We have 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 2/3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers.
We mail all paid orders out once a week on Fridays/Saturdays. 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 to Monday. We strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. Please be aware we have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.
TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS: We are happy to hold orders to save on shipping. Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and, if you request, we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel.

ORIGINAL GERMAN PRESSING 1971 COLLECTIBLE
HARD BLUES-PSYCH BEAST!
LEAFHOUND
GROWERS OF MUSHROOMS
German - Decca/Telfunkin - SLE 14604 - P ("Royal Sound Stereo")
ORIGINAL 1970 German first pressing laminated cover DECCA based Telefunkin Records pressing of outrageous hard psych rock band with a deadly sound...like Killing Floor born from the British blues boom, these cats were sinister...and their album is wicked good....
We don't know a heck of a lot about Leaf Hound, except that they were around in the late 60's to early 70's, their ONLY album is highly sought after by record collector/hipster types, and members of the group went on to join Free, Atomic Rooster, and, er... um... Foghat. They play some really kick-ass, bluesy, psychedelic hard rock, which we get totally down with ...
Leaf Hound was formed from the ashes of Black Cat Bones who added Keith Young on drums and continued on under a new name in 1971. Other members included vocalist Peter French, guitarist Mick Halls, and the Brooks brothers Derek and Stu on guitar and bass respectively. The band's only album contained an acid guitar based psychedelic sludgefest of blues based rock. The band sounded like a raw combination of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Tracks which stand out include "Drowned My Life In Fear", "Stray" and "Sawdust Caeser". However, the entire LP is great, no weak moments. Pete French's vocals fit the mood of the set perfectly.
Drowned My Life In Fear
Stray
Stagnant Pool
Sad Road To Sea

Work My Body
Sawdust Ceaser
A Minute To Go
CONDITION: The cover is laminated on both sides...light scuffing to the lamination only (not shelf wear) that is noticable upon light reflection...some light spider web creasing caused by handling over the years in the lamination which is pretty normal for 40 year old album covers from overseas. No seam splits, no writing, strong original colors...original store price sticker on top right can easily removable if desired.
The vinyl is glossy on both sides but with shallow hair scuff lines, looks VG+, play graded VG++ to excellent with no more than a bit of low end ticks here or there, not bothersome and overall enjoyable. One we would keep in our own collection if didn't have a copy.
keeper copy!
