Super obscure and rare album by Beatles-obsessed duo Yellowstone and Voice, who were born and raised in London but had chart success in Australia and an album released in Holland.  Call them “worldly” then.  Anyone into the early Seventies extension of the so-called Lennon/McCartney sound – and by that I mean Badfinger, the Raspberries and Todd Rundgren, not to mention more obscure acts like Peru’s We All Together and Germany’s Key – will LOVE this record.  “Lonely Man” is a super catchy dead ringer for We All Together, a bouncy bit of McCartneyesque popsike a la “Honey Pie,” “All Together Now” or “Lovely Rita.”  That they had the cajones to name one of their songs “Lady Rita” proves that this came out after the Fab Four broke up – ironically, that song sounds more like the Moody Blues or Bee Gees circa Odessa, with its big dramatic harpsichord-and-strings sound.  Put the needle down anywhere on this record and the sounds of England circa 1967-1968 come flooding out, from the beautiful gentle pop bliss dreampsych of “Come On Out” to the Carnaby Street bounce of “Goodbye.”  It’s all here.  And it’s coming to a country near you.

The less exciting stuff

Media mail shipping with delivery confirmation starts at $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping.  I accept payments through Paypal. 

I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it.  Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves.  But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on. 

SHIPPING AND PACKAGING

Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package.  I hate that too.  So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s.  And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums).  I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job.  But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts. 

 For more security and international tracking, you may request GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL - but bear in mind the cost of this service is upwards of $30.  For expensive items, however, it may be well worth it.  Unfortunately, there isn’t a cost-effective way of tracking parcels to foreign countries yet, and shipping times vary depending on your country’s postal system.   Italy in particular seems to be really bad at delivering packages quickly, or delivering packages at all, now that you mention it.  I will always email you when your package ships, but once it’s on its way, please don’t ask me when it will arrive because I don’t know.  If the world’s postal systems can ever agree on a universal tracking system that’s affordable, I’ll be the first to use it.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…

I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return.  All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction.  Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong.  You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed.  If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
