Description

Sam Gopal - Escalator (UK, Stable `69 stereo original)
Cover: VG+ (flimsy textured gatefold has some creasing, light ringwear and general cover wear and light fraying to edges) Disc: VG- (not trashed but has a fair amount of scratches and scuffs, most are light but there a few deeper ones as well which cause some crackle and surface noise. Still an enjoyable copy, but does have some crackle on some songs.
As most of you know, only one song has trap drums, the rest are just tablas, bass, guitars and vocals, so the arrangements are on the quiet side, except when the heavy lead guitar comes in and tears your head off! This is very dark and heavy/doomy hard psych - but with a tabla player (Sam Gopal) throughout! Features the guitar and vocal talents of Lemmy Kilmister (credited here as Ian "Lemmy" Willis) later of Hawkwind and Motorhead. But you knew that too. ...........................................................................................................................................................................................

RARE RECORDS LISTED EVERY WEEK OR TWO: psych, prog, private press, folk, soul, reggae, metal, punk/wave, experimental, weirdness and more.

Please note that eBay's shipping calculator is frequently wrong. To avoid overpaying for postage DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE VIA EBAY (not that invoice that Ebay so thoughtfully sends out automatically, but the one from me, with a personal message from me and correct shipping costs for your location) Thanks!

International orders under $200 will be sent first class mail. ($14.50 for 1st LP, $4.00 for each additional LP)

International orders over $200 will be sent REGISTERED mail. There is an ADDITIONAL cost of $11.50 for this, so an LP that sells at $200 or more will have a shipping charge of $26.00 ($14.50 for first class mail and $11.50 for registration.) It is known to be a very secure shipping method, requiring signatures from postal employees at various stops along the way, as well as your signature upon receipt of the package.

I no longer require Express mail for any destination, but it is recommended for more expensive records.

See my Ebay "me" page for more detailed info on grading, etc. ..........

I do not end auctions early. Please do not ask.

**I pack all LPs outside of the covers, in their inner sleeves, both in a plastic outer bag, in order to prevent seam splits.**

***RETURNS accepted, all ITEMS guaranteed, but I do not refund ANY shipping costs (from me or back to me,) as postage money goes to the U.S. Postal Service, not to me!
