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.

'Alright On The Night'
UK - PURPLE RECORDS - TPSA 7510
Hard to find, 1973 BRITISH first press on the PURPLE Records label. Hard UK rockers TUCKY BUZZARD were actually British psychedelic act "THE END." Produced by Rolling Stones member Bill Wyman who also plays on the album.
From their mid-60s incarnation as The End through to a batch of early 70s albums, Stones bassist Bill Wyman masterminded the career of these British hard-rock'n merchants. Emerging from the ashes of '60s psychedelic crew The End (issued one expensive collectors LP), Buzzard's brand of definitively British Hard Rock and Boogie almost saw them take off in America at a time when many similarly-fashioned and lesser acts from the UK were finding a popular welcome in the U.S.
By the time their fourth album rolled around a couple of adjustments to their sound were made within "Alright On The Night." The arrangements and backing spice that populated some of the earlier releases were largely gone on this set ( a good thing). This time around the material was less blues based (also good). In fact, the focus was on rockers, and those tracks provide the album highlights. 'Rainbow Rider' is simply one of the best rockers the band ever recorded. Almost as good were the opener 'Can't Live without It' and the breezy Faces-like 'Rudie the Movie Star'. Terry Taylor may not have been the world's most original guitarist, but his playing was always tasteful and economical - the man never wasted space with needless solos. Similarly Jimmy Henderson wasn't the best singer you've ever encountered, but when he focused and avoided his over-singing urges, the man was impressive; check out 'Gold Medallions'. And then there was the band's overlooked catalyst - drummer Chris Johnson. With the exception of a needless solo at the end of 'Last War' his playing is simply impeccable.
