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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AMERICAN WOMAN was a huge hit, and it demonstrated the Guess Who now had a hard-edge approach. The music was basically the band's rant about American culture and attitudes influencing Canadian culture and attitude and how they didn't appreciate that. The song is full of great guitar riffs and nice fuzz lead guitars, with aggressive vocals from Burton Cummings. For some odd reason, the Guess Who re-recorded Canned Wheat's "No Time and included it on this album. This is a different version of the smash hit. "New Mother Nature/No Sugar Tonight" was yet another hit on this album, which features some great vocal arrangements and nice use of guitar & keys -- basically a medley of two songs segued together, and the combined both songs together at the end. As for the non-hits? Well they're just as great, if not even better, showing that The Guess Who was capable of holding their own on album, just as they did delivering radio hits. I am rather baffled why "Talisman" is a very nice acoustic number, strangely with a strong prog rock feel, similar to King Crimson's work, very much like the grand "Epitaph" from In the Court of the Crimson King with acoustic guitar sans the Mellotron. Elsewhere, "969 The Oldest Man" is a rather bluesy instrumental piece, but unexpectedly the piece features a complex instrumentation passage with nice flutework. Then both "When Friends Fall Out", "8:15" and "Perfect Stranger" are all great non-hits, especially the use of acoustic guitar on "Perfect Stranger". "Humpty's Blues" is a 6minute double-header; the band exploring the blues with an example of veering far away from more than an AM radio hits band -- when suddenly they rip into an Epilogue of the great "American Woman" that began set.
