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 became 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!

RARE CLEAN 1972 WHITE LABEL PROMO!

AVANT GARDE MESH OF INFECTIOUS CHARMING PSYCH PROG & SONG MIXTURES

ROXY MUSIC

\ USA - REPRISE RECORDS - WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL = MS 2114

MINTY CLEAN...

VERY Rare as an original 1972 advance released WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL in thick gatefold cover...the timelessly excellent first Roxy Music album, with ENO...

<><><><><><><><><><>><>><><>><>>>><><>>><><><><><><><><><><><>

Old early 70's white label promotionals (such as this) are eagerly hunted down by collectors in that these white label issues were very limited and pressed from the freshly cut masters -- retaining the best sound quality...

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

A strange hybrid of infectious terrific compositions; groovy rockers mixed with space-age prog/psych slashes. Standouts include the classics "Virginia Plain" (their first UK hit single), the haunting psychy "Sea Breezes" and "2HB."

Roxy Music shimmers with seductive style and pulsates with disturbing synthetic textures. Although no musician demonstrates much technical skill at this point, they are driven by boundless imagination -- Brian Eno's synthesized "treatments" exploit electronic instruments as electronics, instead of trying to shoehorn them into conventional acoustic patterns. Similarly, Bryan Ferry finds that his vampiric croon is at its most effective when it twists conventional melodies, Phil Manzanera's guitar is terse and unpredictable, while Andy Mackay's reeds subverts rock & roll clichés by alternating R&B honking with atonal flourishes. But what makes Roxy Music such a confident, astonishing debut is how these primitive avant-garde tendencies are married to full-fledged songs, whether it's the free-form, structure-bending "Remake/Remodel" or the sleek glam of "Virginia Plain." That was the trick that elevated Roxy Music from an art school project to the most adventurous rock band of the early '70s.

This is a must-own.
