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 become 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. 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!

Original 1967 British FFSS DECCA RECORDS FIRST PRESSING in laminated cover  (back cover mentions the mono issue on the little stereo/mono hole)

Clapton left the Bluesbreakers in mid 1966 to form Cream with Jack Bruce, who had played with Mayall briefly in late 1965. Mayall turned quickly to Peter Green, who managed the difficult feat of stepping into Clapton's shoes and gaining respect as a player of roughly equal imagination and virtuosity, although his style was quite distinctly his own. Green recorded one LP with Mayall, A Hard Road, and several singles, sometimes writing material and taking some respectable lead vocals. Green's talents, like those of Clapton, were too large to be confined by sideman status, and in mid 1967 he left to form a successful band of his own, Fleetwood Mac. A Hard Road itself was a classic blues-rock album, highlighted by Green's incredible sustain on "Supernatural" (a clear influence on Carlos Santana). Green also took some of the lead vocal and songwriting duties, though Mayall remained the dominant singer, whether on covers (the best of them being Freddie King's "Someday After a While (You'll Be Sorry)") or originals (highlighted by the uncharacteristically frantic "Leaping Christine" and the moody "Living Alone"). Mayall, no fool, let Peter Green's mighty guitar work shine in every cut.

CONDITION: The cover:The fragile UK cover is typically delicate...looks solid all over and upon close inspection reveals tiny spider web handling creases that you so frequently see in the lamination of 40+ year old Europe/British pressings of the era with no seam splits and no bends, no writing, looks like a collectible keeper. Oh, has the little MONO/STEREO 'hole' at top back cover that UK DECCA Records designed to show the different (mono/stereo) formats. And still comtains the original "made in England" store price sticker on front cover (easily removable if desired)

The vinyl: both sides are all shiny and smooth and CLEAN...VG++ looks VERY clean over both sides, no more than liitle inner sleeve type paper scuffs...plays enjoyable ! plus Clean DECCA labels!

keeper!

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
