Hello record collectors and vinyl junkies, here we go again with another batch of  LP's this week in an effort to raise money that I can throw into my bottomless money pit, the restoration of a 1958 Edsel.

Anyway, let's continue with this one by Fifty Foot Hose Cauldron released by Mercury/Limelight Records in December 1967. (LS 86062 Stereophonic) Original pink and green label with black print. LP comes with its original paper inner sleeve with triangular song lyrics on one side.   

Fifty Foot Hose was: Cork Marcheschi Audio Generator, Echolette, Squeaky Box, Siren, Ringing Oscillator, Circuits, Microphone, Thereman, Speakers / David Blossom Guitar, Electronically Prepared Guitar, Piano Electronically Prepared, Thumb Piano / Larry Evans Guitar & Vocals / Kim Kimsey Drums & Percussion / Terry Hansley Electric Bass / Nancy Blossom Vocal Solos & Vocals.

FFH was one of the most experimental bands to come out of the San Francisco psychedelic scene during the 1960's. The band successfully combined the sounds of psyche rock with electronic instruments and avant-garde compositional themes and ideas. 

This LP contains the following tracks: 

1. After All
2. If Not This Time
3. Opus 777
4. The Things That Concern You
5. Opus 11
6. Red The Sign Post
7. For Paula
8. Rose
9. Fantasy
10. God Bless The Child
11. Cauldron

Both LP and cover are in very good condition. The LP has a few VERY scuff marks that are visible under a spotlight but do not effect play. Cover has no seam splits, cut out marks, writing, rips, tears or other flaws. This is a very nice copy that should please virtually any collector - you will not be disappointed.

I grade on a stricter scale than Goldmine! (or at least the watered down version that seems to exist here on eBay). I'll take the time to describe any flaws rather that give a letter grade that means something different to seemingly every record seller and buyer... I've received too many LPs graded by sellers VG++ or NM that were pretty beat up, and I'm willing to bet it's happened to your too.

Sorry if the cover looks washed out in the photo below…this is caused by a reflection from the camera flash… the colors are brighter and bolder in person.

If this LP caught your eye, please check my other auctions over the next few months for several other albums including space age pop, lounge, bachelor pad, exotica and weird & strange recordings and more. I will combine shipping on multiple purchases.

Please feel free to e-mail with any questions, but kep in mind that unless there is a "Buy It Now" price listed above I do not respond to any offers to end an auction early...Thanks for your understanding!

The Fine Print:

Payment is due within seven days after end of auction. I accept payment by Paypal - If you do not have a Paypal account, please e-mail me BEFORE bidding to inquire about alternate payment methods.

Due to overwhelming requests, I generally ship domestic packages by Media Mail. However, please keep in mind that while media mail is the cheapest shipping method it is also the slowest. Media mail can take up to one month or MORE to arrive. Media Mail shipping within the United States is $3.50 including mandatory Delivery Conformation.

I do combine shipping for multiple purchases. The $3.50 covers between one and two albums. Additional albums (three and up) are an additional 25 cents each. (Please wait for an invoice from me, as the Paypal system does not calculate the combined shipping)

If you need your purchase quicker than Media Mail will provide, please e-mail me and I'll let you know the Priority Mail shipping cost. Depending on your location Priority rates range between $5.20 to $8.75 for one LP.

I do not charge any "shipping" or "handling" fees... you pay what the post office charges me.  I usually ship within 48 hours of receiving Payment.

Overseas shipping is by Air Mail Only (surface mail is not available!) Shipping for one LP to Canada is $7.00, Mexico is $11.00. Anywhere else in the world is $14.00. Overseas shipping is by regular air mail and can take anywhere from one and four weeks to arrive.  I do combine shipping for overseas purchases also - I will send an invoice with the shipping amount if purchasing more than one LP.

Sorry, I no longer ship to Italy or the Russian Federation due to the high number of "LOST" packages.

All records are mailed in cardboard record mailers with cardboard inserts to prevent damage. LP will be removed from cover for shipping to prevent seam splits while in transit.

I do offer a money back guarantee if you are not pleased with your purchase. I don’t do this for a living, it is supposed to be a fun hobby, so if there is a problem at any point during the transaction, please let me know so we can work out a solution!  

Thanks for looking and good luck!
