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!

USA - star people (PRIVATE PRESS)
Original ...MEGA RARE specially designed - custom flip-top box for promotional use only that was to be sent to radio stations and media outlets showcasing the STRANGE "High Flyer" LP
STILL FACTORY SEALED LP in the RARE promotional box ...
Terry Brooks is known to collectors of heavy psych rock for his Translucent World (1973) and Raw Power (1976) albums, released under the name Strange (later reissued as Terry Brooks and Strange). But digging deeper into the life and work of this gifted guitarist, artist and author reveals a fascinating tale of a man who was ahead of his time as a musician, and one who took control of the pressing and releasing of his albums in the days before such endeavors were common.
Though “heavy psych” is the tag typically given to Terry’s music, attentive listening across several albums reveals a deep space quality and distinctly personal guitar style that is simultaneously cosmic and manic, other-worldly and molten lava rocking. For Terry Brooks the guitar solo is sacred. Solos frequently dominate entire tracks, though far from being self-indulgent, the solo is for Terry a means of articulating the very essence of his soul.
HIGH FLYER was a One-take LP recorded live & raw in the studio ... a long album, it's 50 minutes! The "Earth Side" delivers devastating guitar-blasting hardrock dominated by plenty of explosive heavy searing leads. The famous Billboard magazine reviewed it & "Recommended" the album which was pretty uncommon for a "hits-ville" crew to ever recommend an underground psych album ...the songs on HIGH FLYER are full of Brooks’ trademark fast-picking lead guitar style. The album’s most memorable song, ”It’s A Beautiful Day,” starts out a gentle ballad and deteriorates into endless guitar-mania soloing. Overall the album is entertaining, and compelling with an odd charm
