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.

LOOKS & PLAYS MINT CLEAN
1971 BRUTAL HEAVINESS!!!
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING !
BUDGIE
SQUAWK
\ USA - KAPP Records - KS 3669
MINTY CLEAN all over !
ALL AROUND "NICE" COLLECTIBLE FIRST pressing of the SECOND 1971 BUDGIE album on the scarce KAPP Records label ... Budgie are coming on strong picking up where they left off in album #1 ...the heavy racks rate up theer with Sabbath and the like....
The flight of the Budgie continues, with next to no changes compared to the debut. There are some really ace smashers on the album like opener "Whiskey River" and "Hot as A Docker's Armpit", bluesy distorted amplified guitar, double bass drum treatments and the explosive-tight rhythms give a good ride. The whole album is solid, but if one has to pick...Here are SIX good reasons to stick this thriller into your gear: 1. Whiskey River kicks of the album in almost exactly the same way as Guts on their FIRST Lp. The direction is driving hard... take a chugging riff of Whole Lotta Love , add some heavily-distorted throbbing basslines, add great and fast guitar licks - Burke Shelley's voice is excellent here and the track is nothing short of a defining moment. 2.Rocking Man - Almost in the same style as the opener, hard rocking riff after hard rocking riff, it could easily stand up to what Black Sabbath was doing around the same time. The drug-induced beat is always there, as there are hints of stoner rock already in the music. Excellent follow-up, with intense instrumental interplay. 3. Hot as the Dockor's Armpit - Possibly the greatest unrealized song title ever, the album stays in pace with this song. The heavy riffing is excellent and sinister at the same time. Dark basslines are always underneath the great drumming and guitar playing, as Shelley screams his feelings with excellent vocal harmonies and vocal line. Steady beats from Ray Phillips are underappreciated, but truely excellent. A classic track on so many standards. 4. Drugstore Woman - A hard rocker that keeps up with the others above - heavily inspired blues jams. 5. Young is the World - a rush of ideas flow. An excellent epic type of track, the song showcases the incredible instrument interplay of Bourge, Shelley, and Phillips. The shimmering constrasts are obvious, as the acoustic guitar slowly gives way to excellent electric guitar and atmospheric mellotron throughout the track. Shelley's vocal lines are near perfection. Some of the most progressive music can be found in a band that is not exactly progressive... 6. Stranded - An excellent closing mini-epic of blues and infiltrationing heavy-intense rock are found within the song. The guitar playing is near thrash at times and is easily some of Bourges best playing. Drumming from Phillips is near perfection, as he sets the beat perfect and adds some great fills and rolls that make the track even more intresting. Great vocal harmonies that jump right off the cliff make the track more interesting. This cut surely is a Budgie classic. - Tony Bourge / Acoustic Guitar, Lead Guitar, Vocals- Ray Phillips / Drums
