We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

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 +22,000 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!

The original Climax Chicago Blues Band (later to become known as the Climax Blues Band dropping the "Chicago" name from their group title) was formed in Stafford, England in 1968 and continued until 1988. The original members were guitarists Peter Haycock and Derek Holt, keyboardist Arthur Wood, bassist Richard Jones, drummer George Newsome and vocalist/harmonica player Colin Cooper... The Climax Chicago Blues Band were arguably the epiphany of the British beat movement or, at the very least, a survivor. In any case, the group's 1969 first self-titled album was pretty much on the end of the blues-boom, a scene swiftly mutating into new genres entirely -- prog rock, space rock, hard rock and psychedelia among them. But out of this musical maelstrom popped the Climax Chicago Blues Band, birthed from the remnants of the little noticed Beat era band 'Hipster Image,' and its equally unheralded successor the 'Gospel Truth.' Still blues to the core, half their album was comprised of their own versions of 'blues' greats, penned or performed by the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson II, Howlin' Wolf, Big Bill Broonzy, and Jimmy Reed, while their originals were much in the same vein. Inevitably, their jams with superb dual guitars interplay between Peter Haycock and Derek Holt elicited most of the action at the time, further excited by 17-year-old Haycock looking much younger than his actual age (rumors swept the scene that he was only 13). Colin Cooper's vocals were rarely as impressive, but hand him his harmonica and he could occasionally even upstage both the guitarists. The bottom end equaled the top with swaggering, walking basslines -- check out Richard Jones fabulous work on "How Many More Years" -- and stunning drumming throughout the whole album.
