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.

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.

SCARCE ...Original 1972 first pressing of the mighty EARTHQUAKE, a hard workin' hard-rockin' crew who plugged the San Francisco scene constantly at the turn of 1970 & beyond, developing a loyal gathering of followers ... Earthquake supported the cream of the crop, the who-who in San Francisco legend, at clubs & ballrooms such as the Fillmore, etc.
Earth Quake was born out of the fertile Bay Area San Francisco music scene. The band's lineup, as heard on this album was John Doukas - vocals, Robbie Dunbar - guitar , Stan Miller - bass and Steve Nelson - drums. They honed their late '60s/early '70s rock at countless small clubs, parties and free concerts in Provo Park (the latter being a pivotal venue that hosted numerous free Sunday shows), bridging their edge to the late '60s hardrock jams. They were equally adept at kicking out 9-minute guitar rockers as they were at catchy 3-minute power-pop and ripping-rock.
Hooking up with Matthew "King" Kaufman as their manager, they landed a deal with A&M and recorded the LP "Why Don't you Try Me" that had been practiced hundreds of times in endless gigs. The result is incredibly tight, both in the playing and singing, but with the sort of casualness born of familiarity. The album's tracks, all reproduced faithfully, show off both the band's chops, and represent a great look at the band's original late '60s essence and the turn from the more elastic rock on the San Francisco scene into more concise forms.Light Before The Blindman's Eyes ..... 3:33
