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 +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. Highly desired 1971 progressive/psych original...
  2. It's all warrior ~~ much to enjoy without a dull moment
  3. .............................................
  4. “Time is” ~ the second and final album release by the mighty “Raw Material”. Released in 1971 on the legendary “RCA Neon” label was the answer from RCA to the “Vertigo” label launched by Philips Records almost two years earlier.

    A wild looking bunch was RAW MATERIAL playing an adventuristic brand of underground progressive/psych/art rock reflecting UK 1970 era in vein of early King Crimson, early Van der Graaf Generator, Czar, Pink Floyd+ all in top level as a self-penned performance. Much     loved by universal musicologists, seldom surfaces and sells in upwards of $2000 ; rising as time goes by

    “Time is” ...by “Raw Material” on the now famed “RCA Neon” label wasn’t given a long life. The label started and folded in the same year. Only 11 releases were produced with Raw Material "Time Is" being about the best on the UK only label Now considered among any of the TOP flight progressive artifacts from the early 70's era.

  7. Based on heavy guitars, wind riffs, nice organ chords, mixing enhancing flute among strong vocals.The interluding acoustic and melodic moments are reminiscent of early Pink Floyd.
  8.  The interesting gatefold sleeve was design by a visionary stoner they called "Keef."

  9.                  CONDITION:
  1. The cover: rated: solid, collection worthy VG (+)  front & back gatefold = despite light (always the case) shelf rub-wear, there remains small sticker removal repair off to left edge and name on back, not distracting. Otherwise gatefold cover is absolute flat & square with sharp corners... the group inner sleeve image is nice and near M- without shelf-wear... Overall, there are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends.
  2. Original 1971 colors are not faded
  1. The vinyl: Rated: near M- carefully played, taken care of, looks clean with original shiny luster and plays fantastic clean audio without surface interruptions. Not necessary to upgrade and incudes the original all-black UK-NEON inner sleeve. 
  2. Both UK Neon labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
