The Fourmost were better than most of the other Liverpool bands of the period at mixing a good, hard guitar attack with pleasing harmonies and some pleasing lead lines on the breaks. Moreover, this album gave them a chance to preserve some of the harder rock numbers that they'd been building their reputation on for years. So their cover of "My Block" is a perfectly respectable piece of Merseybeat-style rock & roll (lead vocal by Billy Hatton), even with the faux-Spanish feel to the guitar break, and they do a credible midtempo rock job on "Some Kind of Wonderful." "Till You Say You'll Be Mine" features one of the better acoustic and electric 12-string guitar arrangements of the period this side of the Beatles or the Searchers. And they rock out loud and hard on "The Girl Can't Help It" and "Heebie Jeebies," a pair of Little Richard classics, just to show their harder side; they're not afraid to cover Etta James ("Something's Got a Hold On Me"), either.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" RECORDS (LPs / 12" SINGLES etc). PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" records. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction's end. If you want to bid on more of our auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week's auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week's auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I have no option but to limit 'carried over' transactions to two weeks.
