For anybody looking for my next Vintage PSYCH LP Auction series:
I just ran out of time - too close to Holidays and I'm simply too slow at listing. I got halfway through the next upcoming group and saw that it would be AUCTIONS during Xmas shopping. Don't despair, I will have many more collectible vintage 60s and 70s Psych and related Rock LPs up for auction sometime in the New Year. I really thought I could get in another batch BEFORE December but they're only halfway ready.
CHECK BACK. Lots more GREAT PSYCH LP AUCTIONS coming again! 
.
For now, bringing many cool Vintage LPs (and a few CD Box sets)
perfect for Gift Giving - or to add to your own collection.
Here's a great one

The Salvation Army later famously changed name to The Three O'Clock for legal reasons, this is the debut album from Michael Quercio's psychedelic garage rock outfit, and pillar of L.A.'s PAISLEY UNDERGROUND scene. Featuring the classic, "She Turns to Flowers"; this is the seminal sound of that scene in the early '80s.
