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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. 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 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 became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use 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 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.

ADVANCED RELEASE PROMOTIONAL
RARE and sought original 1969 first pressing with M- all clean vinyl... housed in the old-style unipack gatefold cover ... A British progressive psych band of merit and appeal ...
Ark 2 is a 1969 concept album released by obscure British rock group Flaming Youth. Released in October, the album featured the theme of an evacuation from a dying Earth. The main single from the album was "From Now On". The album and its space theme were influenced by the media's attention to the moon landing. There was also a follow-up single recorded, “Man, Woman, and Child”. After a brief tour, the group dissolved.
The band is known as the original group of pop singer Phil Collins, then 18 years of age, who was the group’s drummer. Collins and the guitarist Ronnie Caryl both auditioned for Genesis the following year, although Caryl was not successful
Highlights include a trio of psychedelic tunes: "Guide Me, Orion", "Earthglow" and the "Weightless" There are also some nice inspired harmonies on compositions like "Changes" and "Pulsar".
You can anticipate a journey with the music that is ARK 2. You will discover that, though circumstances change, man's dilemma does not. He is still capable of creating beauty as well as despair, still capable of nostalgia and lust, anger and love. And above all, those qualities which may save him for another ten thousand years: humour, irreverance and wit. At the end of your 45 minute preview perhaps you will discover that you can still like man, admire him even. You will hope he makes it. This, then, is man's last trip.
