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.

SCARCE ...Original 1973 first pressing vinyl ...the 3rd Kraftwerk album (after Lp's Volume One and Volume Two).

This is a stoner's dream-album. Swirling sounds met with unfettered hurly-burly. The opening two tracks draw you into a trance, and you my find yourself in a state of catatonia, depending on how many cones you have had. This is most definitely the cream of Kraftwerk' early 70's work. The atmosphere created is one of a surreal, serene dreamscape. Yeah, you'll have another cone now with all of the Pioneering electronic mind altering sizzling synths sweeps. "Ralf & Florian" is more spontaneous and loose in nature than the cosmic album "Musik Von Harmonia" by Cluster & Neu, but also shows similarities with this aforementioned groundbreaker -- for example the rhythm-box in "Tanzmusik" or the calm, cosmic atmosphere in "Heimatklänge". At times the electronics seem to stumble and fall and it almost felt that R+F wanted to create a rather clumsy or amateuristic sound on purpose. And it works: very effective, truly trippy. "Ananas Symphonie" starts interesting being repeated vocoder-spoken, and the Hawaiian guitar and the sound of the waves tend to send you 'out there' into the calm sea breeze.

CONDITION: The Cover: stiff, colorful and strong all over. "EX" (excellent) CLEAN with only a very small delete or promo circle at top right (can't see it very well on front) ... has no split seams, no writing...just a clean and collectible nice.

The Vinyl: all glossy clean on both sides VG+(+) ...few scuffs, predominately fine, plays excellent heard a bit of quiet area low/passive surface, but overall enjoyable would be the bottom-line  ...both Vertigo spaceship labels are clean

      A cool addition to anyone's music library!
