Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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.

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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 22+,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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.

- 1969 British Underground Rock ORIGINAL
- 1969 British-only long time collectible ... though founding leader Elmer Gantry had departed the main-stay VELVET OPERA carried on delivering diverse styles as overviewed below. Our rave-faves include the middle East exotic "Raga", "Statesboro Blues" and the most scorching guitar led "Elenor Rigby" you'll most likely ever hear. Plus a lot more settling in.
-
- The lineup of Hudson, Ford, Brett, and Joyce recorded Ride a Hustler’s Dream, released on CBS in 1969. It features 11 tracks with two songs apiece from Brett (“Ride a Hustler’s Dream,” “Warm Day In July”) and Ford (“Black Jack Davy,” “Depression”), plus two group compositions (“Money By,” “Don’t You Realize”), the Brett/Ford co-write “Anna Dance Square,” Hudson’s “Raga,” and two covers (the trad “Statesboro Blues,” the Beatles “Eleanor Rigby”). The back cover features liner notes by Chris Welch, a music writer for Melody Maker. Spark Records founder Barry Kingston handled production.
The album’s folksy, titular intro marks the change of sound, acoustic-blues style. “Money By” employs phasing over tight harmonies, bobbing bass, and staccato guitar figures. The knee-slapping “Black Jack Davy” is a bluegrass ditty with dueling acoustics and rootsy harmonica. A stately flute melody anchors the buzzing sitar layers of “Raga,” which gradually swells in rhythmic intensity. Another knee-slapper, “Anna Dance Square,” sets crude wah-guitar and gruff bass against restless fiddle (right channel). “Depression” makes light of its topic with a jolly Scrumpy and Western arrangement. The frantic “Don’t You Realize,” with its brisk bass runs and scything guitar breaks, is most evocative of Velvet Opera’s freakbeat past.
“Warm Day July” counterpoints pizzicato acoustics and light, airy flute through a multi-movement structure, anticipating the upcoming folk-psych of Synanthesia and Jan Dukes de Grey (even the lighter side of early King Crimson). Brett would further explore this style on subsequent endeavors. They render “Eleonore Rigby” sans vocals in brisk shredder mode with unstoppable drum fills, thundering bass and tight, searing guitar licks; apropos to Love Sculpture‘s proto-speed-metal take on “Sabre Dance.”
