Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. 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. 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

TIFFANY SHADE
A really enjoyable listen here. Nothing challenging or pushing the envelope about it but it is very well done and highly indicative that there was a bit of talent in the Tiffany Shade. Most of the tracks are self penned and fall into a hard, guitar driven, pop-rock sound. The opening track, 'Would You Take My Mind Out For A Walk' is psychedelic only in it's lyrics but the harmony vocals are breath taking and guarantee to attract almost any listener. It's also the best track. Other highlights include 'Sam' with it's funk groove, quirky lyrics and them damn nice backing vocals. While it may not be the cutting edge in terms of originality, it's often cited as one of the Mainstream labels finest garage/psych offerings; full of fuzz guitar, nifty harmonies and shimmering melodies (a fantastic take on Arthur Lee & Love's "Come Softly To Me"), you could do far worse in terms of purchases. Fan favorites include "the dreamy "No Reality" and the feedback drenched rocker "One Good Reason". Unfortunately, backed by Mainstream's standard marketing support (e.g. none), the set vanished without a trace). Overall a very good and surprisingly diverse collection of well arranged and written psych pop tunes. This band certainly had talent and were a very accomplished group of players. There are a number of mellow moments on the lp plus some excellent harmonies. The addition of the Fender Rhodes adds an interesting edge. There is a disparity of production values; side 2 sounds alot more polished, especially vocally. Nevertheless it has a real period charm. It is nicely balanced and well worth investigating as well as played pretty straight in that there's no studio trickery; backwards guitar, phasing etc.
