Long before GREASE and XANADU, the lovely and leggy Olivia Newton-John was part of THIS little-known song and dance production, TOOMORROW, which also starred Vic Cooper and Karl Chambers, who looks like he might've been Garrett Morris under a pseudonym.  This original soundtrack is excruciatingly rare nowadays, and it's yet to be reissued either which is kinda amazing.  But if you wanna hear a very young Olivia belting out some gorgeous sunshine popsike charmers like "Goin' Back" and "Walking On Air," this is the record to grab.  And ELO's nowhere to be found!  It's kinda odd that, on some of these tracks, Olivia actually takes a back seat, and you can't help wonder how much she could've spiced up the pretty pop of "If You Can't Be Hurt" had she been given more than backup duties.  But she turns the insanely catchy "You're My Baby" into a magical sunshine pop groover, and when she sings "Just give me the love I've been dreaming of and you open the door to Happiness Valley forever more," I just can't help but think of a dozen double entendres that I probably shouldn't relate here.  For those into more trippy tunes, don't miss the fuzzed-up "Spaceport" theme that comes completely out of nowhere, with its stuttering fuzz guitar runs and sweeping strings set to a groovy-as-heck 60's espionage theme.PHOTO AND SOUND CLIP COMING SOON, PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER!

The less exciting stuff

Media mail shipping with delivery confirmation starts at $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping.  I accept payments through Paypal. 

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. 

 For more security and international tracking, you may request GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL - but bear in mind the cost of this service is upwards of $30.  For expensive items, however, it may be well worth it.  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. 

HEAR IT!
