DOMESTIC SHIPPING $ 5 PLUS $ 1 EACH ADDITIONAL DISC . INTERNATIONAL IS $ 20 PLUS $ 6 EACH ADDITIONAL DISC. I`M SELLING THIS ONLY BECAUSE IT IS A GREAT RECORD BUT THE COVER IS BAD AND THE ALBUM LOOK BAD . HOWEVER THE RECORD HAS NO SCRATCHES AND PLAYS GREAT.ACTUALLY IF YOU KNOW HOW TO CLEAN A RECORD IT MIGHT END UP LOOKING EXCELLENT. THE COVER LOOKS ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT CAN. NOW TO THE MUSIC The singer (Robin Floyd, who looks like Andy Gibb, bottom right) sounds abnormally like Axel Rose, with his nasal delivery and dramatic or operatic vibrato at all volumes. However this is a hugely enjoyable album for me, and I'm sure it will be for many others. I had low hopes due to its hard rock / AOR description, but it turned out to be far above average for the overall genre. Be sure to play it loud . One song starts with a Keith Emerson-like keyboard solo, almost as if the band had decided to do a live performance which featured long-winded classical-inspired solo Another song features, after a silly swing cymbal syncopated start, a to and fro between guitar riffs and sung riffs, like on Black Dog, but the power of both is astonishing. What makes the guitar part so interesting is the constant use of odd notes incl. the traditional A flat (in a song I think is in D). The guitarist is Wayne Fritz, whose brother is playing bass here (seated next to each other in the middle with matching mustaches and hairstyles on the back cover). Notice how about two-thirds into the song it changes into an instrumental after a modulation-- a device which Led Zep did often enough, and probably invented but here, they also modulate quite suddenly in the middle of a phrase almost, and into an unrelated key (B flat, from A). And Wayne, with his Eddie Van Halen style, is really extraordinary on soloing: A VERY GOOD AND INTEREST INDIE FOR 1978 WELL AHEAD OF IT TIMES. JUST REMEMBER THIS IS NOT ONE OF MY NORMAL SEALED OR MINT RECORDS. BUT VERY LISTENABLE QUALITY
