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!

The "DEAD MAN" Lp by Josefus remains one of the most sought hard garage fuzz jammers of the sixties...
Having played together in the Houston, Texas-based United Gas, in the wake of the band's collapse, singer Pete Bailey and guitarist Dave Mitchell decided to continue their musical collaboration. Adding drummer Doug Tull and bassist Ray Turner the the line up, the band initially attracted the attention of producer Jim Musil. Musil trucked the band to Arizona where he financed a series of demos under the name Come. Unable to interest a major label in the results (Frank Zappa's Straight label was reportedly briefly interested), the tapes were shelved; the band returning to Houston.
As Josefus, the quartet began playing Houston's local club scene. Unable to attract the attention of a label, the decided to record and release an album on their own Hookah label (the label symbol was a Turkish water pipe). Reportedly recorded in a single eight hour period, with a second day to mix, 1970's self-produced "Dead Man" proved surprisingly accomplished. With the exception of a manic cover of The Stones "Gimmie Shelter", the collection featured all original, group-penned material. Propelled by Bailey's outrageous manic vocals and Mitchell's raw fuzzed-up guitar, the set found the quartet blasting their way through a mix of bluesy ("I Need a Woman") and hard rock ("Crazy Man"). Highlights included their wild cover of The Stones' "Gimmie Shelter" and the 17 minute psychedelic meltdown title track ("Dead Man"). Pete Bailey's high tortured vocals owed much to the Robert Plant school, and the songs are built around crunching riffs. Highlights include the forever greatness of "CRAZY MAN" "Proposition" "Situation" ...though, the album on the whole has no weak tracks and is considered a monster of the genre ...as a result it is widely sought after by collectors...

CONDITION: The Cover: rated: VG++ solid & thick colorful cardboard cover has no more than a 'touch' of wear that is overall minor. The seams are extremely strong, the structure is 100% flat & square with 4 sharp corners. This 1970 first pressing has been professionally laminated (no seams are visual on front or back cover.) The lamination technique is nothing short of amazing. Overall the cover looks as nice as the photo you see... all said, a worthwhile keeper with only some very light shelf wear, otherwise strong and solid = no split seams, no writing, no delete marks...Hall of fame USA FUZZ-PSYCH GIANT...
The Vinyl: glossy over both sides, rated: side one: M- side two: VG++ stray light scuffs, nothing close to deep, so plays great throughout, still worthy as a play copy & collection rarity with mint copies climbing up to and over the four figures mark (we sold a M- copy for $1100. several years back) so take it from there... both HOOKAH labels are clean.
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
