Description
- This week I am offering nearly two-hundred great psych, psych-folk, psych-soul, hippie, freakbeat, prog, fuzz, heavy, sunshine pop, blues, and soul LPs from a fantastic one-owner collection!
- The majority of these scarce albums look as if they were bought yesterday, not of 35 to 40 years ago! Many are still sealed, many more are rare white label promotional pressings, and all are NM to MINT unplayed condition!
- The original owner obviously acquired these just to collect them, not to play them. You will want to buy as many from this collection as you can so you can get a savings on postage!
Sir Lord Baltimore on Mercury SR 61328 (stereo), "Kingdom Come."
-
John Garner (vocals, drums), Louis Dambra (guitar), Joey Dambra (guitar), Gary Justin (bass, vocals).
- "I read that this was the first album in whose review was used the term Heavy Metal for the first time, and is quite accurate, I doubt something could sound heavier than this in those times, 1970. The ten tracks are full of furious guitar riffs that blend in one to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the hardest Deep Purple, except in “Lake island of Innisfree”, that is a ballad tranced in the dreamy tradition of the folkiest Led Zep, and plus there is here a phenomenal John Garner, drummer-singer who screamed like a demented. Repeat: the work and grit of the guitars, sounding in surround, is extraordinary; extraterrestrial for the epoch. Songs to underline “Kingdom come” first of all, with a cool bass/drums structure and fierce attitude, “Master heartache”, very reminiscent to the first Sabbath blackness (misogyny?) and the first kraut/psych Scorpions; and the quoted “Lake island…” that is a refreshing evocative tune in the middle of so much fire. Thumbs up."
- Vintage LP record, USA pressing from 1970. This is the rare white label promotional pressing! Few were manufactured, and even fewer survive in this grand condition! This was manufactured in extremely limited quantities, primarily for radio station play only. This one was "leaked" to a private collector before it had a chance to be played, however!
-
Gatefold Unipak jacket constructed of sturdy white card stock with lithographed images. Jacket is NEAR-MINT condition, no splits, ring wear, writing, etc.
-
The disc appears to be MINT UNPLAYED PERFECT condition! Labels are perfectly clean and without spindle tracks or other evidence of play.
-
The jacket is not a cut out, so no cut corners, no drill holes, and no saw cuts. Obviously no bar codes, either.
I have been seeking out and selling vintage records professionally by mail for years. I am a collector as well. I know how to pack your valuable records for safe and speedy shipment, double-boxing when warranted and using industry-preferred boxes and mailers with sufficient cushioning material. Please do not neglect to check out the rest of my rare records!
INTERNATIONAL BIDDER INFO:
- Free postage offer does not apply. Add $4 per each additional LP. Double record sets count as two LPs, triple record sets count as three, etc.
- I do not charge handling fees. I also never use international first class shipping if you use PayPal, because it is not safe. USPS Priority or Express rate only, because they offer free tracking and insurance. Just slightly more expensive. If you cannot afford proper postage then this record is not for you.
- Finally, import duty taxes are the responsibilty of the buyer. I will not honor any request that I misrepresent parcel value or other information on the customs form.
On Jan-25-09 at 08:20:30 PST, seller added the following information: I do ship internationally. If you are the winning bidder and you require delivery outside the U.S.A., please pay strict attention:
- If you pay with PayPal, I will not ship with First Class mail.
- PayPal requires tracking for proof of delivery, and First Class does not offer that service.
- I understand the need to pay as little as possible for postage, so if you must have First Class delivery instead of the much safer Priority Mail, please email me before you bid so that we can come to an agreement.
