Description
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 18,000 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

A Beauty!
Harder than you may think to find in MINT CLEAN condition. Especially the cover showing virtually NO wear(!) The dark cover is one of the most wear-prone covers in existence! Here's your TOP survivor from 49 years ago!
Original 1970 Pressing ~~ the BEST we've seen in years!
MINT CLEAN VINYL too!
Gotten extinct as of late, a really hard find, sought after hard heavy early 1970 progressive rock ...the very first BIRTH CONTROL...original first pressing on the underground Prophesy label ...
The heaviest BIRTH CONTROL had to offer, though they made several albums and were a popular pioneering 'Krautrock' band, none of their albums were consitantly as hard'n'heavy as their 1970 first...loaded with mean riffing chops, grizzly dirty distortion guitar battling surging Hammond organ and gravel throaty vocals...Birth Control #1 is on fire...
Sonic inspirations from 1970...driving heavy rock with a great dose of progressive moves. The music is largely dominated by epic Hammond organ sequences and fuzzing guitar sections.
"No Drugs" climaxes the album: a venomous, aggressive, dark composition with austere melody, searing guitar lines and infectious sound. There are some excellent numbers here. "Recollection" and the long "Sundown" are the highlights. Both feature great organ play and fuzz guitar ...the latter has an excellent upbeat tempo. They are the pure sound collectors of the genre seek.
This album also features other strong tracks like "Deep Inside" & "Foolish Action". Surprisingly, the vocals are pretty decent which is not always the case with German bands.
The cover of "Light My Fire" fits perfectly well in their repertoire. The sound of the organ is of course not the Manzarek one, but, for sure, this version is quite good. Faster than the great original.
This first BIRTH CONTROL has become increasingly difficult to find, especially in minty clean collectible condition...as this...

CONDITION: The cover: Rated: M- TOP COPY, impossible to find THIS clean ... one of the most wear-prone covers, about all copies have some wear here is your minty survivor - still has a fresh appearance -- there is only a had to see small delete drill in center (& label) even so is a beauty from 49 years ago! There are no split seams, no bends, and no writing ... VERY collection worthy appearance
The vinyl: Rated: M- TOP COPY, all clean, play back should not reveal alarming distracting surface problems, only pure joy! ... both Prophesy labels are clean with tiny delete drill
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
