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.

1. UNDERRATED little known underground relic ~ filled with 'killer' rated tunes largely in league w/'MONSTER' RELICS front-loaded by gushing organ (keys) and loud guitar passages within catchy self composed tunes (English vocals) ... Inspired by early 70's Deep Purple and the heavy-rock "Krautrock" scene.

3. Their only LP "Substratum" remains recommended, delivering a full Lp dynamic energy. "Substratum: contains serious performance and listening skills having the 'right'sound growing strong with each repeat listen
   
4. Guitarist Raymond Amey, keyboardist Olivier Maire and rhythm guitarist Freddy Von Kaenel from La Chaux-de-Fonds in French-speaking western Switzerland founded the band Country Lane in 1970 with English vocals. With Giancarlo Duella (b) and Jean-Francois Donze (dr) as the complementary driving rhythm section, they toured successfully across the continent and even won second prize in a band competition in Geneva. This led to a record deal with Splendid Records and various invitations to renowned festivals throughout Switzerland. They recorded their first and only album, 'Substratum', in November 1972 at Sound-craft Studio in La Chaux-de-Fonds, produced by Jean-Pierre Louvin, who was also the owner of the legendary Splendid Records label. Their self-penned songs consist of hard progressive rock with complex melodies, containing both psychedelic and complex jazzy spin elements. The heavy progressive rock album was finally released in May 1973 and received consistently positive reviews from the music press.
   
   Nevertheless, the band broke up soon afterwards, firstly because the label's financial difficulties caused that the LP received no advertising or marketing, and secondly because the band split up due to musical differences. The original LP also released other precious hard-prog rock gems such as Pacific Sound and After Shave, and these days over 50+ years is exchanged at high prices.
