AND COUNTRY JOE MCDONALD SIGNED THIS ONE! 

FAST Shipping too!

From the heart of a life-long music-lover... the Country Joe McDonald signing:

> “Loved the first album & saw the original band in Rhode Island. I joined the Intergalactic Fish Fan Club by mail.
Continued to admire Joe over the years before meeting him in Berkeley. He played in People’s Park every year & did other local gigs.
So I brought my original vintage record one time for him to sign.
A truly fine fellow—I later sold copies of his self-published chapbook Navy Poems for him.
His Dad used to have a table on Telegraph selling his own book “An Old Guy Who Feels Good”.
In 2017 Joe & a crack band played in a Summer of Love street fest on Telegraph
— a note perfect complete rendition of the “Electric Music for The Mind & Body” album." - Stephen Ronan

 


Stephen Ronan is an artist poet musician who performed on KPFA and made recordings 

with Don Joyce of Negativland. His new wave era band, the original Red Aunts,performed in SF and Oakland and had local and widespread air play.

Later band God Nose videos are pushing 100k views on YouTube.

An early Punk adherent, he became acquainted with many of the original figures and hosted book parties at City Lights bookstore by David Byrne and Laurie Anderson.

For a lark he began taking single sleeves to shows to get signed in 1978-98. "I would go to multiple shows a week often on the guest list."

The things offered here were almost all signed at shows at peak popularity, in person with cordial chats that sometimes led to hanging out.

A life in music including study with Archie Shepp and others recognized for his poetry and his scholarship on the Beat Generation, Ronan compiled and published the first comprehensive annotated discography of the Beat era, Disks of the Gone World in 1996.

He produced 3 box sets on the Beats for Rhino and he was an historical consultant on The Source, The Beat Gen X. Chuck Workman and appears in the film, which heavily depended on his legendary archives which are credited onscreen.

His radio programs were distributed on cassette by ARTWARE of Wiesbaden Germany. He Interviewed The Residents, Negativland and others for for Mondo 2000 magazine in the 1990s.

He delivered a paper at the Stanford Conference on Bob Dylan in 1998. Dylan management had the Conference professionally videotaped and it's available for viewing at Stanford library.

I have been collecting/buying/selling records since 1967.

 I am like you--I love music, and our goal is for you to be satisfied above all.

 We run a buyer-friendly site here: all the records we sell are guaranteed to be as advertised, and come with the original paper liners whenever possible.

 We mail your records right away, with the record in a separate sleeve outside the cover in plastic outersleeve inside sturdy record mailers.

 I grade conservatively, and if you do not agree with my judgement, you are most welcome to return the record for a full refund. 

Grading Scale:

M (mint) Record is new, shiny, never played. A Mint cover would be flawless. 
M- (mint minus) Record is like new, probably played a few times, but it doesn't effect the quality of the sound. A Mint- cover would be nearly flawless, with only traces of wear. 
EX (excellent) Record in great shape, may have light marks, played more than a few times but little or no surface noise. An EX cover would show light wear, but nothing major. 
VG+ (very good plus) Record has been played more times, it has more marks and surface noise, but no skips.  A VG+ cover would show some wear. 
VG (very good) Record has been played many times, may be more surface noise, but it shouldn't skip while playing.  A VG cover would look worn.  
We sell neither junk nor junque.


Your Satisfaction Guaranteed.
