ATTENTION TO ALL EBAYERS--PLEASE TAKE NOTE: After much consideration and frustration on my part to not serve you better by getting more listings up regularly each week I will be implementing a new policy as of September 9, 2012. Rest assured that this will in no way affect my overall standards of service, nor the quality of what I offer. Basically I will be dropping some of the details below in what has been my routinely elaborate individual item descriptions, IF the items are not deemed by me to be bigger ticket potential ie. 100.00 LPs. With up to 12 pictures much of this information should be self evident anyway by carefully viewing all of them. For top rarities I offer that should sell for multiple hundreds or even 1,000.00 even in the currently weak worldwide economy , I will continue to provide the same more elaborate descriptions that I always have, both supplemented and verified with up to 12 photos each that are always of the exact items I m offering for sale as anyone who has purchased from me before has experienced. If you have any specific questions about any item that s not self evident, then feel free to contact me and I will respond ASAP. Needless to say my feedback speaks for itself For those of you who have left it which is the vast majority of you , I appreciate your continued support of myself as primarily a seller, as well as the overall Ebay community at large to continue making it a better and more reliable experience for everyone. For the few that continue to not leave feedback despite multiple purchases from me in the past I will no longer be leaving feedback in advance for you as I ve continued to do for everyone before including all brand new customers. Naturally if anyone s dis-satisfied for some reason I want to know about it so I can potentially make it right if at all possible.
Welcome Back Rare Vinyl Fans Fiends Alike.
HERE you will often FIND offered BETTER CONDITION RECORDS than many other
visually graded only sources offer, WHICH ARE FREQUENTLY TOP COPIES VIRTUALLY new or LIKE-NEW
and unplayed or played very few times, AND/OR THE BEST COPIES POSSIBLE of many choice records.
Purchased: USED. Superb sole release by this excellent melodic jamming jazzy progressive guitars/keyboards/winds quartet. It s really hard to believe that this band didn t make at least 1 more LP However some of them contributed to other fine LPs by Paul Brett etc. Yet more always uncompromising experimental improvisational recordings by this/these fine progressive/psychedelic rock zone troopers. Once again this player/these players demonstrate a unique affinity and collective mindset for producing such telepathic improvisation. It doesn t always work well but when it does like here it s absolutely glorious Worth the price of admission for those who are experimentally inclined and not uptight or inclined to become prejudicially divided as all of us need to be unified worldwide to stave off the stifling New World Order and their tyrannical diabolical aspirations to enslave us all . Beware and please don t be too square Cheers for the UK Brexit vote to leave the European Union
Cover Condition: EX- gate-fold with surprisingly NO surface wear or ring-wear although plenty of surface smudging from finger handling which is common for any flat black cover . There is significant edge some corner rub-off/wear. Inner gate-fold is gorgeous NM.
Inner Sleeve: Original white paper sleeve? replaced with a sheer plastic lined poly-bag labeled Record Rescue courtesy of an old contact in Denver who cleaned many records for me on a Keith Monks machine to protect the pristine vinyl.
Record Condition: Looks EX - with relatively limited hairlines, some sleeve wear including a little mottled section on part of track A1 which does nothing to the audio fidelity actually plays Archive Stone Mint after I just cleaned it on a VPI HW-17 No upgrade realistically required or desired unless you want one that looks Mint also Impossible to improve upon for fidelity though because this copy does play virtually flawlessly I found out when I recorded it to a cdr on January 10th, 2016 along with Marsupilami which was/is a record I m much more familiar with musically Update: In reviewing my cdr today on 1/16/16 to notate the track times for it I did notice a very brief relatively light sounding tick right near the beginning of track B3 in the vocal segment which sounds for about 6-8 revolutions just before the music kicks in loudly. I played this at most 3-4 times over close to 4 decades FYI I hadn t played it for well over a decade since I moved from WPB to Lakemont. This is excellent music here featured in an intimate musical setting providing some cosmic sounds that can send one into the stratosphere if they re ready, willing and able So now it s your move
Label Condition: A M with no spindle marks, whereas B EX with 3 stray spindle marks including one long one that can be seen well on 1 of the matrix photos.
Matrix s: see photos/on request.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING INTEREST AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING
INVOICES: It is not my policy to send out invoices unless or until requested. This is because I don t want to rush people to pay in case they re wanting to potentially win another item or items and take full advantage of my combined shipping offer. I can t predict what else someone might want to bid on and I don t necessarily know from one week to the next what I m going to list for sale from my collection. However if you don t want to wait then feel free to pay for your item s won at any time. All information is in my listings for the proper shipping costs depending upon where you are located. If you re not sure then please e-mail me for confirmation and I will gladly send you an invoice. Please do not abuse my grace period for paying within 2 weeks or just let me know if you re having a problem so we can work it out. I m friendly and understanding and THANK-YOU FOR BEING CONSIDERATE However, I reserve the right to either re-list any item or offer it to the runner up bidder if you don t pay for it within the allotted time period and play by the rules. If that happens then I will not allow you to bid in future auctions of mine.
