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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

1970 ORIGINAL PRESS!
PLAYS MINT CLEAN!!!
Rare, highly rated underground psych-prog phantasia when talking the best ever gems from the breaking of 1970... no wonder the UK "Nepentha" label pressing sells for a small fortune ($600+++) ... this is the equally great (M- audio) Canadian issue that delivers in the same as the Dutch '70 issue ... This was a Dutch band, though they had tendencies to sound British and even Americans - lost treasure group as that would be...
The very first EARTH and FIRE LP is among the TOP valued albums of the progressive rock '70s. While this is a very scarce & desired North American pressing (Canada), the UK Nepentha issue is valued anywhere from $600 - $1500 currently.
A captivating album from the start, #1 LP EARTH and FIRE in hard rock/psych progressive mode is filled with organs, flutes and heavy electric and acoustic guitars. That being stated, the best attribute would be the fantastic vocals of Jerney Kaagman along with the 'killer-rated' song writing skills.
EARTH and FIRE did not fully reached their "progressive" phase yet, but, wow, are these songs catchy!!! Although the band got a little help from George Kooymans (Golden Earring), who penned their first single ("Seasons"), the bands songwriting ability is already fully-formed. Each song is dynamic, filled with hooks, as they keep the song structures interesting, which attests to the HIGH $$$ value.
Jerney Kaagman (vocals) comes across like a girl-next-door version of Grace Slick, displaying both a toughness and a fun quality that's really charming. The highlights, "Wild and Exciting", "Seasons", and "Ruby is the One" are everything hard rock tracks from 1970 should be. An exhilarating LP - when it ends, you may often go back to the beginning and play it again.
