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 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!

TOP MINT ORIGINAL!!!

***STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER***
Smoke consisted of Johnny Orvis (vocals, guitar), Eddie Beyer (keyboards), Richard Floyd (bass, guitar, vocals), Earl Finn (bass, keyboards, guitar), Phil Parker (drums).
TOP MINTY COPY from 45 years ago...
A lost treasure for the biker blues crowd. The track "Greased Lightnin'" MAY be the first and only song about Jimi Hendrix written while Hendrix was still alive.
This is the 1970 second release (“Carry On Your Idea” being the first) by the late sixties Houston Texas band Smoke based on the Pacific West Coast, led by John Orvis (vocals-guitar), who composed all their material, the group also included Richard Floyd (bass-guitar-vocals), Eddie Beyer (keyboards), Earl Finn (bass-keyboards-guitar) and Phil Parker (drums).
Their music can best be described as "psychedelic boogie" epitomized by “Greased Lightnin’” an ode to Jimi Hendrix (recorded during his lifetime, was he flattered?) and the boogie bonanza “Brown Bread”. Loads of energy, jiving vocals, good guitar solos and powerful organ parts. The album was produced by Jimmie Haskell, one of the best producers/arrangers operating in the California studios in the sixties.
