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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. 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. 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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

\ AUSTRALIA - VERTIGO (space ship) - 6537 104
TOP COPY!!!
RARE ORIGINAL first printing on the Vertigo label (space ship design, the way it was first released) ...hardly EVER turn s up ... the mid '70s FINAL Lp by BUFFALO, one of the top heavy groups from the '70s...
Dave Tice - lead vocals, harp... Chris Turner - guitar, backing vocals...Jimmy Economou - drums ... Ross Sims - bass...
If Dead Forever earned them a reputation as no-nonsense heavy explosives with a wicked singer and brutal guitars - which were just about as loud and aggressive as a band can get. The final 2 Buffalo albums have long been unjustly underrated when compared to the 1,2,3 punch of dead forever…,Volcanic Rock and Only Want You For Your Body. Management’s decision to sack “uncontrollable” original guitarist John Baxter and pursue a more serious direction was also borne of the frustration of the constant grind of the road, declining record sales and no support from radio or TV. It was probably a mistake; Buffalo never really recovered from the change in dynamic, and the next 2 years saw a revolving door of replacement guitarists. However, to write this period off is also a mistake. Both albums contain terrific tracks that can sit proudly amongst any of Buffalo ’s early classics.New guitarist Chris Turner: "My brief from the management was to sort ‘em out and make a successful record.. The first thing the band did was to record ‘Rollin’’ and ‘Hotel Ladies’ as a single. The A-side in particular was an enticing effort, replete with Tice’s heavily echoed vocals, with catchy chorus, hand-claps and perfectly suited for radio airplay. There are no two ways about it, Buffalo was a competent entity by then - yet the radio networks still refused to give their singles a spin! ‘Hotel Ladies’ from the second side, highlights, with its slow-burning build up and rousing, guitar-heavy climax.
