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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. 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. 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 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. 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

★★★★★★★★★★ The power trio SPACE FARM from New Zealand was founded by the greatness that is, Harvey Mann (guitar, vocal), Billy Williams (bass), Glen Absolum (drums) in 1971.
Mann and Absolum previously played in a terrific blues rock band called The Underdogs making two albums...one a '69 styled Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac styled London blooze-boom album, and the early 70's Heavy Guitar Psych gem, "Wasting Our Time" - valued at hundred$ on global collectors markets.
The Underdogs then broke up and reformed as a similar power guitar trio, calling themselves SPACE FARM recording their only album in 1972 for the small independent label "Zodiac" - featuring heavy psychedelic space prog rock jammers filled with difficult guitar moves and some blues and prog templates showing an obvious Hendrix influence, and all the nifty guitar bombs & echo-plex wah-wah at the core of their self-penned nuggets, SPACE FARM's only album was titled "Going Home To Eternity" -yet- hard to figure, the LP
unfortunately was not well received by the public and therefore sold poorly.
Despite numerous successful concerts displaying their tremendous ability at the forefront of the underground movement, SPACE FARM finally broke up in 1973.
"Going Home To Eternity" ever-pressed in only a small number of copies is now a heavily sought-after worldwide; therefore very expensive, and rightly so!!

- CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: EX (excellent) fully laminated with the old-style "flap-back" seams from the sixties and well cared for over the past 52 years when realized the thin highly colorful cover shows only signs of light previous use, very thin ridge of sun fade seam(s) only, hardly noticeable, probably gonna be the best or only original '72 first New Zealand print one will ever find, it's that rare. Still dramatic bright colors, no delete marks, no split seams, and no writing and again, sixties styled "flap-back" seams
- The vinyl: Rated: EX (excellent) visually only a few wispy soft hair-type scuffs, still highly glossy both sides, so plays near M- beautifully/enjoyable audio and both New Zealand Zodiac labels are clean
