Description
Hello Vinyl-Collectors all around the World. I am selling a part of my collection, not flew-market-garbage:-). I am 30 years in collecting, so no hassle and a good service is guaranteed. All records are acoustically checked, so you can trust in my grading. Of course all (except AMON DÜÜL/PSYCH UNDERGROUND are ex and better). Of course I will send out in a thick box, LPs removed from the outer sleeves and in an extra "plastic-cover" (I don't know the right English word for it). No need to write a book about the defects/problems which an item DOES NOT HAVE, ok, some people like this, but I think you prefer to read books or magazines. Here is everything written what is necessary. If you want to know more, feel free to ask.

Some Background info :
Starting out as a typical U.K. club soul band, and then turning toward psychedelia and prog rock in the latter half of the '60s, it wasn't until Pesky Gee! changed their name in 1970 to Black Widow, transformed, and released the satanic "Sacrifice" that they reached the public eye. If not singular in any particular way, the prog-edged Pesky Gee! album, released on Pye in 1969, has enough cool Hammond organ flourishes and late psych-intoned vocals (male and female) to cause interest. Much is aimless, relies too much on the blues-rock boom, or is downright bad ("Born to Be Wild"), but when they got the mix right they were superb, as on their original psych/soul/prog numbers: on "A Place of Heartbreak" there is a superb male/female vocal, a soulful beat, and some haunting changes; while "Where Is My Mind" (both songs were released as a 45) has a driving rhythm, a unique use of horns, and sees the beginning of the band's fascination with sinister subject matter and horror vocalization. The covers get a bit much, although the Julie Driscoll-intoned reading of Donovan's "Season of the Witch" has some fine moments. Not a solid affair but representative of the change in the British music scene of the late '60s. ~ Jon 'Mojo' Mills, All Music Guide
