OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.
Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.
Overseas mail to some countries Italy, Russia, France, in particular has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.
We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.
We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

Original 1968 first pressing vinyl released on the obscure SUNBURST Records, is a little hard rock psych treasure contains a brilliant Howard Leese later of Heart of all bands on lead guitar, capturing the sound of the late 60s, crossing Strawberry Alarm Clock popsike tracks like Have You Been Sleepin and Get Some Beads with harder rockers like the title track Chocolate Moose Written On The Wind With his mighty guitar, Howard Leese has captured a mix of punk garage with flavors sounding like the mighty CHURCHILLS that perfectly make this for a amazingly fun listen...Although California-based Zoo managed to produce only a single album during their short career, it is surprising how fresh and relevant this record still is, some 45 years on.
Formed in 1968 by Murphy Chocolate Moose Carfagna, the band also featured Mike Flicker on drums and Howard Leese on lead guitar both of whom went on to join Heart, Leese as guitarist and Flicker as the band s producer.
Chocolate Moose was released in 1968 on Tower Records famed producer Ed Cobb s Sunburst label Sunburst 7500 and is far more than just a rock album. It has strong garage and psychedelic tendencies, coupled with a smattering of R n B, propel the album with an energetic vitality that is underpinned by Leese s searing guitar.
The Chocolate Moose album is rare with collectors all over seeking, has now become a major collectors item. One listen and it s easy to understand why.
