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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. 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. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SCARCE .... 1971 GARAGE FUZZROCK JAMMER
RARE "HAPPY TIGER" ORIGINAL THAT PLAYS TOPS!
THEM
I N R E A L I T Y
\ USA -HAPPY TIGER - HT 1012
RARE and sought 1971 hard psych rock ripper ... This is the storied THEM, the popular '60s band who had the massive hit "GLORIA" ...fallen on hard times when singer Van Morrison left the band in 1966...the remaining members moved to Texas in the hotbed of garage rock action. Texas THEM caught the vibe and released some remarkable garage & psych albums on both TOWER and HAPPY TIGER labels...Them's '71 IN REALITY features some shredding fuzzrock of the best kind...
Highlights include opening two tracks, which are extended heavy power-trio versions of their two biggest hits, 'Gloria' and 'Baby Please Don't Go'. The versions here are better than the originals and show that original THEM member Alan Henderson knew exactly what the band's situation was by including them. But there's a lot of great music on this album...Other tracks contain sharp dirty distortion (big muff fuzz tone) and wah-wah guitar tones...And don't think for a minute, though, that other serious rock musicians weren't paying attention: the opening riff played by guitarist Jim Parker on 'Let My Song Through' was directly lifted and used by Lynyrd Skynyrd on 'Sweet Home Alabama'. Them play it with an offhanded abandon as opposed to Skynyrd's polished technicality, but this is where they got it, folks...
