WITH MUCH APPRECIATION TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS: If you have a question on orders received, please contact us. We take Customer Service seriously, and we want you to be satisfied. When leaving Feedback, please consider the following: eBay's policy on the 5-star rating system is anything less than a 5 reduces our standing with eBay and ultimately can affect our selling abilities if we hit 4.6 across the board. Ridiculous, but true.
Please help us strive for 5 stars through your feedback so we may 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.
We mail all paid orders out once a week on Fridays/Saturdays. 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 to Monday. We strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. Please be aware we have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.
TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS: We are happy to hold orders to save on shipping. Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and, if you request, we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel.
As always, thank you for your support!

RARE, hard to find original August 28, 1966 first pressing of tripping hipster garage psych primates....
If you want to know about the Godz, the first thing you will want to ignore anyone who complains that they couldn't play their instruments. This music is lightning in a bottle. A crew of garage amateur 'heads' coming together with basically no musical "talent" and somehow creating a work of lasting impact and influence. Chances are you probably couldn't sit in a room with a bunch of your friends and pick up a bunch of strange instruments and somehow create a cohesive batch of songs with a distinctive sound. But the Godz did. And they will make you THINK that you can too! When listening to Godz, several subcultural movements come to mind: the beat-gen of the 50s, hippie psych of the 60s and early 70s, and the experimentalism of past eras. Sever bands come to mind: Captain Beefheart, and No Neck Blues Band -- raw, untrained, totally free. The way music is supposed to be. Don't listen to any reviews on certain all-comprehensive music sites about how Godz lacked technicality. Pure nonsense. When it comes to making music, no such thing as technical skills. You can argue that people who cannot play Godz's style lack technicality. For fans of No Neck Blues, Captain Beefheart's Magic Band, and The Shaggs. Clocking in at a hair over 25 minutes, Contact High is one tripped-out record. Opening with the track "White Cat Heat," which consists of avant-garde strummed acoustic guitars, arhythmic percussion, and Jim McCarthy and Larry Kessler screeching like a couple of, uh, cats in heat, it only gets weirder. Best tracks are "1+1 Equals ?" and the tranced "Lay in the Sun" (total lyrics: "All I want to do is lay in the sun"). For those who like their pop on the cutting edge, begin here and don't turn back...
1. White Cat Heat
2. Turn On
3. Na Na Naa
4. Eleve
5. 1+1 = ?
