Very rare real people psych. Hard to describe. Apparently only 500 was pressed.

Patrick "The Lama" Lundborg from The Acid Archives (www.lysergia.com) writes:

“Incredibly strange (true, for once) real people artefact from a Bay Area guy who claims to be "king of the flying saucer people". Moves in a Grudzien/Skip Spence direction but without their big city vibes, more like if one of those inbred hillbilly degenerates in "Deliverance" made an LP, complete with pig oinks. First side is twisted backporch acid folkblues with amazing lyrics, side 2 is mostly the sound of crickets, water and nightbirds with fragments of music here and there, like if the tripper wandered off into the woods. It's hard to determine the angle Tweddle is coming from as the music is obviously retro yet has an undeniable authenticity to it, not unlike Bob Dylan's early 1960s bootleg recordings. The "Alien Invaders" track rivals Grudzien for surreal mountain music, and the "sounds of nature" side sucks you into a forgotten movie inside your mind. One of the major pieces in the Fringe Of Everything genre, and a great foldout sleeve too. Apparently Charlie is a famous designer of $1000 cowboy hats!”

Pokora 4 stars.

 

Cover: Gatefold is very nice, with only some wear at upper seam, causing a 3½” split at opening, and a few very small tears at upper front, and a little wear at corners too. Otherwise really nice. Overall VG++ to most.

 

Record: Disc is in perfect M- shape. A few sleeve scuffs is all.

 

General information: Hi! Up for auction this week is a bunch of very rare psych, beat and folk LP’s from around the world. I got these on a consignment deal from a dealer friend of mine. All are in my possession and have been visually AND play graded. Please check out them all, most of these you will not see again for quite a while, so grab them now you got the chance. Reasonable opening prices and NO reserve.

As far as I can tell, these are all original first prints, but I must admit that I am not familiar with all of these myself. I have tried to be accurate with my description, without being pedantic. If you need more information, like full track list, matrix number, additional photos etc please mail me, and I will try to help as good as I can. If you have any questions, or if you have knowledge about any of these that you feel should be stated in my description, please let me know, and I will add or correct.

 

Grading: I use GOLDMINE standards for grading. But have tried to be as accurate with my description instead of just giving a grade, as it seems that a M- record to some is a VG record to others and vice versa!! All records are guaranteed, if you are not satisfied, you get your money back (except postage).

 

Shipping and Postage: Postage at actual cost. I am working at strange hours and sometimes long shifts, so it’s not always possible for me to ship immediately after payment arrives. Shippings will be made AT LEAST once a week.

 

Payments: I do accept paypal, but it’s not free and you have to add 3% to your payment. Money orders (bidpay) or cash in registered letters works fine. Bank transfers or checks could be arranged too if you need to, but I haven’t checked out the fees for this, but as for paypal, you pay any fees. If you don’t wanna pay the fees – sent cash.
