UNKNOWN BAND "UNKNOWN (2 SONGS)" LP

ORIGINAL 1960'S (?) 7" ACETATE ON BLANK WHITE LABEL, STEREO

VINYL IS CLEAN, PLAYS VG+

Well, if ever you should let a song speak for itself, THIS is the case here.  And you're gonna HAVE to, because this totally blank white label acetate gives you absolutely NO information on who's responsible for it.  But that won't stop me from guessing.  I'm surmising it's from the 60's, like the previous owner did, and that's because one of the songs has a distinct late 60's heavy British psych vibe - like Mighty Baby or May Blitz, say.  Again, no titles listed, so lemme guess that THAT song probably might have been called something like "In The Blue Sea It Seems" or "Living In My Precious Time," and that's judging from the lyrics.  It starts out with a twinkling music box melody similar to Genesis' "Musical Box," until a great bellowing acid-fried wah wah guitar suddenly starts wailing and those great late 60's stoned echoed-out vocals kick in.  The other side, tentatively titled "Freedom, I Love You" which seems to be the recurring lyric, is a great mellow mind-blower.  It starts with echoplex raindrop guitar, hand drums and piano, then an orchestra (!!!) comes in giving it a "Madman Across the Water" vibe (so maybe this is early Seventies then??), and add in some dirty fuzz guitar and the only vocals - "Freedom, I love you..."  Wish I could tell you more but hey, just click on those sound clips and maybe someone out there can tell me WHO is behind these songs and WHEN they were recorded.  This is clearly NOT lo-fi homemade stuff here - this is top notch well recorded and fully realized psych material, two AMAZING head-spinners that, if they haven't been released yet, really REALLY need to be.  And the band needs a new agent.

The less exciting stuff

Media mail shipping with delivery confirmation starts at $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping.  I accept payments through Paypal. 

I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it.  Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves.  But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on. 

SHIPPING AND PACKAGING

Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package.  I hate that too.  So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s.  And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums).  I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job.  But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts. 

 For more security and international tracking, you may request GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL - but bear in mind the cost of this service is upwards of $30.  For expensive items, however, it may be well worth it.  Unfortunately, there isn’t a cost-effective way of tracking parcels to foreign countries yet, and shipping times vary depending on your country’s postal system.   Italy in particular seems to be really bad at delivering packages quickly, or delivering packages at all, now that you mention it.  I will always email you when your package ships, but once it’s on its way, please don’t ask me when it will arrive because I don’t know.  If the world’s postal systems can ever agree on a universal tracking system that’s affordable, I’ll be the first to use it.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…

I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return.  All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction.  Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong.  You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed.  If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
