In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

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 18,000 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. 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!

FINAL COLLECTION COPY
Hard to find!
Original 1969 FIRST PRINT on the superior HOR-ZU high quality thick German pressing!
- Features the completely far better different group photos cover over the terrible USA cover design. Bozo's with the American (Dunhill Records) label didn't have a clue, visuals are everything.
- Not so with "Hor-zu" Germany known for their terrific sound-performance smaller pressing releases from the original metal master recording.
-
Released in 1969 by major label from direct 1967 soundboard recording. Much better than remembered and a great one for
- re-discovery or first time listen ~~
- Live in San Francisco back when , all members of STEPPENWOLF called themselves THE SPARROW ...
- Just months later they changed their name to Steppenwolf ... and the reason this album goes by Steppenwolf is to capitalize on their fame of the late 60's, but it's really the Sparrow, all Steppenwolf members...
- You'll find them highly electrified here, burning the blues, fuzzed-up & howling...
*** You won't find a better copy from over 50 years ago !
- Before Steppenwolf was formed in 1967 several of it’s members had been in the Canadian rock band known as the “Sparrow”.
- The Sparrow had migrated from Toronto, to New York City to Los Angeles, and finally to the San Francisco bay area. Amongst various venues there, which included the Avalon and Fillmore ballrooms, the Sparrow played a club called the Matrix. In 1967, unbeknownst to the group, the club manager recorded a couple of the Sparrow shows. These recordings were released by ABC Dunhill in 1969 because STEPPENWOLF were busy touring and were not ready for the next studio album. While the recording quality of the “Early Steppenwolf” is raw, it is very clear, and captures the band exactly as they sounded -- in all their glory ... and contains a wealth of cool garage blues tunes and what is truly a collectors item, a side long 20 minute psychedelic version of “The Pusher.
