In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

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!

MINTY CLEAN VINYL
Original 1973 first pressing in totally different gatefold cover (to the USA issue)...and one of the GREAT underrated British progressives...these cats really had it swinging on album SEVEN. Jelled with tight complex creative works; the fuzz bass throbbing overdrive rhythms amid gushing distortion box affected organ - while whirl winds splatter in and out of the heated unification ...all to simmer as melodic tones paint avant patterns -- the kind that only bands like the Soft Machine, Moving Gelatine Plates, and a handfull of others could pull off....This Canterbury fusion album is quite unique. The musicians play a disciplined music, and with very hypnotic/trancy patterns. The tracks rather have varied sounds. The rhythmic low frequency keyboards on "Nettle Bed" are trancy; there are numerous moog solos, and the drums played by John Marshall are very fast and complex. The mellow "Carol Ann" has a relaxing combination of slow bass, Moog and electric keys: this track is adventuous. On "Day's Eye", there is an excellent Canterburian synthesizer, sounding like if you blow in a Chicklets gum carton package: definitely a modified organ sound; a rhythmic electric piano accompanies it, with a punchy fuzz bass and fast & restless drums. Like on "Nettle Bed", "Tarabos" has a rhythmic low frequency synthesizer, and it contributes to form a trancy rhythm. "D.I.S." is very psychedelic and it consists in can percussions and other non- metallic percussion's.
On side 2, "Snodland" is a delicate combination of percussions and electric piano. On "Penny hitch", the "Chicklets gum carton package" (distortion) organ effects reappear with some trancy electric piano notes and curious oboe sounds; the rhythmic patterns are again very trancy. "Block" still has those "Chicklets gum carton package" (distortion) modified organ effects, and this track is much more loaded with TONS of complex drums, electric keys and punchy fuzzbass lines: the last part containing saxes is VERY structured and synchronized. "Down the road" seems to have flutes; the rhythm, again, trancy, and the saxes sound a bit strange in effects as well.
