SIDE 1
Melancholy baby
I feel a bit strange
Get along boy
Blues on you
I got to you

SIDE 2
Not another night
Let her come in
Please understand
Blind with a borrowed light
There's a woman
Doin' alright

Great California melodic/harmony psych trip, instantly likable and strong enough to hold your attention for repeat plays. Elements from disparate sources are brought in -- Curt Boettcher sunshine pop, Bay Area teen top 40 psych like Neighb'rhood Childr'n, Sunset Strip organ/fuzz/flute a la Strawberry Alarmclock -- yet the end result is consistent and convincing, with plenty of strength in the songwriting and arrangements, and no major weaknesses. A few tracks point towards the relaxed early 1970s psych sound of Kak and Bob Smith. Impressive, not unlike a junior Music Emporium. Ex-Merry Prankster Sandy "Dismount" Lehmann-Haupt was involved and may have contributed to the non-fake vibe of this LP. http://www.myspace.com/thesapphirethinkers

Overall our records are in very nice to excellent condition with play wear and some have scuff marks. NOT PLAY TESTED, SO YOU BUY AS IS. Some may need to be cleaned and may play with some scattered light background as found on most used records. Others are in excellent in condition. Most of the jackets have some edge and surface wear. Any splits or damage will be noted. If you are unhappy with your order please email us before leaving feedback. We will make it right!


We are selling the contents of a used record store that closed its doors in 1982. The records were stored well, but some were stacked and show minor scuffing that does not appear to affect the sound. We have 78's, singles, EPs and LPs from 1920's-1980, including rock, pop, country, jazz, and classical music, and a small number of original cast recordings and soundtracks. It will take a while, but eventually our whole inventory will be listed. All our records are in very good to excellent condition, with any exceptions noted in the listing. If you are unhappy with an order for any reason, you may return the items for a full refund (you pay the postage). Please contact us if there are any problems, before posting negative feedback: We Will Make It Right! Here's to Happy E-Bay-ing!
