Description

  • AUCTION AND SHIPPING IS FROM SWEDEN ,NO UK!
  • SHIPPING TO UK 15 POUNDS ONE RECORD. 2 OR MORE RECORDS IS 19 POUNDS


  • IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE BIDDING:

If you are hysterical because of a scratch on the record or something else about record please don't bid here. It is included in grading. It's not like you "thought anything else" other than what is graded by us. 

We grade discs in detail and are one step ahead with the grading so that you can be satisfied.

There is no "misleading information here".

We are professionals and have stored and graded records over many, many years.

Our grading "mint" is mint and that means we don't want to see anything on the record and it should be like a new record. That's why we rarely use "mint grading".

I have seen many times that people use ex or near mint if the record is vg+. We have to maintain high standards so that music lovers are super satisfied.

Feedback:

There are two kinds of feedbacks on Ebay: One is visible: Positive, neutral and negative.

The second one is hidden and it is invisible to seller and is something like: How was the transaction and are you satisfied?

Both are very important to us because they affect us directly even if you write super positive main visible feedback and other feedback in the background is neutral or negative. It means "Game over" for us. Ebay have new policies all the time. We will be sanctioned by Ebay and we will not be able to sell again for many months to come.

It has happened to us because of a buyer who could not speak English and he thought something else. 

Please it's not fun and not honest. Remember, we want you to be satisfied above all else.

Better not to write anything at all than to write "so there" on visible or for us invisible feedback.

BUYERS COMPLAIN ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS AND WE UNDERSTAND IT.

WE USE SWEDISH POST SERVICE RECOMMENDED EXTRA SAFE DELIVERY.

WE SHARE THE COST AND LOWER THE PRICE TO 15 POUNDS ONE RECORD AND 19 POUNDS 2 OR MORE RECORDS WORLDWIDE.

IT IS PARTLY AT OUR OWN EXPENSE. WE ARE STATIONED IN SWEDEN AND USING UK EBAY FOR AUCTIONS. Be patient, it may take a few extra days for delivery. Tracking is available.

Thank you very much and keep on rockin

REVIEW BY ANYWHERESTORE:


The last album by "Band" The Awakening, the only one produced by ! A masterpiece in which all 7 songs that dance freely and have completely different faces are miraculously organized!

The only band released by , which has released many musicians, The Awakening. The band, which label producer Gene Russell fell in love with, is Chicago's leading spiritual jazz band formed by Young-Holt Unlimited's Ken Chaney and Chicago's AACM member Frank Gordon. This album "Mirage" is their 2nd album released in 1973 and has become the last album, and it is a work that squeezed the groove called "The Awakening" to the last drop. It's finished. A comfortable and skillful electric piano, an alternative bass, and a powerful saxophone ring at the beginning "Mode For DD" to get a start dash, and the second song "The Ultimate Frontier", which lasts about 10 minutes, has a screaming chorus and mystery. It controls the ears and brain so that a unique view of the world with a poisonous groove works together and is blown to another world. In addition, all seven songs with completely different faces, such as the Spanish-style title song "Mirage" and the funky and funky last song "March On", all dance freely and perform free acting. It's a great album.


IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded! We  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight.


WE WILL ALWAYS PREFER TO GRADE OUR RECORDS FAIRLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.
