• This week I am offering nearly two-hundred great psych, psych-folk, psych-soul, hippie, freakbeat, prog, fuzz, heavy, sunshine pop, blues, and soul LPs from a fantastic one-owner collection!

• The majority of these scarce albums look as if they were bought yesterday, not of 35 to 40 years ago! Many are still sealed, many more are rare white label promotional pressings, and all are NM to MINT unplayed condition!

• The original owner obviously acquired these just to collect them, not to play them. You will want to buy as many from this collection as you can so you can get a savings on postage!

• Mike Patto (vocals), Ollie Halsall (guitar, piano, vibes, vocals), "Admiral" John Halsey [Barry Wom] (drums, vocals), Clive Griffiths (bass).

• "This is... not made for the masses at all. It needs several careful and heedful listens to feel all its essence. Overall, it's a kind of progressive tough rock with some jazz flavours. All turns around a lead-guitar, bass-guitar and drums headed by a raw singing. "The Man" is an excellent opener starting in a slow tempo. As we are waiting for something, the tension constantly grows up. The excellent vibes solo in the middle adds some mystery in this track. In the end, when Patto bursts into "I Saw the Man", it's quite impressive. The acoustic "Time to Die" reminds the Love atmosphere in Forever Changes. It's really beautiful. "Red Glow" has got 2 excellent guitar solos. Same excellent solo guitar playing in the upbeat "San Antone" with an awesome drumming too. A true urgent fire bomb. "The Government Man" is led by an excellent bass line all along. "Money Bag" is the longest and the hardest track to assimilate. It starts with an awesome bass playing with guitar and drums complex rhythms. They sometimes play close to free-jazz; though, if you can't get this at first, when assimilated, it's a real pleasure to listen to it, especially the bass/lead-guitar/drums dialogues. After 6:20 of highly mastered free improvisation, the rest of the track is more melodic with numerous rhythm changes still in a jazzy atmosphere. This is such an unconventional track but when you get it, it's really an awesome gem. "Sittin' Back Easy" starts slowly with some excellent rock and short instrumental passages. This Patto 1st album is a criminally overlooked and underrated stuff. This album sales were a failure in spite of the band's numerous successful concerts and critics acclaim." Which means this LP is VERY RARE!

• Vintage LP record, still sealed USA pressing from 1970.

• Gatefold Unipak jacket constructed of sturdy white card stock with lithographed images. Jacket is MINT condition, no splits, ring wear, writing, or other trauma, and the factory shrinkwrap is still sealed!

• The shrink wrapper is very tight. I found two breathe holes in the shrink wrap on the front cover.

• The jacket is not a cut out, so no cut corners, no drill holes, and no saw cuts. Obviously no bar codes, either.

• The disc in this classic LP is presumed to be in perfect condition!

It goes without saying that investing in a sealed vintage LP, just to experience the act of removing the wrapper and listening to it, is the privilege of the winning bidder. However, it is key that you understand that the collectability of this album is due to its being unopened. Because I cannot see the condition of the record inside, I guarantee only the condition of the jacket and shrink wrapper, and sealed records are not returnable for any reason if they have been opened by the purchaser.

I have been seeking out and selling vintage records professionally by mail for years. I am a collector as well. I know how to pack your valuable records for safe and speedy shipment, double-boxing when warranted and using industry-preferred boxes and mailers with sufficient cushioning material. Please do not neglect to check out the rest of my rare records!

INTERNATIONAL BIDDER INFO:

• Free postage offer does not apply. Add $4 per each additional LP. Double record sets count as two LPs, triple record sets count as three, etc.

• I do not charge handling fees. I also never use international first class shipping if you use PayPal, because it is not safe. USPS Priority or Express rate only, because they offer free tracking and insurance. Just slightly more expensive. If you cannot afford proper postage then this record is not for you.

• Finally, import duty taxes are the responsibilty of the buyer. I will not honor any request that I misrepresent parcel value or other information on the customs form.

• If you pay with PayPal, I will not ship with First Class mail.
• PayPal requires tracking for proof of delivery, and First Class does not offer that service.
• I understand the need to pay as little as possible for postage, so if you must have First Class delivery instead of the much safer Priority Mail, please email me before you bid so that we can come to an agreement.
