WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS…
THE RAVELLES "Psychedelic Movement" b/w "She's Forever On My Mind"
Original 1969 pr0m0 45 on the MOBIE label
Vinyl: Looks quite rough, lotsa scuffs and marks, plays GOOD but plays thru fine (no skips)(check clip)
...and speaking of the Lexington Project, here's the band they became in 1968, the Ravelles, and their highly-regarded mind-blowing classic "Psychedelic Movement." This one's of much purer lysergia than the former band's Byrds fixated pop psych (which was still mighty fine), opening up with a statement of purpose of big blasting distorto fuzz guitar shards, then settling into a heavy guitar riff rocker like some Brachiosaur on acid. So it comes as a bit of a surprise then, when a girl starts singing, and in that odd warbly folkie Joan Baez hangin' out with Buffy Saint Marie kinda way. Not what we were expecting, that's fer sure, but maybe that's only to blow yer mind even more. Melanie fronting Steppenwolf? Man, where'd you get that stuff? A guy sings on the flip, the far tamer bouncy bubblepop "She's Forever On My Mind," but minds already having been blown, it's an anticlimax for the ages. The Lexington Project single, by the way, is also up for bid right now. Collect 'em all!
sound clip coming soon!
The less exciting stuff
First class shipping is $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping. Delivery confirmation included in the shipping costs.

Proof of shipment REQUIRED for all foreign orders, an extra $1.10.
I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it. Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves. But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING
Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package. I hate that too. So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s. And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums). I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job. But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts.
And finally, I include delivery confirmation on all shipments inside the US. This is my proof of shipment, and also helps us to track your package if it doesn’t arrive when it should. I will email you within 2 days of shipment and give you the confirmation number at that time. Insurance is always optional, but for larger orders, it’s highly recommended. Unfortunately, there isn’t a cost-effective way of tracking parcels to foreign countries yet, and shipping times vary depending on your country’s postal system. Italy in particular seems to be really bad at delivering packages quickly, or delivering packages at all, now that you mention it. I will always email you when your package ships, but once it’s on its way, please don’t ask me when it will arrive because I don’t know. If the world’s postal systems can ever agree on a universal tracking system that’s affordable, I’ll be the first to use it.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…
I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return. All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction. Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong. You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed. If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
