Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. 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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

X-MC5 GUITARIST FRED "SONIC" SMITH unites with guitarist scott Morgan of the legendary RATIONALS and Gary Rasmussen of the equally legendary "UP" ... performing as the SONIC RENDEZVOUS BAND :::
In less than a decade, Sonic's Rendezvous Band went from one of rock and roll's best kept secrets to one of its best-documented. And for that we should all be eternally grateful.
If you lived outside of earshot of the molten aural glow of their amps in the late-'70s, or simply had not stumbled across a copy of their double A-sided, monstrously great mindfuck of a single, "City Slang" Until the bootleggers got into the act and actually did us a favor), chances are you read more about what you'd heard of this well-credentialed quartet. "Just like the lightning bolt," he says. "Strikes Like Lightning" LP contains GREAT performances with dubious sound, but with that at least it catches the band just as they were in all of their glory! Great songs apart, the strength that some gloss over when reflecting on Sonic Rendezvous Band was the yin-and-yang chemistry between guitarists Fred Smith and Scott Morgan that did not manifest itself in co-writing, but onstage in contrasting vocal styles. Morgan's rich, soulful tones and Smith's gruff drawl in combination actually worked in the band's favor. That's evident from the way these songs are tracked, with Smith and Morgan taking center mic, time about. When the pair drifted apart, the band was diminished.
