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 became 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.

ADVANCED RELEASE PROMOTIONAL
SAROFEEN and SMOKE
\ USA - GWP RCORDS - ST 2029
CLEAN and HARD TO FIND ...PLAYS TOP MINT
...Original 1971 first pressing ...it's a rare D.J. advanced release PROMOTIONAL of obscure blues hardrock featuring a strong female singer called Sarofeen...
Sarofeen's vocal style has been compared to Janis Joplin, Ellen McIllwaine of 'Fear Itself', & the Shocking Blue's (deceased) Mariska Veres, and if you like those vocalists you should give her a chance. Even if you don't like that heavy, bluesy 60's female vocal style you should still give it a try. Sarofeen & John Martin (especially the latter) wrote some excellent material for the album and the band (listed below) is strong... Gutsy, bluesy vocals... reminiscent of Shocking Blue's Mariska Veres, or Janis Joplin without the rasp. Well worth searching out. The LP starts with the smoking psychedelic blues of Susan Jane. Cream Of Nowhere is a heavier, more ragged jam while It's Love sees Sarofeen deliver a thoughtful and soulful ballad. A quality dancer comes in the shape of a gritty take on Swamp Man.
Side 2 highlights are the mid-paced rock of Witch which features some great (and subtle) instrumentation from the backing band. Tomorrow is moody piece with some decent harmonica from Martin. The swirling dirge that is the take on Rocky Mountain Blues closes this interesting period piece.
