In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

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 +22,000 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!

The Hollies TURN ON ::::
Full blown psychedelia using heavy echo and reverb... The British "EVOLUTION" contains different song listings to the USA release ... 
The Beatles lit the world on fire with SGT Peppers and the Hollies answer back with "EVOLUTION" .... For many Hollies enthusiasts, Evolution (1967) is considered the band's most accessible blend of popsike and psychedelia. The quintet were headed into musical territories beyond simply "moon-June-bloom" and boy-meets-girl lyrics coupled with the tightly constructed vocal harmonies that had become their calling card. Nowhere is this more evident than in the tripped-out cover art by Dutch multimedia artists Seemon Kooer, Marijke Kooer, Josje Leeger, and Barry Finch -- known collectively as "Fool"
Although "Carrie-Anne" could be considered an extension of the diamonds within, there are clear indications of new horizons on cuts such as the Mod-ish "You Need Love," where one can find the band's energy at its fullest, and the cool distorted electric guitar on "Have You Ever Loved Somebody," plus the wailing fretwork on the driving freakbeat rocker "Then the Heartaches Begin." Graham Nash (guitar/vocals), Allan Clarke (guitar/vocals), Tony Hicks (guitar/dulcimer/vocals), Bobby Elliott (drums), and new recruit Bernie Calvert (bass/vocals) -- who replaced original member Eric Haydock in the spring of 1966 -- were also taking different approaches and 'turning on' in their writing and arranging, as heard on the trippy "Headed for a Fall." On this tune, you hear Eastern tinges and most prominent is the unusual six-eight time signature, coupled with Hicks' inversion of the unmistakable stringed effects, similar to the sound he conjured up on the hit "Stop, Stop, Stop." However, somewhat more atypical of the Nash-era band are the light and limber acoustic uptempo "Stop Right There," or the baroque "Ye Olde Toffee Shoppe." The quivery processed vocals of "Lullaby to Tim" should make you smile every time you hear the song. "Water on the Brain" has more of the typical whimsy, and "When Your Light Turned on" is once again as powerful as rock perfection could be in the '60s. There were earlier versions of "Have You Ever Loved Somebody" bringing some new color with the fuzz guitar. Evolution is clearly an album to enjoy. Often perfectly-crafted, feeling like a positive quality: this is wild, pulsating, and living stuff !
