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.

TOP COPY!   MINTY CLEAN ...

BEAUTIFUL MINT... RARE & SOUGHT authentic old cardboard cover vintage issue on the legendary International Artists label, released a few years later, the last official I.A. pressing = very collectible Texas psych/garage crew who issued this one and only album on the International Artists label...With the pressing being pre-bar code days, of course there is NO bar code ... 

Endle St. Cloud is both a person and a band, a peculiar acid-folk-heavy-psych blend from Houston whose 1968 album Thank You All Very Much is one of the odder releases on the legendary International Artists label, also home to the Red Crayola and 13th Floor Elevators. Endle St. Cloud was the lead singer and keys player. Peter Black (formerly of the Lost and Found) played guitar, David F. Potter (of Los Angeles' East Side Kids) added drums, and Andrew Melinger (formerly of Houston's the Iguanas) was the bassist. The group originally formed in early 1968 under the name Endle St. Cloud in the Rain, by which they released the single "Tell Me One More Time (What's Happening to Our World)" backed with "Quest for Beauty." Neither of these songs appears on this long-player, Thank You All Very Much, which was released later the same year of '68. (Interestingly, although the sleeve shortened the band's name to Endle St. Cloud, the label keeps the group's original, more mysterious name.) More than a year later, when International Artists was trying to come up with a charting follow-up to Bubble Puppy's surprise hit "Hot Smoke and Sassafras," two songs were pulled from this album, "She Wears It Like a Badge" and "Laughter," and released as a single credited simply to Endle, further muddying the waters. By this time, the group had split up; Endle St. Cloud and D.F. Potter split Texas for Los Angeles, where they hooked up with three local musicians and released a self-titled album as Potter St. Cloud on the Mediarts label in 1971.
