Description
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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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.

TOP COPY
This is a very scarce limited edition EXACT reissue of the MONSTER rated
1971 Psychedelic Hard-rock jammer with qualities as wide as the Beatles to the Pretty Things , Krautrock, killer UK psych-sound & progressive sounds ... you don't want to miss!
- Cosmic Dealer was formed in 1968, and were one of the most gifted bands, among the rich psychedelic scene in the Netherlands. Their only album, Crystallization, is considered to be an underground classic ~ copies changing hands among collectors for $huge$ sums.
Containing powerful heavy rock along with softer acoustic sections and some sublime three-part harmonies, all of the highest caliber.
Highlights include the magnificent Child Of The Golden Sun, the West Coast-flavored If There Is Nothing Behind The Hills and the mesmeric title track, which demonstrates that psychedelic rock was still very much alive and well in the Netherlands in 1971.
- This fine band is really a one rare heavy prog psych band. Actually, it wouldn't be true if you would call them just "progressive", because they mix in psychedelic rock, hard rock with a little bit of taste of krautrock. On some songs they sound like brainchild of early Jethro Tull, somewhere they're totally 60s hippie psychedelia and somewhere, they're outstanding hard rock. First few songs (Daybreak, Child Of Golden Sun, Swingin' Joe Brown, I Had A Friend) are pure progressive rock classic sound, having flute in most of their songs, kicking with solid rhythm and jamming guitar riffs and solos. "I Have A Dream" is only exception of these totally-prog songs, it's prog-folky tune with gently acoustic guitar and flowing nicely. Title track, "Crystallization" are one of those transcendental psych songs to trip to. Mellow drum patter and bass fills are similar to Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross", but this song is nothing like "Albatross" - except it's chillful nature. Some hard psych rock tunes captivate this gem (The Scene, Find Your Way, Flying In The Winter, Head In The Clouds), and includes terrific psychedelic tracks too (The Fly, Crystallization, Illusions). This album is definitely recommended to any heavy psych-prog fans and anyone who likes blendings of hard, prog and psych rock.
