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 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. 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.

PERFECT MINT ...
NUMBERED #224 of only 300 MADE ISSUE FROM LONG LONG AGO
Unfortunately about the only way one is ever going to be able to ENJOY this GREAT album is by this pressing or the lesser repro 'out there'... Only around 100 copies made, and those are seemingly lost in the past, never turning up. Here are the SMACK::::
Recorded in late July early August 1968 in Lawrence, Kansas USA. The original issue was pressed in a quantity of 100~150 copies, and sold to other attendees at the campus. It contains nine fuzz-drenched covers; four Hendrix covers, three Cream covers, a Buffalo Springfield cover, and an interesting reinvention of a Kinks track.
An original Smack LP is rare as gold dust. We have only seen 2 copies for sale the past 20 years for massive money. The music is 100% greatness delivering versions most know and love that are played with extra attitude, feeling, and drive... heavy fuzz guitar, vocals, bass & drums. Those versions of Cream and Hendrix songs are killer. The whole album (very well produced) has a one of a kind Psychedelic feel. There are not many cover albums which give you another perspective on those known songs. This album does for sure :::
1. Purple Haze (Hendrix) - 3:49
3, Fire (Hendrix) - 2:48
3. Sunshine Of Your Love (Clapton, Bruce, Brown) - 4:22
4. I'm So Glad (James) - 4:06
5. Swlabr (Brown, Bruce) - 2:32
6. Manic Depression (Hendrix) - 3:00
7. Set Me Free (Davies) - 2:05
8. For What It's Worth (Stills) - 2:36
9. Foxey Lady (Hendrix) - 3:17

The vinyl: may be un-played... stone MINT may never have been played - looks THAT perfect, plus the original owner we obtained this from (with all due respect) had SO many records in his library, he might have just accumulated and didn't actually play the record, or if did, was no more than one... that clean
