Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind 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 became very slow.

OUTSTANDING HARD PROG/BLUES/PSYCH & HARD UNDERGROUND MIXES

ADVANCE RELEASE PROMOTIONAL

ORIGINAL 1970 RARE COLLECTIBLE

VERY RARE...IN MINT CONDITION

THE GOLDEN EARRINGS

WALL OF DOLLS

\ USA - DWARF/PERCEPTION RECORDS - PDLP 2-000

RARE...TOP CLEAN ....one of the BEST copies seen in tooo many years....

ADVANCE RELEASE PROMOTIONAL... really rare with PROMO ONLY "Perception" label design...the scarce stock copies are with "Dwarf" labels

Original 1969 first pressing on the obscure "Dwarf/Perception" records label...this thick gatefold first pressing has become something of a sought collectors item, one of the very best by the storied Golden Earring band who started out in the early 60's and are one of the longest running bands who still perform and release albums ...

WALL OF DOLLS is a fresh sound from the underground centered on striking prog & psych hardrock mixes through both sides...

The music roots of GOLDEN EARRING are basically hardrock, psychedelic, with progressive flavors using blues style in some of the compositions. Like in 'Yellow And Blue', the acoustic guitar at intro part layered by ambient fluttering flute work confirms their standing in psychedelic with bluesy style. It's a killing track and it's great being put as the album opener. As the music moves, it changes into energetic style maintaining good melody through the vocal line. The harmonies created through vocal and flute are excellent. It might reminds you to the early music of Jethro Tull, actually.

'The Loner' relies in itself with the soft guitar riffs that bring the music into medium tempo composition with good melody. You can see the bass guitar playing is quite attractive throughout the song combined with catchy guitar riffs. The guitar solo is also stunning. 'This Is The Time Of The Year' brings the music into break with vocal line performance followed later with guitar riffs that bring the music flowing in an attractive way.

The opening part of 'Big Tree Blue Sea' would definitely remind you to the kind of Focus / Jethro Tull music. This track has various complex styles as it moves from one segment to another -- a progressive rock music structure. You might really categorize this as a prog song. The guitar solo and interlude at 'The Wall Of Dolls' is really stunning, in a moody & highly infectious tune of the best kind. 'Back Home' is like a 60's The Rolling Stones tune with flutework. The other excellent track is 'As Long As The Wind Blows' with its terrific melody that latches on your mind.
