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 18,000 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!

.......................................................................
By the end of 1967 MAD RIVER had played a number of Fillmore and Avalon gigs and were signed to Capitol along with The Quicksilver Messenger Service and The Steve Miller Band. Their debut album was issued in 1968. Extremely uncommercial, and very psychedelic, it was particularly noteworthy for Lawrence Hammond's distinctive quavering vocals and some superb interweaving acid guitar work (particularly on The War Goes On and Eastern Light. It has later transpired that during its making the recording and playback speeds were not the same - so everything came out higher and faster than they had played it! Overall Mad River's first album features the dark side of the psychedelic experience, sounding like a soundtrack to a bad trip with its bleak, enigmatic lyrics, swirling, somewhat dissonant arrangements, and relentlessly minor melodies. The longer tracks feature rise and fall build ups with crashing acid guitar exchanges -- plus the hell-bent jerking tempos of "Merciful Monks" and "Amphetamine Gazelle," as well as the chilling closing lullaby "Hush Julian, " all still pack a punch !

The dark cover is PERFECT with perforated "Free" at top right signifying PROMOTIONAL COPY in the method Capitol Records issued their promo's in the '60s. This is obviously a final collection copy...most likely will NEVER be found in beautiful condition again, as this! Even the SEALED cellophane is NOT scuffed or scraped! Very seldom ever found in clean condition at all let alone flat, square with 4 sharp corners and NO wear to the front cover = LOOK! There are no split seams, no writing, no fading, no bends...a fantastic cover given the nature of the fragile material, again, over 50 years of age, guaranteed!
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
