We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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.

H.P. LOVECRAFT's SECOND ALBUM...
Their Second important LP :::
- Extremely Rare GOLD LABEL PROMOTIONAL ADVANCED '68 RELEASE
ORIGINAL 1968 first pressing vinyl in old style unipak gatefold with vibrant psychedelic designs... the sought after 2nd album by this psychedelic crew who moved to San Francisco from Chicago to play the legendary ballrooms with their psyched-out garage swirls amid backdrops of color-wheels & liquid light shows...
Following a move to from Chicago to California saw bassist Jerry McGeorge unceremoniously replaced by former Saturday's Child bassist John Boyan, the band found itself under intense pressure to record a follow-up to their first album. Largely written and recorded on the fly and in the studio and reportedly recorded while tripping on various illicit substances, compared to the first album songs such as 'High Flying Bird', 'Blue Jack of Diamonds' and 'Mobius Trip' found the band pursuing a decidedly experimental psychedelic attack. Extended tracks such as 'It's About Time' and 'At the Mountains of Madness' opted for dense, high end arrangements, complete with rambling percussion, sleepy, treated vocals, acidy guitar lines and spacey keyboard tones. While the results occasionally drifted (Electrallentando'') all in all it still made for an interesting listen. In spite of their trippy titles, atypically melodic and focused 'At the Mountains of Madness' and 'Spin, Spin, Spin' were among the highlights to capture the freshness of their debut. Elsewhere the Philips label tapped the album for a single in the form of 'Keeper of the Keys' b/w 'Blue Jack of Diamonds' (Philips catalog number 40578). Unfortunately, shortly after the album was released ace keyboardist David Michaels called it quits. Increasingly unhappy with the band and having experienced somewhat of a religious awakening, he returned to Chicago and resumed his college studies at Northwestern University. His departure came at a critical time for the band. Within weeks the Philips label had all but pulled the plug on support for the album the band essentially collapsing on itself. Still the album remains the best offering by the band filled with psychedelic garage moves in tuneful melodies that work in timeless fashion.
