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.

The HEADS OF OUR TIME was attempting to segue from R&B into the psychedelic field, perhaps influenced by other contemporary sounds of that time such as the Beatle's "Strawberry Fields Forever" or the Beach Boys "Good Vibrations". This was our first experience with Canadian psych Lp and we have to admit that it is pretty entertaining ...
You'd never know it from the cover art, liner notes, or the wild-assed psych that populated these grooves, but this anonymous outfit traced its roots back to the mid-1960s and the band The Majestics.
In an obvious attempt to update their sound, the majority of the band stuck together to record an album credited to Jay Jackson and Rick Robertson in the Heads Of Our Time.
Majestics vocalist Jackson and keyboard player/arranger Eric Robinson were the apparent brainchildren behind this project. Released on the small Canadian Good Groove label (love the name), 1970's "The Subtle Art of Self Destruction" offered up a mix of original material and contemporary hits done in psyched-out fashion. Musically the album could serve as a primer for studio psych effects - it was all here including waves of fuzz guitar, sitar, backward tapes, channel panning, tons of sound effects and hysterical over-the-top belly button gazing insight such as that found on 'W.O.R.D.S' ("a burning desire for a woman with a blank look on her face, who will assist you in the subtle art of self destruction"). These guys just didn't waste a single trick in pulling the album together. Highlights included the blazing FUZZED guitar opening instrumental 'Airhead' and the weirdest cover of 'Wichita Lineman' you'll ever hear (with SITAR). Less impressive, but still worth hearing were a couple of the covers, including 'Mercy, Mercy, Mercy' which harkened back to their Majestics days, a ''heavy-ed up' 'With a Little Help from My Friends' and one of the stranger Hendrix covers you'll likely ever hear - 'Crosstown Traffic'. Sure it may not have been great art, but the LP is a load of fun! As an aside, the album was best heard through a pair of quality headphones with a good beer, or 'joint' (or both) in hand.
