We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind 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 became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI 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.

SCARCE advance release WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL of the very first 1969 BEAST album (they made two collectible 'psych' albums) ... This Colorado underground band once opened for THE WHO on tour in 1968 ....The BEAST has a unique formidable sound:

BEAST plays a delicate brand of late ‘60s rock, a musical style at complete odds with both its powerful, aggressive band name and the dark, somewhat inexplicable cover art that graces its self-titled debut. The winds and flutes that flutter around the contents of a record housed in a package so blatantly heavy is one of the great musical paradoxes of the psychedelic era. Released in 1969, Beast is rooted in acoustic-driven, harmony-laced rock. “Floating (Down by the River)” and “Listen” typify the ensemble’s heady approach, with “Goin’ Downtown” and “Treat Her Right” being punchy, upbeat numbers, the album as a whole grows with repeat plays, highlighted by the fuzz guitar driven “When We Rise” ...Although Beast charted briefly on the Billboard Top 200 album chart (it peaked at #195), the band’s career was short-lived issuing just one more album in 1970.

As quoted from BEAST member 'Yeazel'; "We had so much energy, with lead singer David Raines fronting our group. We had the late great Larry Ferris on drums, Kenny Passarelli on bass, Gerry Fike on Hammond B3 organ, and myself on guitar. Adding the icing on the cake: the late Mike Kerns on saxes and flute. It was a big powerful sound with an edgy rock attitude.

Before we played our first gig, we moved to a desolate area between Denver and Colorado Springs and practiced, practiced, and practiced some more. Living on a 1000 acre ranch in the middle of "the black forest" in a communal setting was quite an interesting experience. Dogs, cats, wives, girlfriends, and all night practice sessions driven by a consuming love of music and high quality drugs were a recipe for a strong band. This arrangement lasted for about a year until we moved back to Denver to recapture our collective sanity. Totally unforeseen by the band, this caused quite a buzz in the musical community, and when we finally started gigging, we kicked ass!! ..."
