In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. Please 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. 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 became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI 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!

MINTY CLEAN... 1968 collectible...STILL IN (partial) FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER

"WEE TAM" succeeds better in the adventorous approach than the previous "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter", where key elements were pioneered.

First song "Job's Tears" contains some quite repetitive sequences and the rhythm alters freely, sounding coherent to these ears, and even the children-song styled end part is quite nice. After this one, the music start to get even better, "Puppies" has curiously wispering instruments summoning a really pretty psychedelic folk hymn, which has also a playful sequence written to it. A really fine song, shimmering sacred beautifulness and ability to love. "Beyond the See" is shorter nice impressionistic vision with haprsichord, flute, bass and keyboards. Hazily progressing fine "The Yellow Snake" is euphoric folk song dominated by singers and a sitar. "Log Cabin Home in the Sky" is then driven by acoustic guitar, violins, accordion and singing, relying to Irish-sounding strong melody. "You Get Brighter" is calm folk song with clear structure and beautiful harmonies. Next "The Half- Remarkable Question" is a really remarkable song. Good complentative lyrics enrich the classical hippie sounds built by sitar and acoustic guitar within a clear and meldocially beatiful compasition. "Air" is organ and voice driven gospel hymn, leading to "Ducks on a Pond", the longest track here. It flows quite spontaneousy, mostly calmly and very care-free, though having some serious elements in it too.

1968's "WEE TAM" presents the fine qualities of this group in quite fine manner! The experimentation seems to be present in creating a "far-out" record, and natural parts of the songs, which are pleasant to listen and thought provoking. If you are open for raw, sincere, spiritual and mystic folk music,grab this one!
