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!

MINTY CLEAN ALL OVER
Sought After 1969 ORIGINAL!
The DOUGLAS FIR
\ USA - QUAD RECORDS - QUS 5002
TOP COPY ~~ MINTY CLEAN
SCARCE original 1969 first pressing sought after first pressing by this Pacific North West hippie quartet on the obscure Quad Records label, and they deliver an interesting blend of moody self composed, organ/guitar led tracks, with a bluesy feel...
1969's "Hard Heartsingin'" pulled together and polished off the band's earlier demos. There's a slight Doors influence and the opening title track and a couple of others sports a modest Jim Morrison and company resemblance. Sure, there's a dark and ominous feel to most of the ten original tracks (remember these guys were from Portland), but propelled by Snider's raspy voice and Doyle's Hammond B3 organ, original material such as 'Early In the Morning Rain', '21 Years' and 'New Orleans Queen' (complete with in-studio flubs) sported a cool blues-rock vibe. The album is quite listenable which is the reason for collectors scrambling to find a copy and stands as one of the better entries in the genre.
Quad Records actually floated a single 'Smokey Joe's' b/w 'Coming Back Home' (104) and while the 45 began to attract West Coast airplay, MGM subsequently decided to close down Quad Records leaving the band without support. They called it quits within a matter of months.
