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!

Solid collection copy !
SCARCE original 1973 U.K. PURPLE RECORDS first vinyl pressing of a brutal hard guitar trio who managed a couple of sought/respected collectible albums in the early 70's UK.
Hard Stuff were formed after the drummer Paul Hammond and guitarist John DuCann left Atomic Rooster. A very heavy three piece who were not just hard rock but experimented with their sound. The first three tracks will have you moving, though all of the tracks are beneficial to the albums overall success. Basically the brainchild of famed guitarist John DuCann who was in Andromeda, Atomic Rooster and other noted heavies of the late 60's early 70's...
BOLEX DEMENTIA was the second of the two LPs recorded by HARD STUFF, and it's hard to imagine a better example of blistering 70s heavy rock than their two Lp's. Not only do they have brutally distorted guitar riffs, they also have the benefit of good songwriting, resulting in a rare combination of both guts and brains. Split vocal duties also help, with the John's du Cann and Gustafson sharing the mike-stand. Bolex Dementia is not as dark as Bulletproof though it kicks into hot wired funky-guitar outbursts in hard 'n heavy structures all throughout within the music,
- very Hard Stuff indeed!
Their ventures into HEAVY funk is unique in its style, which master guitarist John Cann manages to pull off quite well. After all, A lot of hard rock bands seemed to get hit with funk poisoning by 1973. This trio develops it into their ripping sound in a very effective way...The highlight of the album is definitely 'Spider's Web'. It starts off with a nice drum and quirky guitar line ensemble and then to a real catchy & overloaded funk guitar riff with an infectious chorus. One of the album's crowning achievements. Elsewhere, there is some oddball material like the drunken sounding 'Mermany', clearly the best song on the album, along with the ominous title cut, "Bolex Dementia", an instrumental with radio voices appearing. A very unsettling cut, that same "future-shock" creepy atmosphere which one first perceives on parts of the Quatermass LP which was an offshoot of Hard Stuff.
