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.

- ... TOP COPY 1970 FIRST ISSUE on the highly collected Transatlantic label from 51years ago ...
- Mick Farren's 1970 solo album Mona the Carnivorous Circus sounds like a deranged monster movie suite. An extended, heavy psychedelic jam with Wagnerian overtones or as its own author describes it, "a personal audio twilight of the gods." Recorded after Farren's dismissal from his band The Deviants, during the transition to a convulsed new decade, the album is empowered by a raw, despaired sense of sonic turbulence and epic magnitude; and in retrospective, it might well be the best Deviants album without the Deviants. A more muscular and matured sequel to the band's brilliant 1967 debut album Ptoof!.
Mona unfolds through a series of long electric grooves interspersed by voice cut-ups, interviews with a Hells Angel and Steve Took (of T. Rex), plus snippets of found sound. The record features two main themes, "Carnivorous Circus Part I and II," which is "intercut with a dubbed version of Hitler's speeches, backward tam-tams, Sabre jets in a power dive, a recurrent serial-murderer character, a chant of "who needs the egg?" and a gratuitous Eddie Cochran song" - all culminating in a 7 minute anarchic version of Bo Diddley's "Mona," enriched by wild percussion and juxtaposed Bartok-like descending cello lines in a joyful celebration of the primal heartbeat of rock 'n' roll.
Reflecting his anger and frustration towards his deserting band mates and the rapidly disintegrating youth movement in which he had taken an active role in (as editor and writer in International Times (IT) and later co-founder of the British version of the White Panthers Party), Mona rummages through a whole "When The Music's Over"-like dark landscape of enraged disappointment, mixed in with some of the same brand of fried-brain abandonment that permeates Kim Fowley's demented opus Outrageous - the only difference being that while Fowley didn't take drugs (according to himself, he didn't need to), Farren recorded his solo album in the aftermath of a heavy psychedelic meltdown.
Mona was also an ambitious artistic endeavor, as Farren proposed to deconstruct the whole idea of a rock & roll album by attempting to do the musical equivalent to William Burroughs' literary cut-up technique. How did he seek to achieve this? "Well," says Farren, "there's obvious stuff like cut-ups and random overlays, plus ultra-drug culture poetry, but I was also trying to replicate the nightsounds of Interzone. Which I hear in my head too much of the time." With Ptoof!, there was already a lot of sonic cut-and-paste, courtesy of engineer Jack Henry Moore, a sound collagist who had studied with John Cage and had introduced the band to such innovative techniques as running tape loops between two recorders and taking bits of found-sound from TV and radio. Mona takes these experiments a step further, out of early-Mothers of Invention terrain and into murky, uncharted territories.
