Beat Of The Earth: The Electronic Hole 1970, USA/Radish AS0002. Disc is M-, cover is M- in shrink wrap. A flawless example of Beat Of The Earth s rarer second LP Fewer than 200 copies were pressed in January 1970 you won t find one in the wild as they were never sold or distributed, just hidden away forever by the reluctant creator. This LP is totally different than their debut it has short, skeletal garage psych tracks that sound to me like Stone Harbour meeting up with The Velvet Underground. There s a wiggy cover of Zappa s Trouble Comin Every Day , the rest originals. Some sitar, some wicked distorted guitar, in all a very underground vibe. It couldn t have sold at the time, but if you know the story, it wasn t supposed to. You want private? This is the definition of private Perfect original copy, direct from the artist.

Everything I offer is guaranteed. I try to note any flaws with the disc and the cover so that there are no surprises when the box arrives. Be sure to view my other iamthewitch auctions as I have more stuff like this up for grabs this week.
I ship all records in strong cardboard mailers with cardboard flats added to increase stability. The discs are always removed from the jackets to prevent seam splits, and all albums are dressed in plastic sleeves for travel. Please be aware that these supplies are expensive to purchase and represent a small portion of my shipping charges. I pack/ship one day per week, usually it is Friday.
