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 become 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.

RARE 1973 BRITISH "TRANSATLANTIC" FIRST PRINTING
MINTY CLEAN
SKIN ALLEY
SKIN TIGHT
UK -Transatlantic - TRA 273
TOP COPY! MINTY CLEAN
RARE progressive collectible....Original 1973 first pressing on the old UK "Transatlantic" label home base to many UK prog & folk greats from the early 70's...
SKIN ALLEY Includes bassist and second keyboardist Nick Graham who was also in The End, Atomic Rooster and Tucky Buzzard... "Skintight" released on UK CBS in 1973 is highlighted by three "Instermental" a moving melodic jam with flute, organ, guitar mixes; "The Heep Turns Human", which brings to mind The Who in the Who's Next period and the bluesy hard-rocker "Maverick Woman Blues", another cool tune which featured strong vocals and slide guitar. “Surprise Awakening”, with restrained reeds employment, approaches quite close to a British prog/jazz skirt atmosphere. Other tracks are enjoyable if not groundbreaking...this was the last Lp by Skin Alley...The Transatlantic british original is exceedingly hard to find...
- Bob James / Guitars, Flute, Reeds, Vocals
- Krzysztof-Henryk Justkiewicz / Keyboards
- Nick Graham / Bass, Flute, Keyboards, Vocals
- Tony Knight / Drums, Percussion, Vocals
