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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1969 UK hard Blues Classic ~~ Not To Be Overlooked!
The RARE BRITISH SUPERIOR FIRST PRESS
STEAMHAMMER
Reflection
\ UK (ORANGE) CBS - 63611
SPARE UK COLLECTIBLE ...
Hard to find 1969 BRITISH first printing on the orange CBS label, housed in a great gatefold sleeve ....way superior over the USA & German releases!
STEAMHAMMER's "Reflection" is a GREAT melodic blues boom jammer worthy of similar groovers like 1st Sam Apple Pie, Black Cat Bones, etc
Steamhammer's FIRST album is clearly entrenched in the British Blues Boom along with Ten Years After, Savoy Brown, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Chicken shack, Sam Apple Pie and others. Some guitar solos remind of a Jimi Hendrix influence: the guitar sound is just excellent for the early year of '69. Steve Joliffe plays some excellent flute parts a la Jethro Tull. There are some visceral & typical harmonica parts. The tracks are catchy, and retain melodic and galloping bass, which has a loud bottom sound. There are actually many fine moments along the way... filled with great guitar cookin' interplays and strong songwriting which make this album a great example of electrified UK progressive blues...Try this.. a not to be overlooked.. a classic

Kieran White - vocals, guitar, harmonica

CONDITION: The Cover: is near "EX" (excellent) very fragile UK pressing, the colorful gatefold looks visually clean, has some light unevenness on back cover that is SO light you can't see, but rather can feel, so relatively minor and otherwise excellent shape ... All in all a collectible cover to a very scarce and sought UK '69 first pressing, hard to find.
The Vinyl: all glossy clear and shiny. Rated: "EX" (excellent) and looks very clean all over. So played it carefully and found stunning clarity results = ...grab it! The Orange CBS labels are clean with exception of one side having a couple of small sticker removal stains; otherwise clean and don't see spindle marks ....
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
