Description

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 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING:   USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.   All Canadian and Overseas shipping ~ Please inquire about rates.

  • Perfect TOP COPY in Factory Shrink Wrap!

  • ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..



  • THE ALAN FRANKLIN EXPLOSION
BLUES CLIMAX
  • ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
  • USA - (HORNE) BEE JAY (Local Florida) - J.C. 888-L (stereo)

  1. Rare and HIGHLY DESIRED (or should be) Garage-Rock and BLOW-OUT Jammer from 1970 ... poor label distribution kept this powerful guitar trio from a wider recognition

  2. RARE VERY RARE hard to find 1970 ORIGINAL PRIVATE PRESS LP as indicated in the ACID ARCHIVES bible ....featuring the "original" analog frequencies...blowing away the thin sounding reissue....

    A somewhat legendary Florida underground garagey hard-rock blowout featuring young guitarist Alan Franklin with a small backing band on what sounds like an amphetamine spree.

  3. This is the ORIGINAL impact production HEAVY driver first pressing from 54 years ... nothing to do in the same with the very tinny / flat , yet, yes scarce British reissue 10+ years later ...

  4. The REAL 1970 first print = none better !

  5. One to file next to Boa, Smokin' Willie and Stagefright for wild bonehead lo-fi realness.

    What the Franklin EXPLOSION has in its favor is engagingly raw, garage-like production and performance (the high-end snare drums are especially unusual for the genre), as well as relative economy; there are no long solos to be found on the six short cuts on Side One. While the side long "Climax," is a bombastic frenzied fuzz-mania jammer that'll remind some of the RAW POWER & Translucent World LP's by 'Strange.' ...

    From the back cover liner notes:

    This wild savage approach to hard rock blues is a combination of vicious jungle rock rhythms with very tight and lightening fast rhythm and lead progressions and a bass that goes right inside of you. The vocals are wild and insane yet loving and caressing. The sound that these four cats put out is so fantastic that you won't be able to turn it off. This is a new sound, a sound as wild and free as the Climax itself. For the Climax is made up of four rebellious wild fanatical musicians who literally go insane on stage, causing riots at every performance. People are going all the way with the Blues Climax. If you like hard rock music then you will love the Blues Climax.
