Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. 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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

EXPLOSIVE 1972 AUTHENTIC U.K. ORIGINAL
THE PINK FAIRIES
What A Bunch Of Sweeties
\ UK - POLYDOR - 2383132
RARE and Cool ...Original BRITISH 1972 first pressing in gatefold cover of the mighty PINK FAIRIES with their hard hitting 2nd album...a rough and tumble affair...pulverizing heavy psych gems across both sides....in 1972 at a time when the band's own reputation as hippie hell-raisers was already being eclipsed by the soaring Hawkwind, What a Bunch of Sweeties found the band realigning themselves with the twisted Americana rock sensibilities of the latter-day MC5, high on noise and kickin' out the jams...Indeed, a nine-minute fuzz-psych assault on the Ventures' "Walk Don't Run" rates among the finest Pink Fairies recordings of all time...After an awesome acid-fuzzed heaviness of their debut album Never Never Land, the Pink Fairies ditched the acid-addled style of tracks like "Heavenly Man", instead going for lengthier, riff mad jams. and ...Sweeties reveals itself as a great LP in it's own right. Other stand-out tracks besides 'Walk Don't Run' are "I Went Up, I Went Down" "Pigs Of Uranus" ...and 'Portobello Shuffle' -- containing probably the best heavy-psych guitar you're likely to hear, appearing towards the end of the song and the notes that spill out of Paul Rudolph's guitar and just soar with the grace of an eagle; as if paying homage to the heavy psych gods above. Picture a bellbottomed madman standing in front of a stack of towering Marshall tube amps being taken over by his own playing and you have this song. Really no weak cuts here, and primarily recommended to all fans of jam heavy sludge, stoner, psych, punk and space rock.
