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. 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 become 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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.   CANADA ~ 1 LP 8.50; 2 discs $10.00; 3 discs $11.50; over 4 please contact us for shipping costs.   AUSTRALIA, THAILAND, JAPAN ~ 1 LP $18.00; 2 discs $23.00; 3 discs $27.00; 4 discs $32.00.

                 ...USA - Cotillion Records SD 9035 (W.L.PROMO)

MINTY CLEAN VINYL

RARE 1969 ADVANCE RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL  first pressing vinyl of the mighty SLADE in between their psych nuggets phase of AMBROSE SLADE and their early 70's stardom as hard rockers ...PLAY IT LOUD delivers perhaps their most solid album in the melodic hard edge underground psych territory...no holds barred riff growling rockers with great memorable melodic touches all throughout... not the GLAM sound of Slade's stardom, but rather hard-hitting tight & catchy underground rock

Aside from the Ambrose Slade album, PLAY IT LOUD is about as hard to find as that first Lp, we've only had a couple copies in the last several years...not getting any easier to find.

• Noddy Holder - lead vocals, rhythm guitar
• Dave Hill - lead guitar
• Jim Lea - bass guitar, violin
• Don Powell - drums

Produced by ex-Animals original member and first Jimi Hendrix Experience manager Chas Chandler ...Slade cooks from start to finish in a goood way on PLAY IT LOUD....Noddy Holders voice is raw, perfectly suited for the bands tough sound... Dace Hill's guitar is as good as it was ever going to be, Powell's drumming kept everything steady, and in Jimmy Lea, they had unearthed a Bass player of phenomenal ability... Dirty Joker is his standout track here but there are many favourites tucked away here.
"The Shape of Things to Come" was a single that should have scorched up the UK charts, but didn't, 'Dapple Rose' is also pretty catchy, and 'See Us Here' is yet another major effort at penning something 'self-important', pulled out by Holder's wonderful voice."Sweet Box" is as fresh today as it was then, and their take on "Angelina" is worth buying the Lp for on it's own. The shape of things to come indeed!!!

CONDITION: The cover: The only issue is a small short ink mark (very minor) and light stain clear down at bottom from moisture at one time. Still solid all over otherwise with only a little bit of shelf wear -- still collectible shape...has a clean promo sticker at bottom right which raises the value as a unique limited (PROMO ) = , but all solid original colors, no seam splits, no bends, no writing...

The vinyl: CLEAN...the Lp's grooves are TOP level M- and play graded really smooth and clear without problems...Nice rarity from over 40 years ago, is only getting harder to find by the day... CLEAN WHITE PROMO LABELS...
