Description

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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us.  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 +21,000 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

  1. 1969 FINAL COLLECTION ARTIFACT 

  3. Spirit
  4. CLEAR this was really a fruition of what Spirit was trying to do prior to their 12 Dreams Lp They rocked harder, jazzed better, played looser but just as skillfully and in terms of composition, the songs and individual musicians again are top notch. 

  6. Dark Eyed Woman...timelessly great hard rocker with a ferocious infectious "hook" amid killer guitar tone by Randy California...intelligently executed keys and bass playing an interesting theme only to explode in the mid section where Randy unleashes a screamer guitar solo, not to be forgotten...and backed by the many percussion beats by the legendary Ed Cassidy on drums. CLEAR is a highly entertaining album that grows with repeat plays. Several  standout winners include "Apple Orchard with again all members contributing magically. "So Little Time to Fly" creates a wonderful off pace drifter with a gorgeous laid back feel, and  lyrics about escaping the city, and watch out for overdubbed guitar heaven in the instrumental section. SPIRIT hits another self composed classic with the grinding rawness of ' Ground Hog Day,' with Randy playing acoustic slide and unique guitar lines...very unusual and totally original. "I'm TRUCKING" - a killer FM radio play list fave ... "Cold Wind" is impressive as is "Policeman's Ball" "New Dope in Town" and the beautiful flowing "Give A Life Take A Life"
  7. The second side has 3 incredible tracks with the best titled perfectly "Ice"...just an incredible atmosphere classic song with SPIRIT influences coming through. Altogether, CLEAR SPIRIT  creates ambient mood enhancers within their crafted tunes that helped their world-wide status as darlings of FM Radio UNDERGROUND ROCK in the 60's.
  8. SPIRIT featured TWO accomplished vocalists in also guitarist Randy California and Jay Ferguson who trade lyrics off all throughout the album ... the classic SPIRIT sound!
