Description

Welcome to Rock2FunkYourSoul's Rare Vinyl Auction! 150 records with particular focus this week on: Rock, Country, Folk, Psych, Bluegrass, Prog, Experimental, spanning mainly from the 1960's, 70's, and 80's! All pressings are original, I do not sell bootlegs, or reissues :) *If you want to combine shipping from soon to end items, and any item out of this auction, just send me message, it's no problem!


  • Vinyl Condition: NM (beautiful top copy!)
  • Cover Condition: NM (crisp!)
  • Year of Release: 1969
  • Record Label / Catalogue #: Bell Records BELL-6026
  • Additional Attributes: 1st press, stereo
  • Commentary (Something like the Beatles, Rush, etc. speak for themselves! This is a space for more obscure items, to provide a loving collector's notes, no dealer hype, just because a Xian private press has 5 seconds of fuzz guitar for example doesn't make it a psych grail out of acid archives or Pokora!)
Review: One of those slipped under the radar records, at first glance of the cover I figured it was middling cliché pop psych. Happily I was quite wrong.
Heavy Psych blues rock, like an even more heavy CREAM. 
B4 Smokestack Lightnin' is 12:55 (Chester Burnett, title track, heavy stuff, not a moment is wasted, it's one of those long jams that seems to go by quick because it's that good!)
They cover Willie Dixon, Ike Turner, an OST "Dreams of Glass" track, and A4 is a Mike James Kirkland cover!!!
Hal Blaine, Mike Deasy, Larry Knechtal, Sandy Zevon, Wild Bill Holman all on the session!
Ronnie Darling, on the back has a Howlin' Wolf LP on the Piano (in the artist photo!)
These guys are for real.
Bell's kind of cheesy cover art is probably why this got buried, their only release!
Check it, but if you know, you know! :)

My grading system comes from being a longtime collector myself, meaning conservative grading, and transparency :). NM EX VG+ VG VG- G+ 
Some terminology abbreviations: *DNAP = Does Not Affect Play *OIS = Original Inner Sleeve *WLP = White Label Promo
If a record is sealed, I will state "sealed" and presumed "mint", making sure it is flat, and such. Should a buyer win a sealed item, I am happy to unseal it for them upon request. 
Packing is done using LP mailers, record outside of jacket in polysleeve. All records that reach $30+ in final bidding will have a MoFi or similar high quality inner sleeve along with OIS (If OIS is applicable!) 
I have been collecting for about 20 years, and integrity is important to me; I want you to be proud and happy with your purchase, satisfied with accurate grading, and knowing you can have confidence in the record when bidding and purchasing.
At Rock2FunkYourJazzSoul we hope to have the honor of your business, and repeat business if another desired item comes up :)
Although the idea, practices is to absolutely avoid this for your satisfaction, if it happens, returns are accepted, money back, and for domestic purchasers in the US, the return shipping is on us. Everything possible is done to instead have an item you're completely satisfied with, but apart of integrity is standing by the customer, you. 
Please feel free to message with any questions, comments, concerns, and I will be happy to return a thorough, comprehensive response :)
*NOTE: PLEASE ALLOW FOR 5 DAY HANDLING TIME, I WILL ALWAYS INCLUDE TRACKING #*
If You Win Multiple Items Please Wait For My Invoice As I Will Combine Shipping To Be The Lowest Possible Cost For You :)

*NOTE ON CURRENT FEEDBACK: I have 1 negative feedback from a "buy it now" rare first edition book, from a partial refund troll, who refused full refund because they didn't want to return a book they admitted in the messaging was a great deal. eBay is currently adjudicating the matter, otherwise I have only positive feedback, check the one's left from my last vinyl sales for a good idea :)* - It's sad that this has happened, between Discogs, eBay, and selling at record conventions, I've never encountered this before. As someone who values integrity, I believe 99.9% of people are great, and will do good by others.
