NOTE: eBay has implemented its new FEEDBACK policy to which ANY customer for ANY reason or ANY excuse can give sellers (i.e. "us") negative feedback. Please understand, we have served thousands of "satisfied" customers and processed thousands of orders - far more than our feedback records indicate - It is our intention to give EACH and EVERY buyer our best possible service and we are known to ALWAYS deliver your purchased item. ALL items paid for are processsed 'outbound' to each and EVERY customer, satisfaction guaranteed. Keep in mind we have serviced THOUSANDS of satisfied customers and our aim is to continue to do so.
We make every effort to mail all orders out Friday of each week. Keep in mind 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 at most. We also strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable.
TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS: We often get requests to hold orders to save on shipping. We are happy to do that. Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and IF YOU REQUEST we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel. To receive continual shipping discounts, we will hold your orders as long as you want, but it is necessary to pay each invoice you receive to stay current. Most importantly, we appreciate your business.
1968 first pressing
SAN FRANCISCO HIPPIES
Earth Psych with TRACY NELSON
MOTHER EARTH
USA - Mercury Records - SR 61194
TOP CLEAN...ORIGINAL 1968 first pressing vinyl in old uni-pack style gatefold cover... one of thee best MOTHER EARTH albums, if not the best...the San Francisco hippie band featured the tremendous talents of TRACY NELSON... Like most SF bands of the era, the "chick singer," no matter how stellar, was not the sole focus of the group. In fact, the spotlight opening and closing tracks of Living With The Animals were not Tracy Nelson tunes, but were penned by Texas born hippie balladeer, RP St. John (who also palled around with Joplin and wrote "Bye Bye Baby" for her and Big Brother). The trade off worked well, since the two singers' diverse styles--while night and day in so many ways--complemented each other beautifully. Tracy's blues and gospel flavored numbers were what justified the band's appropriation of the Memphis Slim classic number (included here as track 2) at their band name, but St. John's quirky, ironic, and just a tad off-the-wall numbers were what rooted them firmly in 1968--and 1968 San Francisco at that !
