• Year of Release: 1972

• Record Label / Catalogue #: Capitol ST-11015

• Commentary (Something like the Beatles, Rush, etc. speak for themselves! This is a space for more obscure items, to provide a loving collector's notes, no dealer hype, just because a Xian private press has 5 seconds of fuzz guitar for example doesn't make it a psych grail out of acid archives or Pokora!)

Review: Bang's debut self-titled album is the cutting edge for American releases in 1972. These guys crafted a megaton bomb of all originals, a proto-metal, hard rock, thematically in lyrics interestingly deriving from the cutting edge of prog rock... No one else really sounded like them, sure there's some overlap with say Sir Lord Baltimore, Blue Cheer, Cactus, but even if there was a Venn diagram of all 4, Bang had their own unique sound, that just doesn't have any easy comparison, like all great artists they were drawing from many sources of influence, and what came out was uniquely their musical voice. Nothing subsequent they did would ever hit like this, they had some other cool albums, but nothing as special & ground-breaking, this is the Zenith of their creative juices, and guarantees them a spot in that "pantheon of greatness".

My grading system comes from being a longtime collector myself, meaning conservative grading, and transparency :). NM EX VG+ VG VG- G+ 
Some terminology abbreviations: *DNAP = Does Not Affect Play *OIS = Original Inner Sleeve *WLP = White Label Promo
If a record is sealed, I will state "sealed" and presumed "mint", making sure it is flat, and such. Should a buyer win a sealed item, I am happy to unseal it for them upon request. 
Packing is done using LP mailers, record outside of jacket in polysleeve. All records that reach $30+ in final bidding will have a MoFi or similar high quality inner sleeve along with OIS (If OIS is applicable!) 
I have been collecting for about 20 years, and integrity is important to me; I want you to be proud and happy with your purchase, satisfied with accurate grading, and knowing you can have confidence in the record when bidding and purchasing.
At Rock2FunkYourJazzSoul we hope to have the honor of your business, and repeat business if another desired item comes up :)
Although the idea, practices is to absolutely avoid this for your satisfaction, if it happens, returns are accepted, money back, and for domestic purchasers in the US, the return shipping is on us. Everything possible is done to instead have an item you're completely satisfied with, but apart of integrity is standing by the customer, you. 
Please feel free to message with any questions, comments, concerns, and I will be happy to return a thorough, comprehensive response :)
*NOTE: PLEASE ALLOW FOR 5 DAY HANDLING TIME, I WILL ALWAYS INCLUDE TRACKING #*
If You Win Multiple Items Please Wait For My Invoice As I Will Combine Shipping To Be The Lowest Possible Cost For You :)

*NOTE ON CURRENT FEEDBACK: I have 1 negative feedback from a "buy it now" rare first edition book, from a partial refund troll, who refused full refund because they didn't want to return a book they admitted in the messaging was a great deal. eBay is currently adjudicating the matter, otherwise I have only positive feedback, check the one's left from my last vinyl sales for a good idea :)* - It's sad that this has happened, between Discogs, eBay, and selling at record conventions, I've never encountered this before. As someone who values integrity, I believe 99.9% of people are great, and will do good by others.
