WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS…

PETER THOMAS SOUND "Organic"

Original 1968 LP on the Canadian POLYDOR label, STEREO 543.017

Cover:  VG++, cutout hole

Vinyl:  VERY CLEAN, plays EXCELLENT

Just like the wild-eyed hopped-up-on-Ecstasy babe on the cover, the music on Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra’s Organic is built for the dancefloor.  The strobe-lighted liquid-slide UFO Club dancefloors of 1968, to be more precise, but your vinyl-strewn Lucio Fulcio-postered bedroom circa 2010 will be just fine enough thank you.  Fear not, boys and girls, lest you be thinkin’ this is a fancy fine and proper “orchestral album” - there ain’t no French horns or cellos in this here orchestra.  This is all Hammond and wah wah guitars and lots of trippy psych-o-delic color wheel effects.  Listen as the Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra take on all the hippest now sounds of today!  Check out their jaunty Carnaby Street paisley take on the Small Faces’ “Lazy Sunday.”  Or how about their spooky ethereal take on Dylan’s “This Wheel’s On Fire,” complete with trippy mind-altering mega-phasing effects!  Best of the lot by far – their super cool, brilliantly cheesy Hammond organ take on the Stones’ “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” with so much shimmering wah wah guitar it’ll make yer head spin around like Stevie Nicks with vertigo.  And it’s got better production and stereo separation than the original – why, I tell ya, much like Jerry Hall, you won’t even miss Mick Jagger!  And then there’s that crazy cover, practically a free bonus! – nothing says hopped up on amphetamines and sleeping with Keith Richards like that image on the front there.  We should all live vicariously through that woman.

 HEAR IT!

The less exciting stuff

Media mail shipping with delivery confirmation starts at $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping.  ALL DOMESTIC ORDERS REQUIRE DELIVERY CONFIRMATION, WHICH IS AN EXTRA 75 CENTS.  Air mail shipping to Canada starts at $10 US, each additional record $2 shipping.  Air mail shipping everywhere else in the world starts at $16 US, with each additional record only $3 shipping.  ALL FOREIGN ORDERS REQUIRE CERTIFICATE OF SHIPMENT, WHICH IS AN EXTRA $1.10.  I accept payments through Paypal. 

I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it.  Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves.  But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on. 

SHIPPING AND PACKAGING

Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package.  I hate that too.  So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s.  And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums).  I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job.  But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts. 

And finally, I include delivery confirmation on all shipments inside the US.  This is my proof of shipment, and also helps us to track your package if it doesn’t arrive when it should.  I will email you within 2 days of shipment and give you the confirmation number at that time.  Insurance is always optional, but for larger orders, it’s highly recommended.   I DO NOW REQUIRE THAT ALL FOREIGN BUYERS PAY AN ADDITIONAL $1.10 FOR PROOF OF SHIPMENT.  IT'S A NOMINAL FEE AND THE CHEAPEST WAY FOR ME TO PROVE THAT I ACTUALLY SHIPPED YOUR PACKAGE AND DIDN'T JUST POCKET YOUR MONEY AND SKIP TOWN.  For more security and international tracking, you may request GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL - but bear in mind the cost of this service is upwards of $30.  For expensive items, however, it may be well worth it.  Unfortunately, there isn’t a cost-effective way of tracking parcels to foreign countries yet, and shipping times vary depending on your country’s postal system.   Italy in particular seems to be really bad at delivering packages quickly, or delivering packages at all, now that you mention it.  I will always email you when your package ships, but once it’s on its way, please don’t ask me when it will arrive because I don’t know.  If the world’s postal systems can ever agree on a universal tracking system that’s affordable, I’ll be the first to use it.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…

I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return.  All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction.  Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong.  You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed.  If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
