Eric Clapton once called Blue Cheer “probably the originators of heavy metal”.  Jim Morrison said they were “the single most powerful band I’ve ever seen”.  This band started performing in the late 60’s, emerging as a huge success with their cover of Eddie Cochran’s classic “Summertime Blues”.  They transformed it from a rock ‘n roll sound to a heavy metal psychedelic blaster.  The song has been identified as the first song in the heavy metal genre.  It is found on this, the group’s debut and most popular album.  Similar to the Led Zeppelin debut, these guys also took a couple of blues classics and made them into hard rock / heavy metal sounds.  This is a historic and stunning collection.  The album was released on Philips in 1968, number PHS 600-264.  This is the original stereo release of the album.  The vinyl still has its bright original luster though with multiple light paper scuffs, none of which significantly impact play.  It plays great with just light sporadic background noise.  The vinyl grades VG.  The album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear.  All seams are sharp, tight, and intact. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
