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 +22,000 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 = $5.87 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.   All Canadian and Overseas shipping ~ Please inquire about rates.

  2.  BEST 1968 ORIGINAL WE'VE EVER SEEN! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
  3. If there is one album that makes you desperately nostalgic for a time and place, this is it. The dueling guitars of Duncan and Cipollina, chiming, jagged, hesitant, liquid, blistering, soaring, the very essence the perception of "westcoastism."
        
  4. Stand out tracks are everywhere, yet one among others has to be "The Fool" it just says everything "sonic", give your 'head' a treat and play this album back to back with Country Joe's Electric Music for Mind and Body and then you're there! Try to remember what year your in! 
  5. If you only own one Quicksilver Messenger Service album make this the one!

  8.     The grooves starts as soon as the tonearm drops on the vinyl and doesn't stop; irresistible. One of the few darlings of the San Francisco sixties scene deserving its high standing. Overall, song for song, a fantastic album of tightly arranged hard twin guitar dominated psych and extended compositions. John Cippolina's guitar playing is stunning, and the dense epic album closer The Fool is a masterpiece of composition noteworthy for innovation in the use of guitar effects....
