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 +21,000 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.

  1. Seldom Seen ~~

  2. Original 1968 TOP COPY
  3. Most of the material presented on this record pays apparent homage to the crude and cross brew of snotty fuzzed-out blues based raw rock of The Lollipop Shoppe Van Morrison's Them, the (early) Rolling Stones and the Pretty Things.
    Anchored by filthy vocals growling, snarling with bile, Lead-off track “Six Feet Down” moves at a slow and haunting pace, while “Speed” crackles and crunches with clattering guitars and edgy harmonies. Blending eerie tones with gritty rock rhythms, “Painted Woman” and “A Garden Where Nothing Grows” hang fast as other notable songs on “Creation,” along with numbing take on “It’s All over Now Baby Blue” and Screaming Jay Hawkins’ “I Put A Spell On You.” 
  4. As attested by these tracks, the Druids of Stonehenge were masters of melancholy. Motivated by doom and gloom, the band produced a stupefying spooky sound.
  5.  Imagine the Chocolate Watchband jamming with the Lollipop Shoppe, and that should give you some idea what zone the Druids of Stonehenge operated in.

    The New York-based     Druids of Stonehenge―front-man Dave Budge, guitarists Carl Hauser and Bill Tracy, bassist Tom Workman and drummer Steve Tindall―exemplified both the surly essence of teen garage-punk and the experimental spirit of psychedelia.
  6.  The CREATION OF STONEHENGE formed in 1965 as a scrappy, R&B-influenced teen combo in the early Rolling Stones/Pretty Things mold. By 1968, the Druids had fused psychedelia to their wild garage roots, relocated to the West Coast and signed with the UNI label. 
  7. The Druids of Stonehenge unveiled their retooled sound with this LP "Creation," which revealed the quintet to be one of the toughest, most imaginative outfits of its era, maintaining both a forceful, earthy edge and an ethereal air of mystery. Those qualities were manifested in Budge’s snarling, Jaggeresque vocals and the band’s tense, punchy playing, which elevated such memorable originals as “Six Feet Down,” “Earthless” "A Garden Where Nothing Grows" and “Pale Dream,” as well as their distinctive reworkings of "Baby Blue,” and Arthur Lee & Love’s “Signed D.C.” ....Throughout the decades, the band and the album have gained immensely in stature and prestige among garage-psych aficionados and ’60s devotees, with original copies of Creation becoming sought-after collectibles.

  19. The cover: rated: "EX" (excellent) final collectible strong, just slight previous (careful) use, imagine would be near impossible to find better with such a prone-to-wear cover in mind after all these years. Overall impressive thick single cover packs an appearance wallop in all ways. There is a small delete drill at top right (not very pronounced) , no split seams, and no bends, or writing and solid as a final collection and investment 1968 item, remaining a true relic from the tough-edged 60's scene.

  1. The vinyl: Rated: near M- very clean (TOP LEVEL) use over 56 years and counting, top shape not to expect better with M- beautiful audio and yep, it's a winner for the lucky right cat. Both UNI labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
