Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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.

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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +22,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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.

1970 MASTERPIECE UK POP-PSYCH- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- NIRVANA
- "To Markos III"

- USA - METROMEDIA - (MD 101)- White Label PROMO
The album is full of some of the most lush and beautiful songs that the duo ever wrote.The real strength comes from songs like "Black Flower" and "Illinois" ...Elsewhere standouts are soaked in the glow with'The World Is Cold Without You', 'I Talk to My Room', and 'Tres, Tres Bien' . Alex Spyropolous left after this album and the bands recordings arguably never reached these standards again. If you liked the first two NIRVANA albums you will probably like this.
As stated, this is a USA only release on Metromedia Records ...This is the same label that was an experiment on music promotion by the MetroMedia communications conglomerate. The label never managed to properly promote any of their acts including the highly sought "Christopher", California prog band Gypsy, psych band the Astral Projection, and other similar underground rock gems. The label folded not long after this Nirvana release and the album as well had only a limited run and is pretty much impossible to find today getting three $$$ figure sums on collectors market.
This is a cohesive album of sorts, with most of the tracks centering on themes of love, love lost, and yearning. One exception is the West Coast pop-psych sounding 'Christopher Lucifer' ... Most of these songs are glorified pop with occasional light psych leanings in the harmonizing vocals and guitar work, and more importantly some solid arrangements on songs like the opening 'The World is Cold Without You', a particularly lush 'Aline Cherie' and the mellow-jazz track 'Love Suite' with layers of backing arrangements to augment classical string heavenly backdrop, lilting keys and female backing vocals. The Lp is filled with a penchant for complex pop-psych that was certainly at least comparable to similar works by the Beatles, ELO and even the Beach Boys circa the same period. Surely with some decent promotion some of these songs would have made decent singles and the album as a whole would have moved a respectable number of copies. Too bad, but for those who are interested in the bands legendary album from this period.
