PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

1968 FACTORY SEALED "Lost Treasure"

THE FEDERAL DUCK

USA - MUSICOR - MS 3162
Copies of this "lost gem" do not seem to be around in any condition. Very seldom would be the chance to get a NEVER OPENED, STILL FACTORY SEALED 50 year old first issue of this prized LP. Indeed, here's that chance...

STILL FACTORY SEALED, 1968 original pressing:::
.....................................................................................................
Although the rare and sought after FEDERAL DUCK album was buried or ignored upon its release in 1968, it has since received high recognition by serious '60s rock collectors who consider the album a "lost treasure."
Hard to find in any condition, here is a NEVER PLAYED '68 pressing on the obscure "Musicore" label, the same label that released the equally impressive and similar "Paper Garden" LP, (and not to forget the "Rebecca And The Sunnybook Farmers" LP.)
Federal Duck tracks notably contain strong atmospherics in the dreamy hippie psych-rock bag at it's very best. Decidedly worth it's weight just for the "killer" track "Tomorrow Waits For Today."
Along both sides you will find some real "psych nuggets" in the brilliant forgotten psychedelic rock vein. Several of the highly infectious tunes are often considered "masterpieces." Even though like most albums in the '60's, there are a couple "fillers", the overall feeling is very positive because the majority of original tracks on this LP are indeed very impressive. The highlights include "Easy Virtue Blues", "Tomorrow Waits for Today" "While You're Away", "Peace in My Mind" and "Friday Morning" -- those being the obvious fantastic tracks. The jazz-rock oriented "Bird" is the longest song of the album and it's a nice one as well. On the whole the album falls into similar styles of the 1st "SPIRIT" Lp meeting "The Freebourne" (who issued the $$$ valued "Peak Impressions" Lp) - both in the same year as the Federal Duck album.
This has to be noted as an excellent overlooked psych LP, and one that is highly recommended for fans into '68 era rarities containing garage & psych crafted self-compositions flavored with strong memorable melodies.
