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.

Rare original 1967 garage/psych first pressing ~ genuinely cool grooves by top sixties hipsters who KNOW how to play....
Based in Washington, D.C., guitarist Wally Cook had been a member of The Young Rabbits. In 1965 he hooked up with singer/bassist Jack Bryant and Charlie Jones to form The Disciples. Within a matter of months they became The Uncalled, followed by a shift to The Fallen Angels...
Switching to the New York based Roulette Records, saw the band release their first LP - 1967's "The Fallen Angels". For their part Roulette executives were probably hoping to repeat their Tommy James and the Shondells successes. Boy were they in for a rude surprise -- as the band turned in an overlooked psychedelic classic. Largely written by Bryant and Danchik, material such as "Room At the Top", "Introspective Looking Glass" and "Your Friends Here In Dundeville" was full of hazy lyrics, weird timings, fuzz guitar and sound effects - simply too progressive for mainstream consumption. Mind you, the set wasn't perfect. Bryant's voice was best described as anonymous despite having a strong vocal range. Also of concern, at this point in time the trippy lyrics weren't likely to do much for radio airplay. The overall results were well worth hearing and the LP should be considered a 'must have' in any sixties and/or psych collection.
- Jack Bryant -- vocals, bass
- Wally Cook -- guitar
- Howard Danchik -- keyboards, flute
- Rocky Isaacs -- drums
- Charlie Jones -- guitar
Jack Bryant was the lead singer, bass player and a prolific songwriter. Jack provided the creative focal point of the group and with his full beard and shoulder length hair, he was the spitting image of a counterculture "Christ" Figure. Jack had an amazing vocal range, equally adept at belting out powerhouse rock/blues or subtly phrasing folk/jazz lyrics. He also was a heck of a bass player. The bulk of the songwriting came from Jack and was often autobiographical and eloquently expressed his intense personal philosophy.
Wally Cook, lead guitarist, was a master of any style. Wally had a quiet stage presence which was counterbalanced by the ferocious sounds which emanated from his guitar.
Howard Danchik handled the keyboards and songwriting. A classically trained musician, Howard was a comedic talent who loved to have wacky interactions with the audience members. In many ways, Howard was reminiscent of a young, psychedelic Peter Sellers.
Jack Lauritsen, also classically trained, was a multi-instrumentalist who started off as a rhythm guitarist and moved on to develop his own searing, jazz-flavored lead guitar style. In addition to providing beautiful string arrangements for various Fallen Angel compositions, Jack did hilarious impersonations of then president LBJ when the band performed at anti-war protests.
John "Thumper" Molloy played the drums with a solid, no-frills, driving intensity. Thumper typically played while wearing a black turtleneck, and given his strong upper body development, he projected a foreboding persona - almost like masked medieval executioner - from behind his drum set.
