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!

Original 1972 first press by the mighty blues/hardrock sound of Navasota who will, forevermore, come rootin' round your door
.......................................................................................................
original black inner sleeve included:::
The year was 1969 and hard-rock with blues edges had taken the country by storm, and five lads from Southheast Texas had their own vision of how to create this sound. Steve Long (guitar), Ray Pawlik (guitar), Dicky Sony (vocals), Lindsey Minter (drums), and Paul Minter (bass) formed the band Navasota!
By 1972, Navasota finally caught on with major label ABC Dunhill Records. The band hot the road to Los Angeles to record their only album Rootin´. The album was produced by Gary Katz, and Donald Fagen and Walter Becker of Steely Dan fame. In spite of the Steely Dan connection, the hard bluesrock sound has nothing in common with the commercial sound of Steely Dan. there’s precious little biographical info to be found about this outfit. “Rootin'” is best described as bluesy-rock Sony’s growling vocals with group penned original tracks such as ‘Western Boots’, ‘$2 Bill’ and ‘That’s How It Is (Playin’ In a Rock & Roll Band)’ are tight with a catchy sound along the lines of what Lynyrd Skynyrd were doing on their first couple of albums and the double guitars line-up. As a result Navasota toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd, but as obscurities go, they didn't sell enough albums to please ABC/Dunhill and were dropped by the label. Still the group soldiered on into the late '70s backed by their loyal Texas fan base. The album is little seen and copies without a lot of shelf wear like this copy are even that much harder to locate, hence the reason we haven't listed in the past 10+ years...
- Western Boots
- $2 Bill
- Ballad of a Young Man
- That's How it is (Playin' in a Rock & Roll Band)
- Canyon Ladies
- Ole Slew-foot
- I'm Leavin'
- P. Farm
- Heat of the Night
- Spring Creek .....
CONDITION: The cover: Rated: "EX" (excellent) to M- with PROMO sticker on front cover. Overall would be fairly difficult to find a better copy; the black cover after 47 years shows normally much wear. This copy is an exception where there is no per-se wear showing. Back cover is M- There are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ... Overall about as good as it gets for this album.
The vinyl: Rated: M- TOP COPY... looks and plays clean... both WHITE PROMO Dunhill labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
