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 +22,000 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!

A highly rated progressive crew who pay an adventurous mix led by the great vocals of Linda Hoyle
AFFINITY was a short-lived band that released one album and one single in 1970 and then split up. They were a highly regarded band and looked upon with much promise as the one of the earliest inventive underground bands of the time to play progressive jazz-rock. With an effective blends of folk, jazz, soul, blues, and rudiments of modern-day psychedelia and progressive rock with lots of nice Hammond organ, it simply was not fair to put them into any one classification of music. With the powerful vocals of Linda Hoyle leading the way, it looked as though the band had quite a future ahead of them. It was not in the cards unfortunately. What they left for us was a superb achievement by any musical standards, and that includes the most important factors such as sound, production, and musicianship. The original LP renders a gorgeous sound and highlights Ms. Hoyles' excellent vocals.
Formed from the ashes of forgotten sixties act Ice, the quintet was fronted by the powerful and ranging vocals of Linda Hoyle, who runs the gamut between from heavy rock (“Three Sisters”) to the smooth 'n' cool lounge grooves of “Cocoanut Grove” to an early version of a peppy girl-band sounding “Eli's Coming”. Her voice suits the music very well throughout, although the one place it is nearly absent she isn’t necessarily missed, on the clearly improvised take on “All Along the Watchtower” -- the albums real surprise, running for over 11 minutes and stands as one of the very best versions out there, and that (almost) includes Jimi HENDRIX's classic version.
This is very progressive music for its day; in fact, logic dictates that it was more than likely considered a little on the extreme side in 1970. The original LP renders a gorgeous sound and highlights Ms. Hoyles' excellent vocals.
