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.

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 COLLECTION TOP COPY!

    Contains the elusive original printed custom inner sleeve!

    Seldom do we ever come across the high quality Zapple/APPLE pressing of the bizarre AND way-out concoction by Mr Harrison and by far, certainly his hardest to find LP - it's 47 years old, with the former Beatle at the controls taking you on a mind journey from here to there in passages filled with weaving flashes and solar head trips ...

    ...............................................................................

    When it comes to the so-called 'synthesizer wizards', one would not usually think of Beatle George as being one of them. For a brief time in 1969 however, he was just that. Following a recording session for Apple artist Jackie Lomax, George expressed a high interest in what was then a relavtively new instrument. Immediately following this, he purchased a Moog Synthesizer and assembled "Electronic Sound". Shortly afterwards, The Beatles were using the Moog for the sessions which became the "Abbey Road" album.

  • Recorded in the late '60s, "Electronic Sound" vanished upon release. Over 45+ years after this release, it's amazing to see just how far ahead of its time this LP really is.

  • "Under The Mersey Wall" is the first of the two tracks which comprise this album. It begins with a series of racecar-like noises and various other sounds. At about the half-way mark, the piece shifts into a surreal meditative mood which floats like a strange unknown planet.

  • "No Time Or Space" is a 25-minute masterwork which goes all over the place. There has been a long-running controversy surrounding this piece and there is no denying that this piece is extraordinary. It begins with what sounds like a plethora of shotgun blasts. This then transforms into a series squeaks, squeals and bursts of white noise. After several minutes of this, a giant gale-force wind of white noise comes in which leads into roughly 15-minutes worth of what sounds like aliens taking over a galaxy in a sci-fi cartoon. As the piece draws to its close, the chaotic space sounds turn into random belches, noises and crackles (No kidding). Then it's all over.


    Listening tip: Wear headphones or have your speakers on either side of you to get that nice "surround" effect. Many of the sounds jump from side to side and it's much more exciting to listen to this way (as is pretty much anything recorded back when stereo was still a new thing).
