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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. 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. 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; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

CLEAN 1967 ORIGINAL
LOS ANGELES GARAGE POPSIKE COLLECTIBLE
The MYSTIC ASTROLOGIC CRYSTAL BAND
\ USA - CAROLE - 8001 - stereo
RARE and MINTY CLEAN VINYL (see details below)
RARE original 1967 first pressing = the very first album by the MYSTIC ASTROLOGIC CRYSTAL BAND = a highly sought after underground GARAGE psych crew "Featuring Steve Hoffman" -- ALL in nice CLEAN condition...
A late-'60s Los Angeles psychedelic poprock outfit, the Mystic Astrologic Crystal Band were not as weird as their name indicated but did record groovy psychedelic laced pop-rock/garage tunes for the GNP label that emulated much of the form, of the Association, the Seeds, and much of the L.A. psychedelic rock scene that fell between these extremes. Steve Hoffman wrote all of the group's material. Their sound is so full of the West Coast groovy sound, it could only originate from California....Song by song the crafted coated psychedelia-pop grooves build by the layer, like putting bright colors on a spinning art wheel and having this album as a sound track to enhance to the sights ...and sounds.
Overall, the Lp can be compared to a more tripped-out version of "The Yellow Balloon" with leader Steve Hoffman's affection for the sitar and Mr. Grass' acidy production touches gave this a far more distinctive psych edge. Musically the collection was pretty much divided between the two genres, though Mr.Grass added interesting production touches to virtually every track - 'Early Dawn' shifted from great harmony rich popsike to a weird speaker to speaker phasing segment and then back again. Overall, the psychier tracks provided the album highlights. Among the more interesting numbers are the sitar propelled 'Factory Endeavor' (with an odd series of right to left and back fades), 'Barnyard Philosophy' and 'Publicly Inclined (To Blow Her Mind)'.
