We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

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!

SCARCE ....Original 1971 first pressing of the second TEAR GAS album...a hard blues British rocker ... These Scotland based progressive/heavy rockers, known as TEAR GAS, were originally known as Mustard. Their first vocalist Andy Mulvey had previously been with The Poets. However, he was soon replaced by David Batchelor and around the same time Gilson Lavis (their original drummer, who later played with Squeeze) was replaced by Richard Monro from Ritchie Blackmore's Mandrake Root. This line-up recorded Piggy Go Getter, which made little impact. In 1970 Hugh McKenna took over Batchelor's vocal role and Ted McKenna (ex-Dream Police) relieved Monro on drums. They recorded a second album and tried to establish themselves on the underground scene but were going nowhere with their brand of heavy Psych-rock, until they teamed up with Alex Harvey in August 1972 to become The Sensational Alex Harvey Band ...still, for underground rock & psych fans, you must check this bands two albums out .. their 'other' self titled album goes for $$$ hundred(s) on the collector market, and in a hurry....

*David Batchelor - Lead vocals
*Zal Cleminson - Guitar
*Richard Monro - Drums
*Eddie Campbell - Keyboards
*Chris Glen - Bass

CONDITION: The cover: Really hard to find clean for some reason, this THICK gatefold is stiff and solid all over, TOP COPY M- has a very small delete line at far right pocket, otherwise VERY SHARP and looks to be a great upgrade or first time score...no bends, no split seams, NO cut corners,  and no writing.... 

The vinyl: super clean, MINT ... looks like it was handled all too carefully over the past 40+ years ... will play perfect on anyones gear... 

keeper!
