Please keep 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 18,000 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. 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!

USA - UNI RECORDS - 73088

ORIGINAL 1968 first pressing vinyl in GREAT shape (see full details blow)
Comes with the large lyrics / photo insert...and original Uni inner sleeve!
Prominent member of 60's legends, The Buffalo Springfield, Dewey Martin tried to keep the group going, gathering new members calling themselves "NEW BUFFALO" but abruptly disbanded. Soon after he formed a new group "Medicine Ball" -- released their only album, coming 2 years after the last Buffalo Springfield Lp. The 'Dewey Martin & Medicne Ball' album has gotten quite hard to find.
For some strange reason, after Dewey Martin's band New Buffalo (Springfield) got a contract with Atco, he decided to leave the band (which subsequently became "Blue Mountain Eagle") for a solo deal with UNI. That's a shame, because Dewey Martin's amazing voice would have been perfectly suited for an egalitarian band who could provide him with original material.
In a sense, Buffalo Springfield was too talented for its own good, such that Martin could only manage to be heard from sporadically. The Medicine Ball is more or less a Dewey Martin solo album with competent band-mates that are anonymous besides former Buffalo Springfield bass player Bruce Palmer ... no one here comes close to having the songwriting dexterity of a Young, a Stills, or a Furay. That said the album is still good, having a West Coast laid back feel, bit of rural Springfield styled moves, and with highlight brilliance in its lead track, the Martin-penned "Indian Child." The playing is ferocious, and the intensity of Martin's vocal is terrific! "Maybe Baby", is another track that is particularly fine. Both sides of the album is quite listenable, and remains a very interesting acquisition for Buffalo Springfield fans if it can be found.
A news report from February 6, 2009 stated:
Dewey Martin, drummer for the short-lived but long-resonating rock band Buffalo Springfield whose career after the group split never ignited like those of his former band mates Neil Young and Stephen Stills, has died from apparent natural causes. He was 68. Indian Child Right Now Train Silent Song Thru The Land Maybe Baby Recital Palmer B: Yesterday The Devil & Me I Do Believe Race Me On Down Change
CONDITION: The cover: The thick grainy gate-fold cover is M- clean, solid everywhere ...there is a tiny delete drill at bottom right ... no split seams, no bends, no writing and no faded colors ... about as nice as you'll hope to find, 48 years later.
The vinyl: is all glossy clean M- plays very nicely with mint audio. Both UNI labels are clean.
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
