Following on from the Walkin' With Jesus single, Transparent Radiation was as crucial a step in the transformation of Spacemen 3 into a truly unique band, heralding the upcoming Perfect Prescription album in just the right way. The core of the single was two different takes on the title cut, a gentle cover of the Red Krayola psych classic, drumming barely there, with guest violin from Owen John. The first take features double-tracked vocals and sudden bursts of higher volume, while the second is the full version from Perfect Prescription itself, with a longer instrumental beginning. In between the two versions was an equally fascinating song, "Ecstasy Symphony," an instrumental drone/flange/feedback composition of textures by Sonic that's pure electronic bliss and float. Appearing only in an edited form on Perfect Prescription, here it's at its full sweeping length, including spoken word portions at the beginning and end by Sonic, plus violin from John.

Two more cuts filled out this striking (and practically album-length) release, the first being another song familiar from The Perfect Prescription, "Things'll Never Be the Same," here in a different version with clearer (or perhaps simply different) vocals and varying guitar solos. The final song, meanwhile, also visited someone else's material -- "Starship," the Sun Ra composition reworked by the MC5 and made famous via its appearance on Kick Out the Jams. Spacemen 3 do the song proud, kicking up a loud noise and then some with its halfway to freeform megasprawl.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
