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 +22,000 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.

Thank you for your interest and support.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING:   USA ~ 1 LP = $5.87 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.   All Canadian and Overseas shipping ~ Please inquire about rates.

1. Lots of buyer interest last time listed (a couple years ago!), here is even a better (MINTY) ORIG!
2. Always been hard to find, long time NO see here...
3. Original 1968 first pressing of an interesting psych item that doesn't turn up often , a worthy collectible...

5. Formed by ex-Wings member Oz Bach, and produced by Chad Stuart of Chad and Jeremy fame, this album slithers all over the place like a divinely mad snake on the trip of a lifetime. Eastern influences, military drumming and pieces of pastoral delight combine to intoxicate and alienate in equal measure.

7. This spider has been out in the sun too long, is both scary and mad, but wishes to infiltrate the eardrums and share the madness.

9. Joining Bach on bass, were Steve Zwirm, drums, Tom Grasso, organ, Thad Maxwell, electric guitar, and Mike Edelman on vocals and flute.

   ”Red Herring, ” as the name suggests, goes all over the shops, but somehow manages to never topple into the abyss it so perilously skirts, whilst “Billie the Birdman” begins as pure Beatles in “Strawberry Fields” mode, but ends as a whimsical Blur at their most Parklife. The brief, sad smattering of applause at the track’s demise, and that of the album, portended the meager portion of appreciation shown Tarantula. Things didn’t translate into wider recognition and success, and they didn’t cross the line from 1969 to ’70.
   
   It is easy to see why they never hit anything resembling the big time. They probably weren’t even attempting to, and may not have managed the consequences of success too well. Albums like this don’t get made because of good sense and rational behavior, but they do betray impeccable timing and taste. As Mr. Wilde once opined, “All things in moderation, especially moderation.” 
2. Tarantula thankfully gave free rein to their notions, albeit 1 album briefly, and left us a box of tricks worthy of Pandora. More Peach Fuzz everyone?...
