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!

WHITE WITCH
USA -Capricorn - CP 0107
FINAL COLLECTION COPY !
ORIGINAL 1972 first pressing vinyl of the first White Witch album ...an interesting hybrid of hard rock, prog and spacerock. The excellent production brings clarity to the nimble drumming and organ/moog/guitar interplay. Lyrical concerns center on God and marijuana.
WHITE WITCH had a great stage show with a huge book that caught fire after the singer finished reading from it and lots of smoke and flashing lights. How many bands do a concept LP on their first release? The layered vocals of Ronn Goedert are brilliant. He does go a bit camp with his high wailing voice, but that same voice drops down & lays out some brilliant Beatle-esque vocals. Buddy Richardson bows his guitar & Pendergrass wraps that space moog around all of it.
As the story usually goes for unique bands that pushed the musical envelope in that era, especially those whose record company doesn't support the effort, the band recorded two albums for Capricorn then vanished without a trace. Their lyrics were indeed as venturesome as their music, with wildly-varying lyrical references that appeared to be leftovers from 1960s psychedelia.
It is rumored that the first album sold enough copies to qualify for an RIAA gold album, but the accounting was not done. The first album reportedly reached number 51 on the album charts and the single "And I'm Leaving" reportedly reached number #48 without any promotion from the record company. Both albums were released on CD in 1999 but quickly went out of print.
