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. 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!

AUTHENTIC INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS LABEL ISSUE
= TOP COPY = STILL FACTORY SEALED =
LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS
FREEFORM PATTERNS
\ USA - International Artists - IALP #6 (Aqua blue label) Stereo
STILL FACTORY SEALED... RARE & SOUGHT authentic old thick cardboard cover vintage issue on the legendary International Artists label, released 35 years ago, in '78, an old "I.A." pressing from the masters and was the last official I.A. pressing = very collectible Texas acid injected fuzzrock crew who issued four outstanding psychedelic garage albums on the International Artists label...here's arguably the best album they released.
With the pressing being so old, it is constructed of the old '60s styled paste on cover slicks, and of course there is NO bar code ...
By the early 1960s Lightin' Hopkins reputation as one of the most compelling blues performers was cemented. He had finally earned the success and recognition which were overdue. In 1968, Hopkins recorded the album Free Form Patterns backed by the rhythm of psychedelic rock band the 13th Floor Elevators.
Lightnin' Hopkins originally recorded the ten tracks that make up Free Form Patterns on February 1, 1968, for the International Artists label. Also on that label's roster was the psychedelic group 13th Floor Elevators. For this session, producer Lelan Rogers (Kenny's brother) teamed Hopkins up with Elevators drummer Danny Thomas and bassist Duke Davis . No one tried to bend Hopkins to fit a foreign musical approach on Free Form Patterns; he made the music bend to him. Hopkins' style was born from spending many hours playing informally without a backing band. His distinctive fingerstyle playing often included playing, in effect, bass, rhythm, lead, percussion, and vocals, all at the same time. He played both "alternating" and "monotonic" bass styles incorporating imaginative, often chromatic turnarounds and single note lead lines. Tapping or slapping the body of his guitar added rhythmic accompaniment.
