We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

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.

RARE MONO SONG MIXES!!!

Advanced release PROMOTIONAL COPY

PLAYS WITH MINT / CLEAN AUDIO

Original 1967 first pressing vinyl collectible, a highly entertaining one at that -- one that grows with each play, every track is memorable...

Yes...A fascinating album. After realizing that Brian simply could not complete the Smile project, the Beach Boys set up a studio in Brian's mansion, re-recorded several Smile tracks, ditched others in favor of slight, hastily written replacements ("Little Pad"), and shaped it all together for this 1967 release. The included version of the multi-part lead-off single ("Heroes And Villains") is a different version to others (versions) that Brian had worked out, and its brilliance does shine through. And other complex compositions are rendered slightly stoned, slightly beautiful: the upbeat, but loony "Vegetables," with Paul McCartney on, well, vegetables; and the gorgeous creepy melody introspectives of "Wonderful" and "Wind Chimes." The recordings are quite satisfying creations, and putting such a spotlight on the vocals gives these tracks a uniquely meditative sound. And the album does include Brian's greatest individual work - the unsurpassed A-side "Good Vibrations," left over from the fall of 1966. Carefully constructed from a series of unrelated segments, full of inventive gimmicks like its wailing electro-theremin line, and graced with outstanding vocals, it practically justifies the record's price all on its own. A strange varied mix of a (slightly stoned?) record, but Brian's songwriting was so otherworldly at this point that it's still one of the group's best efforts. Ever.
