WELCOME TO LILABELLE_BE RECORD AUCTIONS

Dear rock record collector , before you read the discription of this record , first THE STORY,

I just bought a HUGE , INCREDIBLE collection lp’s ( around 1000 ) and vinylsingles ( around 2850 ) from a famous Belgian radio dj .... , he was dj from the Belgian National radio station between 1965 and 1978 . In this time he collected all these “rare” vinyls,(keep in mind that this is his PRIVATE COLLECTION and not the radio collection !!) . When he came at home with his new stuff , he put the record on tape or his REVOX , reel to reel recorder and put all records in his huge bookcase ( record case ), they nearly never played more than once ,  he always listened to his tapes .... meanwhile he was also Salesmanager for Polydor Belguim.After 1978 he left his job and Belguim for what it was and went to work in Asia , he never bought any record after this period anymore , all lp’s stayed in Belguim in boxes in a dry room for nearly 20 years !

In this collection you gonna see nearly all first pressings in MINT or NEARMINT condition !

We talk about Progressive , Psychedelic , Folkrock , Beat , Folk , Jazz and Countryrock ... .

I am not going to give a list of what’s inside because  this is too much work , i just gonna put every week new ones on aution, it’s a STUNNING collection !!! Everytime i gonna try to keep the discriptions brief , to the point and no 2 hours reading or psychological ploy to induce you into a state of mind numbness, the discription is what you get !!

One last thing , i guarantee all the conditions in my listings and offer a refund to any buyer who is not satisfied with my gradings , i’ve bought enough rubbish in the past that was over graded beyond belief ( as i’m sure you all have ), so i’m very aware of the need to grade correctly , i hope the foto’s below do this lp justice , as it truly is !

HAVE A NICE BID !!

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE

" ONE NATION UNDERGROUND "

The psychedelic folk band Pearls Before Swine was the brainchild of singer, composer and cult icon Tom Rapp !!

MEGARARE ORIG. HOLLAND PRESS !!!

Psychedelic-folk debut from one of the most erudite, literate minds in rock, Thomas D. Rapp (and the first of his ever-changing Swine). Although the songs here lack some cohesion, this is still a stunning piece of work, from the nightmarish sleeve art — the "Hell Panel" from Hieronymus Bosch's 15th century painting "Garden of Delights" — to the strange yet powerful songs. "Another Time," the most memorable selection, is an understated acoustic song, the first that Rapp ever penned, based on his experience in a horrific car crash where he walked away unscathed. Of similar mood is the beautiful "Ballad of an Amber Lady." "Drop Out" is a straightforward song built around a popular credo of the '60s. "Uncle John" is one of the earliest protest songs about the Vietnam War. Strangest (and funniest) of all is "(Oh Dear) Miss Morse," where Rapp adopts a Victorian persona and sounds out the Morse code spelling of F-U-C-K, accompanied by banjo and Farfisa organ.

Considering Rapp's fascination with history, it's not surprising that one of the songs here, "I Shall Not Care," features a co-writer credit to "Roman Tombs." The cryptic words that comprise this song's title were discovered on a tomb that dates to the final days of the Roman Empire.
