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!

SCARCE 1969 HARD PROGRESSIVE Original !
..
~ BRAINBOX ~
USA - (lime green) CAPITOL RECORDS - ST 596TOL -
SCARCE ...ORIGINAL 1969 first pressing in clean condition (see below) ...on the old lime green Capitol label that was a limited edition label...for instance this Brainbox album was only pressed one time...that's it.
B R A I N B O X features a predominately hard rock sound on a number of blues style cuts A fairly strong effort by this late 60's Dutch band which featured Jan Akkerman and Cyril Havermans who were better known as members of Focus. Brainbox is nothing like either one of those bands and is a hard rock band similar to Golden Earring of that era. Vocalist Kaz Lux sounds like a cross between Mountain's Leslie West and Deep Purple's Ian Gillian which if you were ever curious to hear how those bands would do "Scarborough Fair" or "Summertime", Brainbox gives you a pretty good representation. The best tracks on this album would be the powerful opener "Dark Rose" which features classic Jan Akkerman guitar work and the epic side long 17 minute "SEA OF DELIGHT" with the early progressive twists and turns. Overall an interesting find for rock history buffs.
