in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide
excellent service as is represented by our well over 22,000 positive feedback.
We use an ultrasonic KLAudio
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.

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.

UK 1970 TWISTED COMPLEX
PROG PSYCH JAZZ BLUES CRUISE

SPAIN - ZEL records - 4015
TOP COPY ALL MINTY CLEAN,
rare long-time exact 2nd print
- no longer seen or available -
the first reprint from many years back
Blending elements of psychedelia, Hammond organ-baked blues, complex-tinged rock, proggy time-changes and lysergic-tripped rock, Raw Material is indeed a fascinating set, featuring an eclectic brew of styles that somehow manage to hang convincingly together.
The album also has a strange, atmospheric tone that lends a seriously cosmic ambience to proceedings, especially on the mystic opener Time Illusion which brings to mind both Meddle -era Pink Floyd and early King Crimson during their more aggressive moments. Add the pacey, blues- inflected raunch of Fighting Cock , the sparse, dreamy acid-poprock of Future Recollections and Traveller Man s flute-doused fusion and you have a genuinely exciting album that constantly surprises with it s stylistic invention and gutsy playing.
Nowadays, of course, original vinyl copies fetch a small fortune on the collector s circuit, and for once the reputation of the record is matched by the music it contains. Raw Material may have been strangely ignored in their own time, yet life has a funny way of turning the tables on almost everyone and everything, and thankfully the raw deal dealt to Raw Material has finally come full circle.
An excellent slice of complex cosmic prog, comes as a very highly recommended collection addition indeed
