renaissance - though due to lack of exposure were unable to issue more than this one album and disappeared without a trace.
The similarities with Renaissance is obvious and their music style must have gone down well on stage. The lyrics are also very contemporary, dealing with love and nuclear holocaust. Very 1970s, in other words. Both the sound and the quality of the songs are good with sophisticated arrangements and variation in music style -- featuring nice keyboard, guitar and flute breaks. The songs predominantly feature the female vocalist. She sings in a forceful yet pleasant style that was to become more common 20 years later. Overall a non-challenging but nice listen.

Phillip Britton...bass,flute,vocals

Duane Loeper...keyboards,violin
