We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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.

USA - rainbow Capitol - ST 154
51 years of age ADVANCE RELEASE PROMOTIONAL
Hard to find PROMOTIONAL ORIG 1968 first pressing on the highly collected rainbow Capitol label...the first of two strong albums by STAINED GLASS, neither of which turn up often, and worth the score...
The wonderful world of Crazy Horse Roads, released in 1968 by Stained Glass, has been unjustly forgotten with the passing of time. The band started out life covering Beatles songs in San Jose, California. Their first single, a cover of the Beatles’ If I Needed Someone was released in 1966. It was a respectable cover of the Beatle’s classic though the flip was better, being a moody folk-rock original.
In the 1960’s, artists and rock bands depended on the success of the single to grant them artistic and creative control/freedom (making albums). We Got A Long Way To Go was a huge local hit, well executed, pleasant enough and professional, though betraying the band’s roots and creative aspirations. Eventually the band was granted freedom to record two albums on the famed Capital label.
Crazy Horse Roads is a unique effort, and much different from their jam oriented 2nd "Aurora" album. There are some solid psych pop songs (Night Cap, Twiddle My Thumbs and Fingerpainting), r&b rock (Two Make One and Fahrenheit), galloping rural-rock (Horse On Me) and hard folk-rockers (Light Down Below, Doomsday, I Sing You Sing, and Soap and Turkey). Doomsday really stands out as the lost mini classic though, with some huge vibrating fuzz riffs, hard strumming acoustic guitars, tight harmonies and a psychedelic production. Night Cap is also a really good bouncy, twisted psych pop song with a British influence. You never know what's coming next throughout the album and the band’s sound resembles Moby Grape, HMS Bounty and Buffalo Springfield.
Aurora, their second, released the following year (1969), is a good album finding the band indulging in a guitar based San Francisco ballroom style.

CONDITION: The cover: Rated: strong VG++ front cover, M- back cover with NO wear ... almost all surviving copies have some or a lot of wear to the black back cover, with that consider this is a great/scarce collection copy from over 50 years ago. There are no split seams, no bends and no writing.
The vinyl: Rated: still all glossy, visually VG++ few minor (light only) top surface scuffs, nothing deep, plays in excellent audio zones, was very enjoyable here and frankly sounded like a new/old discovery, improving with age of 51 years onward. Both rainbow Capitol labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
