In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

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.  We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +22,000 positive feedback.   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.   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.

MONO RADIO STATION ONLY  WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL LP 

Extremely Rare 1968 ACID-tripper Lp deluxe !
...Written and directed by off-the-wall composer Joseph Byrd who soon released basically a second UNITED STATES OF AMERICA album under the group title, "Joseph Byrd and Field Hippies"...
Pretty much unheard-of MONO 1968 very limited radio station WHITE LABEL PROMO transmission first printing on the highly collected 360 Sound Columbia ~~~ very good & solid slice of prime psychedelic laced rock...legendary 58 years (from now), later
  1.   The United States of America was one of the early mixes of rock and psychedelic rock whose works combined of early electronic meshed into rock music ...  Theirs was an example of a acid-rock music group where they were clearly "ahead of their time" 

  2. Formed in 1967 by Joe Byrd, the band membership consisted of the following:
  3. Joe Byrd (electronic music, electric harpsichord, organ, calliope, piano, and Durrett Electronic Music Synthesizer), 
  4. Dorothy Moskowitz (lead vocals), 
  5. Gordon Marron (electric violin, ring modulator), 
  6. Rand Forbes (fretless electric bass) 
  7. Craig Woodson (electric drums and percussion). 
  8. Ed Bogas  organ, piano, and calliope
  9. The record was recorded and produced by David Rubinson, for CBS Records in 1967, and released in 1968.

    IN the neighborhood of Fifty Foot Hose's "Cauldron" and White Noise's "An Electric Storm" but better and on Columbia Records. 
  10. Pretty cool throughout, very trippy, awesome tripped-out sound effects mixed in Jefferson Airplane sun-chilled flower psych freak edges . 

  11. IF there's one album that needs more exposure it is this one. 
  12. Quite innovative for its time with its use of electronic instruments and use of samples and strong hazy-melodic songs ...
  13. The better "The Ultimate Spinach"

  14. 'The Garden Of Earthly Delights' opens the album with mysterious haunting female vocals over an ominous keybord melody which is immersing through the track,a surprise of things come. 
  15. The rest of the album continues in path with a combination of upbeat trips and atmospheric/classical heady style of songs. The drum and bass create a tight rhythm section which goes down well with the embedded electronic melodies. All the songs (including FUZZ guitar, have their own personality which makes listening to the whole album both easy and interesting .

The cover: rated: VG++ SPECIAL MONO / RADIO STATION STICKER at top left,front cover ...Just light prior handling yet all stiff and solid - the black cover is still quite nice and presentable considering it is usually prone to wear =there are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing   ...

The vinyl: Rated: VG++ vastly shiny clean, has a couple very minor visible fingernail type scuffs - yet both sides play outstanding and both white promo MONO labels are very clean

A cool addition to anyone's music library!
