Item Description
RECORD COLLECTOR THE HUMAN INSTINCT Stoned Guitar Original New Zealand LP released on Allied International Air Records in 1970.
Front-laminated flipback sleeve.
One of New Zealand s most popular hard rock/psychedelic bands of the late 1960s and early 70s, the Human Instinct never broke into the international market, despite a couple of concerted attempts to do so in England.
The group evolved from the Four Fours, which had some hits in New Zealand in the mid- 60s, including Moon Blues, the instrumental Theme from an Empty Coffee Lounge, and Go Go.
The last of these was a beat number that made number 12 in New Zealand in 1966, the same year the Four Fours supported the Rolling Stones on their second New Zealand tour.
In August of that year, the Four Fours sailed to England to try and make an entree into the British scene, changing their name to the Human Instinct on the way.
In London, the Human Instinct got to play under numerous star groups as a support act.
After three Mercury singles stiffed in 1967, they recorded for Deram under producer Mike Hurst and made a couple more unsuccessful 45s.
Some of these -- the most renowned is Day in My Mind s Mind -- have surfaced on specialist British 60s rock reissues, and show a psychedelic-sprinkled band with accomplished vocal harmonies.
Drummer Maurice Greer, it has been written, declined a chance to play in Jeff Beck s group before the Human Instinct returned to New Zealand.
Upon the band s return, their personnel and sound were radically reorganized, with only Greer left from the U.K.
line-up.
The most significant addition was guitarist Billy Tekahika, who played under the name Billy TK.
Partly because of Tekahika, the Human Instinct embarked in a far heavier psychedelic direction, influenced heavily by the wah-wah and distortion of Jimi Hendrix.
Some of the material on their early- 70s albums on Pye was supplied by non-member Jesse Harper, whose tape allegedly impressed Hendrix himself.
The later incarnation of the Human Instinct did go to England again to try and widen their audience, and again failed.

HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive.
Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX 6 LPs / 12 vinyls.
Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.
Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually --------------------------------------------------- COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion: While I am happy to combine for example one or two 7 singles into one package with 12 records, sometimes it simply isn t practical like if you want me to combine one 12 record with three or more 7 records .
I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely.
Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

--------------------------------------------------- PAYMENT I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction s end.

I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week s auctions.
However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week s auctions.
I am sorry to have to introduce these measures I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment.
Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit carried over transactions to two weeks.
