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 become 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.

STILL FACTORY SEALED Original 1974 first pressing never opened.......

The MAMA LION BAND issued only a year later after the cage cover Mama Lion album....in the same vein, a hard rock affair featuring Neil Merryweather, chief member of MAMA LION....

This is either very hard rocking funk or very funky acid rock: nice thick bass and great guitar work mark this set. All tracks are strong, but pay particular attention to the take on "Sunshine Superman." & "Eight Miles High" a riviting impact number that will have more than a few grooving to....Neil Merryweather's main influence was Traffic (or was it Hendrix?), and yeah, it's easy to notice some overtones, but this is like Traffic on Mars, or maybe without the ego trip. The albums starts off with melody in 'Hollywood Boulevard', which resembles Bowie or Mott the Hoople - a good song that catches the listener with repeat plays. Then everything moves and starts mutating, oh man, this thing suddenly explodes come track four: if you thought Frank Marino was like a more heavy metal Hendrix, you need to listen to this! Guess the acid hit hard and took them by surprise right at that moment. Everything's epic, crazy, full of great solos and riffs, with more time changes than your usual Mars Voltas, and the closing track is just alien: it's like Philip K. Dick lost in Funkadelic's colorful-yet-nightmarish wilderness... Wow!
