Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. 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. 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!

RARE!! 1969 first pressing ~ the glorious legendary SAN FRANCISCO Hippie outfit....
THE CHARLATANS
Always been hard to find and nowadays plain "RARE" going for three figures $$$ in collector circles in clean "used" condition ... here, way better than that as a FACTORY SEALED first press, make no mistake on that fact! The CHARLATANS essentially opened the gates to the psychedelic laced "San Francisco Sound" hippie scene in the '60s.
THE CHARLATANS performed their first show at the Red Dog Saloon in Virginia City, Nevada on June, 21 1965. It proved to be a psychedelic event with the band fueled by Augustus Owlsley Stanley III's first batch of LSD. A poster was designed by Charlatan members George Hunter and Michael Ferguson to advertise the Red Dog events. It became known as The Seed and is widely accepted as being the first poster of the psychedelic era.
The founders of San Francisco acid-rock, the first band to break away from the conventions of the Merseybeat, and to ingest massive doses of LSD, were the Charlatans. The group was built around two folksingers, singer and drummer Dan Hicks and guitar player Mike Wilhelm, and one underground light show experimenter, George Hunter.
In the summer of 1965 in Virginia City, Nevada, the Charlatans and a small following of hippies took over the Red Dog Saloon and held concerts six days a week. The premises, where Hunter created the first light shows, and psychedelic guru Ken Kesey had become a fixture, were soon filled by young people from the neighboring towns. When the police chased them out of Virginia City, the hippie gathering moved to San Francisco. What happened afterwards in San Francisco was nothing but the continuation of what the Charlatans and their friends had started in Nevada.
The CHARLATANS only album was finally released in 1969 and may be a bit disappointing if you compare it with their earlier works but it's far from a "mediocre affair" as described in "Fuzz, Acid & Flowers". To be fair the highlights are aplenty...Highlights include their great take on the old Van Dyke Parks tune "High Coin" and "Time To Get Straight" is a fine folk rocker in grand Charlatans style. Also notable is the last song "When The Movies Are Over", which is a weird and trippy number, the forever great "Alabama Bound" a holdover from their peak trips of 1966.
