PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. Thank you.
Before noting our shipping information below, please take a moment to read the important news concerning the interference of our business of providing top rate collectibles and service to our long term and future customers:
FEEDBACK NOTICE...
For all practical purposes we consider ourselves to have a 100% feedback rating - and hopefully so should you, despite the 9 negative feedbacks we disastrously just received.
We have had the unfortunate experience of a notorious mean spirited (etc.) buyer who purchased many of our weekly listings, when he suddenly became manipulative in handing out unwanted advice which moved into relentless harassment - including threats to issue negative feedback unless demands were met, as in to send him upgrades for records he purchased, exclaiming unreasonable nonexistent issues, as well as his amateur understanding of pressings and labels. In his weekly bidding participation - he keeps the seller paralyzed over his threats of negative feedback "if something is not met in his demands."
We came to a point where this buyer became so abusive using personal attacks with foul language and insults, we declared, never again. He was blocked from our listings. He went berserk, writing and phoning stating 80 percent of our listings met his expectations -- untrue, in reality he complained about everything unless it was upgraded - at our expense -- then attempted to claw his way back to us to become unblocked. When we refused to give in, he followed in a tirade issuing us 9 negative feedbacks (the only negatives on our seller's profile) declaring on each negative potential damaging untrue statements about our merchandise and warning all buyers to stay away. We have a have a distinguished reputation with eBay Records for the past 20 years -he is the only ONE who has made such false claims. Some of the negatives given were absolutely for MINT records, others were SEALED and never opened! This is 100% obvious blatant retaliation for his being blocked, but it didn't end there.
Horrible e-mails have followed after he issued the negatives, ridiculing and gloating that he "got away with damaging our reputation on eBay", and that his goal is to continue to contact eBay and twist their arm in an attempt to get us banned from the site. He claimed he has contacts all over the U.S. and they would continue his dirty work for him. Sure enough, we have confirmed information that a friend of his bid on one of our records to be handed over to the blocked bidder. Because of that, we are anticipating more damaging negative remarks. Now there is an ongoing conspiracy concocted by this buyer in effort to undermine us at all costs by using any measure - all because we had no choice but to exercise our seller's right to block him.
Some other sellers on eBay have contacted us stating the same issues occurred with them by this same bad buyer. Others have contacted asking for his IDs so they can avoid having to sell to this obvious problem buyer. We were noted that he had 4 different alias ID's, with two of them being suspended. Why he is allowed to keep his other two active is a total mystery. In the words of one of the bad buyer's victims "I hope you guys can get him removed off eBay." We are in the process of working with upper management in eBay to rid this parasite from causing further discord in an effort to protect ourselves and the entire eBay community.
In the meantime, our plan is to continue our eBay ID and weekly music service listings designed for all the many great collectors who have supported our reputable hard work for the past 20 years on ebay. We truly appreciate your continued support, and on our part will continue to serve you and not allow this unscrupulous individual interfere with our love of supplying the world with the glue that holds us together....music.

UK - (UNBOXED DECCA) - FFSS - SKL 4945
RARE & clean ...Original 1968 BRITISH first pressing on the highly collected UNBOXED DECCA label in laminatd gatefold cover...
One of the greatest blues rock albums to come out of late '60s England... if you missed it, here is a great way to re-discover or get into the meat of the magic ...
What is perhaps the mightiest BLUESBREAKERS album, filled with powerhouse moving numbers and great, great guitar play by 19 year old Mick Taylor... A great solid album that's a dark horse candidate for Mayall & The Bluesbreakers best work. killer arrangements and percussion with savage guitar from Mick Taylor; A sense of sadness seeps deep beneath the blues. Very adult music. This 1968 Bluesbreakers’ album with latter day Rolling Stone Mick Taylor on guitar is one of his best, an unheralded gem. From the psychedelic sleeve on this is reading of the blues with the Bare Wires Suite sounding like The Bluesbreakers interpretation of the Beatles 'Sgt Pepper' -- Mick Taylor’s guitar throughout cutting up heavy next to the stabbing reeds of Dick Heckstall-Smith’s adding to the overall charm of this strange but truly alluring album. Bare Wires is a trippy, mesmerizing album that is just astounding and at times scary. The sheer level of musicianship involved is evident all over. John Hiesman is a wicked evil drum wizard with a killer groove and fantastic chops. Mick Taylor, already proven on their "Crusade" album takes things a step or three further and really delivers the goods on this album. The rest of the band is superb, probably Mayalls best lineup ever right here -- and certainly the most ambitious album by John Mayall. The first track is a 22 minute suite where he lays out his personal trials and tribulations, from masterbating to problems with girl friends - Mayall makes it work. The music that accompanies this piece is fantastic. It is lively, smokey rock oriented blues. There are great solos throughout. The tracks are memorable with catchy melodies...As mentioned above, a great great album that delivers more than a few surprises with each spin...
