The ambitious work of the Osanna offshoot. The cover is the best I've seen in the last 10 years, with minimal sing of the storage, and the gimmick door is perfectly intact. It comes with an inner that has a few stains for ages, tiny rips, and staple marks, but it is neat without splits or tears. The record has some shallow surface lines but plays beautifully without affecting the sound!
Bottom seam about 4.5cm split from the opening edge; otherwise, the cover is still in shrink and in exceptional condition. The record has a small bruise mark on the last track of side two that absolutely does nothing. Other than that, there are a few inaudible superficial marks visible only under bright light, and it plays smoothly all the way through.
The cover has slight ring wear on the front and is moderately discolored with numerous light brown stains on the back. The top and bottom seams appear to have split from the opening edge, but the bottom seam has been temporarily@restored with glue. Upon reading this description, one might assume that the cover is quite worn. However, upon viewing it in person, it is just barely in acceptable condition and exhibits the appearance that comes with many years. There are several hairline marks on the record surface, yet they do not impact playback. Nonetheless, there is a minor scratch on the A-1 that produces brief periodic ticks. Aside from this, the playback quality is relatively good.
Amazingly, this 1990 limited release of a legendary 1970 recording is still selling for a lot of money, attributed to the exceptional quality of the music itself and the enchanting magic and aura of the Rockadelic release. Hand-numbered limited edition comes complete with a yellow sheet & photography.
Ultimately weird DIY high school project in New York. It contains primitive folk, an innocent girls' garage, and mysterious poetry readings. Still, to say the least, the highlights are concentrated in the avant-garde track with plenty of effects and tapes, and another odd instrumental track with out-of-tune fuzz and overheated organs.
Composer, saxophonist, and keyboardist Thomas Crawford launched his label in Maryland and released the album Crawford, a jazz-flavored soft rock album featuring male and female vocals that occasionally shows proto AOR moves. Afterward, Thomas Crawford significantly replaced the members and changed the band name to Thesda in 1979, releasing one album that is now a holy grail of rare groove and jazz funk.
Totally off-center, tripped out psych that pressed in only 200 copies by an astonishing teen band from Singapore. With primitive garage sounding, eccentric effects, brain-melting fuzz, and absurd songs. It's a very weird album that rivals Patron Saints!
Wild fuzz drenched psych with mesmerizing organ, in the same league as Hunger or Mystic Siva. The cover is neat, with only minimal shelf wear. The record is clean, but there's a light hairline on A-3 that creates a few minor background ticks. Nothing overwhelming to the music, though. Mostly, it plays Near Mint.
This self-released album marks the first of their career, featuring husband and wife duo from Xian psych First Revelation, plus the drummer from the extremely rare Blue Ridge. It contains numbing, distorted guitar, delivering spectacular solo leads. This is a unique piece of Jesus rock with fuzz galore.
Terrific Italian prog and jazz rock with some elements from Canterbury school. A great album without complaint. The gatefold cover has corner wear and a seam split, but remains presentable. Has a usual Peters International sticker on the rear cover.
Very flimsy unipak cover has some restoration spots with a black felt-tip, but not too remarkable. The upper spine and lower have fraying and tearing, but overall it still looks OK despite the fragile nature of material. The record has some light marks that barely affect playback. Plays throughout mostly fine without noticeable crackles.
This is a rather obscure outfit out of Illinois, not to be confused with another Demian from Texas. A conceptual album that is an uncommon mix of heavy acid rock and symphonic elements, with a bit of theatrical singing, which reminds me of VDGG, which is a rare case in the States. Still sealed, although the shrink is torn on the bottom left, and there is some wrinkling.
Despite being released on the Zebra label, a well-known German collectible label, this Danish jazz-rock band remains largely unknown. However, this album, bursting with tribal grooves and Zappa-esq elements here and there, is a hidden gem that's too good to be forgotten!
Their second release on the Vertigo Swirl label, famous for its special gimmick cover that requires careful storage. This is not Mint, but a very nice example for sure, with a few inevitable rubbings from the storage. One of the flaps, which is also the tail part of the deformed part, has a few folds near the bottom, but they are not very noticeable. These are the defects I found when I looked closely, but the front exterior is very clean with no noticeable imperfections at all. The record also has some light marks from the inner bag, but it looks and plays well. Comes with a Swirl inner. It's a rare opportunity to find one in such good condition, so don't miss it.
Here is one of the 85 promo copies made of a legendary heavy psych outfit from Cleveland, Ohio. The record has numerous marks and scratches. It looks worse than hell, but it is still enjoyable despite its condition. The worst part is the first track on each side, with many noticeable crackles and consistent clicks, but then the crackles get lower and less annoying. However, there are still random pops, ticks, and clicks. There are no distortions (except the famous defect spot on the master tape), no skips, or jumping. The labels are relatively clean. I don't expect a heavy bid, but please note that it is one of only 85 and the most sought-after psych record ever released in the States. It is indeed impossible to find an original copy under any conditions. Probably the last chance to get a playable copy at a much lower price if you wish to own the original.
Hippie drifting rural psych folk rock is housed in an odd-looking cover, but surprisingly, their music is strong and rather beautiful. In parts, it resembles Dr. Strangely Strange to my ears. The cover looks brand new and comes with an insert (a couple of creases).
This is an unfortunate German heavy prog rock outfit that has been known for a long time but has rarely received the proper review. There are no overwhelming jams like Orange Peel, no majestic structures or passages like 2066, and no fast-paced aggressive actions like Night Sun. However, with its strange heaviness, the inapposite church organ, the awkward sound productions that may or may not have been intentional, and the non-smooth vocals that don't feel the slightest bit smart, it unfolds a drug-influenced psychedelic music by accident. Although the tendencies are different, anyone who likes Supermull should be able to dig it.
