In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

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.

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 +21,000 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!

Scandinavia's mighty OLD MAN AND THE SEA LP was but an abbreviated issue of 500. Original pressings command large $ sums up to near 1K (rising...) as a top-flight psych prog artifact ~~ investment valuable ... with such a performance you be the judge listen above!
Buried by the avalanche of global vinyl creativeness in their time, early 70's "OLD MAN AND THE SEA" delivered ear-opening (eye-popping) high energy psych-prog self compositions filled to the brim with dynamic impact gushing-swirling Hammond Organ and ripping searing guitar bursts...the best part, the songs include strong memorable melodies led by great vocals and backed by strong harmonies ... the total outcome is impressive full way through ...this is the '72 first press you've been waiting for, easily a final collection copy, doubt you'll find better !!
The black & silver gatefold cover is as expected 52 years onward, NOTORIOUS for ring-wear and cover wear in general...yet joyously here's the original anyone interested would hope for!! Despite slight signs of careful use from 52 years and only 500 pressed, consider this a top 1972 final collection copy
- OLD MAN AND THE SEA'S first and only 1972 album was released on the Stockholm based Sonet label. However with only 500 copies pressed and pretty much zero publicity the band and the album remained a buried treasure in Danish history until sudden interest in all things 70's progressive reinvigorated in the 1990s.
-
The Baltic Sea named classic MAN AND THE SEA in tale, exhibited a strong connection to the late sixties heavy bluesy psychedelic rock style via killer-rated: ripping-guitar, bass and drums and expressive vocal passages, yet featured relentless-swirls and gushes in their dominate Hammond organ drive... - While considered a progressive rock band, the music often offers a more direct style of early 70s hard rock in the vein of peak-period '72 era Deep Purple impact!!
THE OLD MAN & THE SEA's only album of its existence features seven tracks mostly in exciting/urgent hard/prog/psych-rock range of playing time; the closing track "Going Blind" extending past ten minutes. This track in particular makes comparisons to a more-crazed Jethro Tull similar to Old Man & The Sea's Ole Wedel's vocals coupled with cool flute runs. - "The Mong Song" evokes Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" in how it delivers the riffs and breakdowns.
- Living Dead (7:51)
Princess (6:02)
Jingoism (6:54) - II
Prelude (1:12)
The Monk Song 1 (5:54)
The Monk Song 2 (3:36)
Going Blind (10:31) - This is the apex of what ripping guitar AND organ-driven prog can accomplish.
- CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: EX (excellent) to near M- (!!) astounding find THIS CLEAN - notoriously prone to wear, the striking shark gatefold appears only lightly handled, no such wear or commonly heavy wear visual should one get within sniffing distance to an original = wow! There are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...
- The vinyl: Rated: near M- visually clean,plays fantastic from beginning to end ... clean audio,top level collectible - view photos,
- 1972 guaranteed first print,only 500 made ~ relentless PSYCH PROG
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
