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!

RARE PRIVATE PRESS
... 1970 HARD BLUESY PSYCH ROCK ...
ROCK ISLAND
USA - PROJECT 3
MINTY CLEAN VINYL
Original 1970 first pressing of a much sought after HARD PSYCHROCK collectible...
The mighty ROCK ISLAND is like Bull Angus, only much more hard to find... so...what we have here is solid hard rock with layered, soulful vocals and lots of sixties style melodies and druggy aroma drenched in underground bluesy rock, heavy structures -- Highlighted by "Runnin Through My Mind" and the 9 min "Blues" (in three parts) both songs are bluesy pysch rock with Hammond organ. The song long track "Blues"(in three parts) is one of the best tracks on the album with smokin guitar and hammond organ mixes getting it on...decent vocals as well.
Rock Island formed in 1969 in Philadelphia and had a few different line-ups before the final members that recorded this album, which consisted of Cobb Bussinger (Hammond organ, vocals), Mike Kennedy (guitar, vocals), Frank Schallis (drums, vocals), B.J. Taylor (lead vocals), and Tony Curcio (bass). Three of the members-Cobb, Mike, and Frank -were previously in a band together named The Many Few.