SHIPPING HANDLING RATES: Please note that as of today 26th February 2012, I ve lowered the price of additional single LPs for media mail for U.S. customers to 1.50 instead of 2.00 for up to 6 albums total, per my attempts to keep it closer to actual costs of mailing. Remember that gate-folds usually weigh more so I ve tried to establish a medium based on that.
RATES UPDATE-as of June 2013: Since the January 27th U.S. postal rates increases some foreign buyers have automatically been sending me 24.15 in checkout despite my posted 19.00 rate which I thank you all for as that s frequently been my exact cost to ship one LP double boxed. However when I ve used 2 boxes recently a regular size/weight box I use for all domestic shipping packed like it s ready to ship by itself inserted with bubble wrap taped surrounding it within a larger much heavier cardboard outer box it s actually been costing me 26.00 more often than 24.15 regardless of gate-fold or not , thus my additions to the rates. Please remember again that I m paying for all of my packing materials which are factored in accordingly as already noted below. It s your call
1.Continental U.S.A.-1 LP is 10.40 for Priority 1.25 each additional LP OR 4.00 for Media mail additional single LPs are 1.50 each up to 6 total. More than 6 may require an adjustment.
2.Alaska, Hawaii Canada are 13.00 for 1st LP Airmail and 5.00 for each additional single album up to 5 total.
3.Mexico South America are 15.00 for 1st LP Airmail and 4.00 for each additional up to 5 total.
4.Europe is 19.00 OR 27.00 IF record sells for 100.00-150.00 or more AND BUYER OPTS FOR DOUBLE BOX PACKING including outer heavy cardboard over-sized box for 1st LP Airmail and 5.00 for each additional up to 5 total.
5.Japan, Asia, Australia New Zealand, Korea, Russia and United Kingdom are 19.00 OR 27.00 see above for 1st LP Airmail and 5.00 for each additional up to 5 total.
6.Africa and Middle East are 20.00 OR 28.00 see above for 1st LP Airmail and 5.00 for each additional up to 5 total.
ATTENTION FOR ALL FOREIGN BUYERS: For a few international buyers lately who have purchased 6 or more LPs for combined shipping the above rates I list have been inadequate to cover my shipping costs because more than 4 additional LPs can push the weight to over 4 pounds into a higher shipping cost category. So for now please ask for a shipping quote if you re buying more than 4-5 LPs. Rest assured that as always I will strive to offer all customers the best rates possible to save them money and be as close to the actual shipping costs for their item s as possible within reason. Please understand that LPS, their covers gate-fold or non-gate-fold , boxes and packing materials utilized can vary somewhat in their respective weights so with all of my posted rates I try and set averages that are appropriate to generally cover my costs and be close to yours also. Thanks once again for your understanding in my efforts to serve you all to the best of my ability.
PLEASE NOTE: Rest assured that I only charge to basically cover my costs and all of my shipping supplies and handling time to pack are factored in included already with no additional charges added on to pad the actual sales prices. I strive to satisfy and attain your 100 satisfaction as well as retain my 100 feedback rating

MY PRESERVATION POLICY on many records that I revered was simple and I share it with you now so that you understand why you take virtually no risk buying from me providing the album was bought new and not used originally. When I d buy a new album and it was something I liked a lot and still available most of my new albums were purchased in the early-mid 1970 s I d initially play it between 15-25 times to become familiar with it and then sell it to a friend as a still EX well preserved nice copy. Adding outer inner plastic sleeves was standard procedure additionally limiting cover wear and/or hairline paper sleeve marks. Then I d buy another new copy and in some cases if a particular favorite then yet another, meaning that I only played the 2nd copy now my 1st 5-10 times and the 3rd now my 2nd if I kept 2 once or twice, always initially taping or now in more recent years currently burning to disc 1 copy within the first couple of plays thus significantly limiting play to this day on most of my lps. I did/do this with many single copy rarities as well so most play was/is on tapes or cd-rs. I bought a lot of CDs of favorite things also which further helped preserve my vinyl and limit play of much of it. Sometimes I also acquired rare British and European vinyl which I never saw imported in stores and sold new in the United States or Canada from contacts I established through mail correspondence during the 1970 s. I developed contacts in England, France, Germany, Holland Norway. Be aware that the MAJORITY of albums or occasionally 45 s that I list ARE FREQUENTLY my ONLY COPIES so bid accordingly as you ll not likely see most of them listed by me again.
SO, MOST OF MY ALBUMS ORIGINALLY BOUGHT NEW, STILL ACCURATELY APPEAR VIRTUALLY NEW AND UNPLAYED, AND MOST WERE HONESTLY PLAYED NO MORE THAN 5-10 TIMES AND OFTEN ONLY TWICE OR THRICE AND ARE STILL NEAR MINT WHY TAKE THE RISK HASSLE WITH RETURNS EVEN IF THEY RE ACCEPTED.
