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 became 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.

RARE - SELDOM SEEN: ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL of the impact powerhouse 1968 recording...
Four performances from three concerts in San Francisco -- in their studio recordings Cream don't get beyond the pop-rock format. The longer live recordings give CREAM more room to move in and Eric Clapton's guitar takes its place at the centre of the music: we have some idea of why someone might have painted EC is God on a London wall. As the basic jazz form is to state the theme and then go into a series of individual variations, here they sing the song - the weakest part of the performances - and then spring into the heart of the music. Rollin' and Tumblin', highlighting Jack Bruce's harmonica, is a fun performance and must have been tremendous on the night. 'Sleepy Time Time' is a solid blues and always makes for a good listen with the LIVE variation from the studio version, but it is on the other two performances - N.S.U. and Sweet Wine - that the band move onto a different plane: With the influence of Bruce and Baker, CLAPTON gets pushed into areas he might not have otherwise gone, i.e., away from straight blues and towards a jazzier aesthetic, resulting in his most astonishing and original work. Jack Bruce was interviewed not long ago saying that for him and Ginger Baker Cream were the Ornette Coleman trio, with Clapton taking the Coleman role, they just never told Clapton. And perhaps this is why this is far as rock could go, although 'N.S.U.' and 'Sweet Wine' are the most exciting highlights of this platter...and no weak moments, mind you.
