Ultimate keeper copy of OH black fuzz psych beast! Since the lads at the Acid Archives site are better at describing records than I am, I'll just hand it over to the Lama:
"Sign-of-the-times hard drugged out funky guitar-rock from black 7-piece band with titles like "Living in the ghetto" and "We got to pull together". Typical mix of late-period Hendrix and Sly Stone, with wailing acid fuzz, wah-wah and feedback, loose male/female ensemble singing and revolutionary lyrics up the wazoo. Also some late 60s Marvin Gaye soul moves with sax. Definite psychedelic feel with stoned sound fx and a certain cheese flavor to it, as though they could have played the local Panther section in an AIP movie. "Lady" is the weakest track, while the opener and the 15-minute "Marching to a different drummer" sounds like the Chamber Bros on PCP. The 50/50 mix of ghetto attitude and mind expansion is pretty successful in my ears, and while some people have expressed fatigue with hyped-up Hendrix/Sly derivations this one stands pretty well on its own bell-bottom clad legs. Great back cover photo from the grim streets of 1970 Cleveland. [PL]"

I'll just add that if early Grand Funk fed through a giant phaser unit is your idea of a good time, than this might be the LP for you...

POSTAGE RATES: Subject to change, this is a ROUGH, honest estimation of postage charges, charged at cost, **including packing materials** as well as the actual shipping.

Once I have mailed your package, I am not responsible for its safe arrival. That's what insurance is for. The postal service is responsible for insured packages only.

Despite what Ebay's shipping chart says, INSURANCE IS MANDATORY FOR ALL U.S. ORDERS.
REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL ORDERS OVER $100 (and highly recommended for international orders under $100)

DOMESTIC (U.S. ONLY) INSURANCE RATES:
Fee . . . . . . . . . . Insurance Coverage
$1.70 ................ $0.01 to $50
$2.15 ................ $50.01 to $100
$2.60 ................ $100.01 to $200
$4.60 ................ $200.01 to $300
$5.55 ................ $300.01 to $400
$6.50 ................ $400.01 to $500
$7.45 ................ $500.01 to $600
$7.45 plus $0.95 per $100 or fraction thereof over $600 to $5,000.

INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION RATE: $10.80 (in addition to regular postal charges) PER PACKAGE. Although registration only insures your package for $45, it provides a tracking number, and requires postal employees' signatures at various stops along the way, as well as your signature upon receipt of the package. It is known to be a VERY secure international shipping method and is highly recommended. It is REQUIRED for all packages sent from me that are worth $100 or more.
INSURANCE is NOT available for international First Class shipping, but is available for Priority or Express shipping to most countries. However, those rates are much more expensive than First Class - plus, insuring an international shipment will necessitate the declaration of the FULL value of your package on the customs form. International shipping can be a rather mysterious process at times. If you have any concerns or questions about this, please email me.
THANK YOU!
