Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. 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 became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HARVEY BROOKS OCCUPIES A UNIQUE PLACE in the history of electrified music.
As a “Fender” bassist coming up during the 1960s, the New York native played on several recordings that defined the decade’s tumultuous transition from folk to folk/rock, blues to blues/rock, and jazz to jazz/rock fusion. Invited by keyboardist Al Kooper to take part in the landmark sessions that produced Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited [Columbia, 1965], Brooks went on to tour with Dylan’s first electric band, sometimes to riotous crowds of enraged folkies. At one gig in Forest Hills, New York, “They charged the stage,” Brooks remembers. “Guards were tackling people, Al Kooper had his stool pulled out from under him. We didn’t know if they wanted to kill us or not!” Later in his career, while working as a producer for CBS Records, Brooks was tapped by Teo Macero to play on Miles Davis’ watershed electric jazz album Bitches Brew [Columbia, 1970]. “We just played in the studio for four days,” Harvey says. “The composition aspect all took place during the editing. Here I was, an R&B, folk/rock bass player—I didn’t know what I was supposed to do. There were no chord changes. Talk about epiphanies. I had one every minute!” Harvey’s big sound, confident pulse, and sense of swing supplied the underpinning for many classic moments with artists like the Doors, Electric Flag, Stephen Stills, and many others, to name a few.
