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.

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.

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!

MINT IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAP WITH CUSTOM BECK STICKER!

PLAYS AND LOOKS VERY CLEAN!
100% original 1968 first print ~ The mighty Jeff Neck Group were firing on all cylinders by '69 and turned in an innovative creative force. The legendary Yardbirds guitarist out to prove himself lays it all out in whammy bar frenzy while the backing group consisting of future superstars Ron Wood & Rod Stewart deliver a memorable performance throughout both sides and every track!
...The second great album by the legendary JEFF BECK teamed up with a powerful backing band with the powerhouse drumming of Tony Newman who was a force with the mighty MAY BLITZ only a year later....
With the teaming up of Jeff Beck on lead guitar, Rod Stewart on vocals, Ronnie Wood on bass and Tony Newman on drums to form the first Jeff Beck Group, the world witnessed the birth of a new genre in music: a heavy British rock spectacular. With Beck's blistering blues riffs and Stewarts gravelly hobo voice, this is where the SuperGroups first started. This is a must for any serious rock music fan. Admittedly, the sound lacks the dynamism and performance of, say Led Zeppelin, but easily makes up for this in the musicianship, vocals and, not least, the songs. The first album to be released, Truth, features some classic blues rock songs such as I ain't Superstitious and Rock My Plimsoul, whilst at the same time effortlessly slipping into the more soulful Greensleeves and Ol' Man River. Sound dymanics and contrast are an important and oft overlooked ingredient in the best of heavy rock. The arrangements, here, however, are full of light and dark corners and shade. BECK-OLA is a classic album which redefined rock music in the mid/late sixties. Beckola, on the other hand, goes one step further and offers something genuinely innovative and as such can be viewed as a landmark album from 1969. Nicky Hopkins joined the group on keyboards and Rod Stewart was at his zenith as a blues singer and Jeff Beck was rapidly developing into a serious heavy blues guitarist. Whatever music Beck had made before was only leading up to this breathtaking album. The accent, as the sleeve notes explain, is on heavy music. And it doesn't come any heavier than this. Plynth, Hangman's Knee and Rice Pudding are all intelligently arranged songs, avoiding the crash bang wallop school of heavy rock, preferring instead an air of control and suspense. Historically important as this album is, it is still as exciting and fresh as the day it was released.
