ATTENTION
Please carefully read our entire listing to answer any questions you may have, including shipping rates; then contact us directly with any other information you may need.
WITH MUCH APPRECIATION TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS: If you have a question on orders received, please contact us. We take Customer Service seriously, and we want you to be satisfied. When leaving Feedback, please consider the following: eBay's policy on the 5-star rating system is anything less than a 5 reduces our standing with eBay and ultimately can prohibit us from selling if we hit 4.6 across the board. Ridiculous, but true.
Please help us strive for 5 stars through your feedback so we may 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.
Another eBay tyrannic rule is they require us to say we prefer PayPal. In reality, WE PREFER ANY FORM OF PAYMENT THAT IS CONVENIENT FOR YOU!
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.
As always, thank you for your support!
RARE & SOUGHT *VINTAGE* UK COLLECTIBLE
SYD BARRETT
The Madcap Laughs
UK - Harvest (black & silver) - SHVL 765
BEAUTIFUL Minty old vintage British vinyl pressing with lavish laminated gatefold sleeve, recorded in 1970 represents the first vinyl appearance of Syd Barrett since he left his Pink Floyd band a couple years before...the album contains his fellow Floyd members...
Syd's first solo album after being unceremoniously disposed of by the FLOYD, is an attempt by his producers (Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters) to harvest what genius Syd had left in him. The result is naked beauty, in all its imperfections. David Bowie counts "Madcap" as one of his inspirations.
Many of the tunes present are works of marvel. Psychedelic adventures of a turtle ('Terrapin') fit right alongside lilting, almost ragtime, English 60's pop ('Love You'). Many of the songs present could have found a home on FLOYD's "Piper At The Gates of Dawn" as they have a lot in common with the likes of 'Lucifer Sam' and 'Flaming'.
Syd is at his absolute creative best on songs like 'Octopus', 'Long Gone', 'Dark Globe' and 'Late Night' and any who appreciate the wild, whimsical, yet haunting work of Syd from Piper At The Gates Of Dawn will truly appreciate these works. With 'Octopus' being just as excellent as 'See Emilly Play' or 'Arnold Layne'.
Certain songs are truly painful to hear, as it is clear that Syd is starting to lose his battle with mental illness / reality.
Neil Young once wrote "it's better to burn out, than to fade away." This is the album where Syd begins to burn away, his music literally consuming him from within.
