SKULL-CRUSHING heavy prog psych JAMS on this one, from the Dutch underground circa 1972, with some much-needed respites of trippy floaty leftover hippie mystical jams between.  The cover's misleading, as it states "played by the group LIVE" - there are no groups named LIVE on here, and this was still decades before Ed Kowalczyk's band.  Side 1 features just 2 tracks, both by Pugh's Place (and recorded live during their farewell concert at Amsterdam's Paradisio), a storming crunching Diplodocus-in-heat take on the Beatles' "Every Little Thing" that uses Yes's cover for reference - and features some AMAZING guitar pyrotechnics - and an 11:30 take on Deep Purple's "Child in Time" - which is only fair since Deep Purple weren't exactly known for their in-concert brevity either.  Side 2 gives us some trippy mystical Pink Floyd stoner jams courtesy of the aptly-named Children of Jubal.  And don't rule out Rick and Dave due to their crappy soul club band name (no, they don't cover "Soul Man"), their "Song of a  Wobsal at the Pow-Wow" (now there's a title for the ages) is a very freakish little synth instrumental that's got its hogweed-covered feet firmly planted in Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot-era Genesis.  They were American boys, says the liners, living in Friesland, an "an album by them will soon be released on Universe records."  Yeah, okay, don't hold yer breath on that one, boys.  This remains their sole recorded legacy, and the same goes for Children of Jubal.  And it comes along as often as a comedy gig for Carol Leifer.  Grab it while you can!

HEAR IT!

PLEASE NOTE I NO LONGER SHIP TO ITALY DUE TO A CORRUPT POSTAL SYSTEM (THERE, NOT HERE).  BUYERS FROM ITALY AGREE TO PAY FOR GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL INSURED ONLY!

The less exciting stuff

Media mail shipping with delivery confirmation starts at $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping.  Overseas shipping has, unfortunately, gone way up in the fast few months, which translates to $15 for the first LP to Canada ($3 each one thereafter) and $24 for the first LP everywhere else in the world, with each add'l LP an extra $5 (so it pays to buy more, nudge nudge wink wink).   I accept payments through Paypal. 

I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it.  Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves.  But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on. 

SHIPPING AND PACKAGING

Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package.  I hate that too.  So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s.  And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums).  I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job.  But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts. 

 For more security and international tracking, you may request GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL - but bear in mind the cost of this service is upwards of $30.  For expensive items, however, it may be well worth it.  Unfortunately, there isn’t a cost-effective way of tracking parcels to foreign countries yet, and shipping times vary depending on your country’s postal system.   Italy in particular seems to be really bad at delivering packages quickly, or delivering packages at all, now that you mention it.  I will always email you when your package ships, but once it’s on its way, please don’t ask me when it will arrive because I don’t know.  If the world’s postal systems can ever agree on a universal tracking system that’s affordable, I’ll be the first to use it.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…

I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return.  All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction.  Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong.  You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed.  If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
