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.

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.

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.

Hands down one of the elite early '70s (1973) USA underground hard-rock bands. This is a conceptual of epic proportions...
completely solid heavy psych with the 'right sound'
Was only a limited pressing to begin with - not many copies produced and all = survivors are safely tucked away in private collections around the globe.
The power-guitar trio THUNDERPUSSY is up there, highly rated among other gems of the rearly '70s ala Sorcery's "Sinister Soldiers" and "No Rest For The Wicked" by Truth & Janey...
This isn't a mindless headbanging style of bone-head stoner rock, but rather completely different HEAVY progressive. The Thunderpussy plays as a smooth running unit, finesse and infectious melodies are in the center core flamed by power guitar riffing/dirty distortion leads. Long been one of our favorites of the style, the catchy hooks within the self written songs are highly memorable and timeless.
So this is the work of the 1973 hard rock/progressive trio from Quincy in South Illinois...
Mostly hard-rockin' progressive way above the average heavy rock, these cats raise the bar when talking quality sound and moves... Production is surprisingly excellent, professionally mixed without sounding in the least commercial - in fact there was no hope for any commercial potential here.
The complex power trio performs song titles that are utterly battling, with each of the six tracks or "documents" ("Document Of Enigma", "Document Of Latent Summation", etc.) endowed with TWO titles; one for the "song" part of the song ("Scream Inside" and "Observation Of Us" being a couple.) A total of 18 titles for 6 songs.
If that sounds like madness - and don't even ask about the lyrics.
While the whole of the sum is not at all contrived but rather quite experimental at times, the concept album (apparently about a poem) contains off-kilter tunes within each other -- having seemingly three parts to every song, most of which travel beyond the five-minute mark, progressive heavy-rock heaven! Performances throughout are varied, from beautifully performed heavy rockers to suites of songs with deep, poetic musings on the nature of good vs. evil, class inequalities and other subjects. These songs weave fragile guitar interludes with classic guitar heaviness, traditional prog-rock timed craziness and general higher elevation musical themes. Intensely and enthusiastically performed! Highly Recommended !

Documents Of Captivity
- CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: M- solid, this is an unbelievable hard cover to find without wear, wasn't made to last, obviously, but here TOP survivor, not to be seen so clean again ... Consider this about a top copy when original pressings of this 50+ years ago legend are likely to be ring wear worn - the black cover is all but impossible to find clean like this! There are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ... VERY collection worthy ...
-
- The vinyl: Rated: M- dyna-flex production remains immaculate clean plating flawless minty... both private press MRT LOCAL LABELS are perfect clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
