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!

The ULTIMATE SPINACH never quite reached the heights of '67/'68 again. While something to hear in every second on BOTH first 2 records. 
ULTIMATE SPINACH 1968 is of the greatest "Boss-Town Sound" records you'll ever hear ~ their acid-rock CLASSIC !

You'll hear Ian's echoed voice warning (yet seductive) then before you know it you're into the first song Ego Trip about your own misguided mind journey, don't you see? If you don't, leave NOW because you don't get it.

Filled with over-the-top psychedelic groovers
turning-on the 'hippie' culture. 
Anti-war sentiment is a major theme; not forgetting paranoia, HUGE in the sixties. 
Musically this is a delight, amid great crisp engineering, 
very effective in multiple tracks with a wide variety of guitar using wah-wah, fuzz, echo, tremolo, feedback and volume control.

Hip Death Goddess ... turn down the lights and flow with it.
Sacrifice to the Moon is in four parts. Which one is our favorite? You have to read the liner notes by the bands mastermind Ian Bruce-Douglas. 
The Ultimate Spinach are a time capsule of hippie'68 mind thought, a wonderful 60's throwback night. Put some colored bulbs into your lamps and spin the Ultimate Spinach and you are on a 'far-out' sixties mind-trip ...

This album is still well thought of by psych fans. The English glossy magazine Classic Rock listed the 42 Greatest Psychedelic Albums. The first
Ultimate Spinach went to number 36 among BEATLES Sgt Peppers, Jimi Hendrix ~ Axis Bold as Love, CREAM~ Disraeli Gears, etc.

Here's what they had to say: "Leaders of the Boston psychedelic surge, Ultimate Spinach were re-crystallised from the hippie underground Cinema around multi-instrumentalist Ian Bruce-Douglas and singer Barbara Hudson.
Viewing the renaissance musical landscapes through rose-tinted spectacles, coming - up with elaborate suites like Ballad Of The Hip Death Goddess with its theremin sound-effect solo ... and the L.S.D. atmospheric Ego Trip, all bolstered by Hudson's ethereal vocals and highly effective swirl keys & fuzz-tone guitar injections. T
This album sold quite well but hipster fans were not enamored with the  marketing campaign to promote the so- called 'Bosstown Sound', and, by the way, any attempts to reach out to the West Coast psych sounds were easily noted after Country Joe McDonald rightly- sued , for lifting the Fish's "Section 43" and renaming it "Sacrifce Of The Moon" as if their own, still injecting a winning formula ...
