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. 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 become 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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

ONE of the best Five Americans' albums...
Scarce advance PROMOTIONAL 1968 original vinyl pressing... As it went, by 1968 our Five Americans got hold of a fuzz-tone to accompany their guitarist and the bands sound grew harder and tougher...
The hits kept on coming from heroic Dallas fivesome the Five Americans with their third longplayer, 1968’s Progressions. Both "Zip Code" and "Evol–Not Love" careened up the charts as the Five Americans squared off on live stages throughout the Deep South with the Doors and Jefferson Airplane— and more than held their own against the best American rock ’n’ roll had to offer.
The Five Americans' third album, Progressions, lives up to its title. The group, which had gained success with the pounding garage rocker "I Saw the Light" and the infectious shakin' hit "Westurn Union," began to show some real artistic growth as they stretched out and explored new sounds. Some of the tracks sound like more assured versions of their earlier efforts — the catchy "Zip Code" (the attempted follow-up to "Westurn Union"), the Byrds-like folk-rock of "(But Not) Today," the sparkling poprock of "Stop-Light" — but mostly they incorporate some harder guitar rock, like on "Black Is White — Day Is Night," as well, the Kinks-y baroque pop psych on "Rain Maker," and blue-eyed garage-soul on "Come on Up." They ditched the too slick sound some groups get saddled with while taking over the production chores themselves -- and did a fine job of creating a full and rich sound with just enough experimentation to keep things unpredictable. Progressions is a substantial leap of quality for the group; with the right push, it could have been big. Instead it is a hidden gem that fans of fine '60s garage fans should seek out and groove to.
