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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1970 WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL VELVET UNDERGROUND DARK TRANCE HYPNOTIC
..
Nico
DESERTSHORE
USA - REPRISE RECORDS - RS 6424 = PROMOTIONAL COPY
MINT CLEAN ...with original printed inner sleeve
RARE ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL
Original grainy/textured 1970 FIRST PRESSING ... one of the *best* copies found "Desertshore" is not that different from Nico's previous album, "The Marble Index", but at the same time, it is. It's not as unexplainably apocalyptical as its predecessor, but it also shows a large variety of emotions and sounds.
Its opener, "Janitor of Lunacy", is a classic, and her voice is amazing and hypnotizing, and its melody is beautifully intense. Similar moments of intensity are "Abschied" and "Mutterlein", both sung in German, which for a non-speaker, sounds amazing.
We also have moments of vulerability and emotional frailty we didn't her on "The Marble Index", like "Afraid", "My Only Child" and the second half of "The Falconer". The kind-of-an-interlude "Le petit chevalier" is also cute (a word you don't usually use for Nico), with Nico's son, Ari, doing its vocals.
"Desertshore" also has its fair share of, well, lunacy, on pretty much all tracks, but specially the last track, "All That Is My Own", with obscure lyrics and very unusual sound effects. The album might not be as classical as "Chelsea Girl" or as ancient as "The Marble Index", but it's as good as both and as unique as both.
