Kak, one of the most highly regarded psychedelic hard rock groups of all time.

None of the plodding riffs, histrionic vocal stylings, or blues posturing that plagued many similar groups of this era mar this collection of melodic, tasteful progressive hard rock (as well as some mellower country-rock songs). Leader and main songwriter Gary Yoder would eventually join Blue Cheer and add his distinctive stamp to that band's sound.

I purchased this album in southern California during one of the many outdoor record conventions near Long Beach in 1982 so I know its pedigree.

I've been collecting records for over thirty years and am aware of the variety of grading philosophies that abound, including the "Goldmine" standard.

My records are graded by traditional Goldmine standards. I don't sell records with a grading of less VG unless it is obscenely rare in any condition.

Most of my records will grade from VG+ to M- with a conservative approach that dictates a borderline record will receive a lower grading rather than a "push" higher. 

M- / Visually without blemishes save for very minor lines or scuffs that are most likely attributable to sleeve marks, Sonically with no or virtually no sound other than that of the recording itself (no pops,crackles, ticks or hissing).

VG+ / More obvious visual signs of imperfections, pressing imperfections (bubbles for example, that do not impact play quality) light "skid" marks that can be seen but not "felt", some perceptable noise between tracks or at lead in, general sound  quality during play is uncompromised.

VG / Recording is visually and sonically of high quality, without skips or excessive noise during playback.

In some extreme instances I will submit a grading of R.M.F. (which means Rare Musical Find) to advise it is something special to consider.

Vinyl and Jackets are graded within these same general guidlines.

All specific areas of concern are noted to the best of my ability.

I try to insure all records are play graded (which I believe most collectors rate the higher priority) by spot checking areas that may be questionable and generally checking for quality overall.

I may make errors in grading and if it should occur I will make every effort to ensure you are completely satisfied with your purchase.

I ship worldwide, however those outside of the United States and Canada must pay via PayPal.

Personal Checks require approximately two (2) days after deposit to clear.

I invite questions and will respond in a timely manner.

Insurance is not included although highly recommended to avoid debates that may occur without it (mis-directed package, damaged item, etc.)

Shipping to the 50 states is a flat $4.50 USPS Media Mail rate by estimating this item between 1-2 pounds. Rates increase as package weight increases. This includes custom packaging for the safe delivery of your item.

I usually ship within two (2) days after payment is received.

Shipping elsewhere will be quoted at the end of the auction and will be destination dependant. Most overseas shippments will be done via Airmail Letter Post which is cost effective and a relatively fast delivery turnaround.
