Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

MINTY CLEAN VINYL! PLAYS FANTASTIC ~ Gotta Be The Best Copy On Ebay?!?
Original 1971 first press... hands down the 'rarest' most difficult to find of all the Strawberry Alarm Clock albums...it wasn't meant to be a top seller because the material is filled with great tracks having no commercial potential, and that's a good thing for psych collectors as contains no filler!
...................................................
“Changes” is a very rare overview album put out in 1971 by Vocalion Records which was a sister label to Uni (SAC’s label) and MCA, which owned Decca, Vocalion and Uni among other labels. The cover shows an alternate designed drawing of the Incense and Peppermints album cover from 1967 while the back cover shows a photo of the then current 1970 SAC lineup of Ed King, Lee Freeman, Gene Gunnels and Paul Marshall. The “Changes” album is a unique SAC Lp and sought because it features a solid selection of the non-hits material and altogether flows together very cohesively.
Changes bypasses all of the band’s earlier and better-known hits to focus instead on SAC’s later career and interesting album cuts. It indeed succeeds in this, with a fairly insightful selection of some of the Clock’s hidden highlights.
Those highlights include the excellent psychedelic trilogy “Black Butter” songs (“Past”, “Present”, and “Future”).
This set was evidently intended to be a sort of companion piece to 1970’s The Best Of Strawberry Alarm Clock, which collected the well known Strawberry Alarm Clock songs (the hits and singles, in other words).
