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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us.  Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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.  We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback.   We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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.

    :::::::: Original 1968 first pressing ::::::::

........................................................................................................
L I S T E N I N G have to be the most underappreciated group in the whole scene. Instrumentally jammed with weaving, gushing Hammond organ and acid guitar, add plus to the vocals and they were a top cohesive unit.

Michael Tschudin who seemed to be the leading force was an accomplished keyboard player and an inventive organist utilizing his Hammond B-2 with much skill. Bassist Walter Powers started with "The Lost" and ended up in many Boston groups up to the punk era. Guitarist Peter Malick, unbelievably only 16 at the time of this recording, was much too good to be in his teens. The album shows him highlighted all over the place. You can hear those blues riffs he would build on in his career playing with some blues legends (Otis Span, John Lee Hooker). Song structures in their 1968 LP are complicated. No three chord songs for these guys. They sound like they could be Berkeley grads. Lots of blues influences and complex riffing. They also had a Latin rhythm thing going at times and actually get into Santana style grooves once or twice. They also get into some spacey grooves. Always tasty and controlled even in their ‘stoned’ jams that includes ‘phasing’ on some cuts. Local legend Willie ‘Loco’ Alexander from the Lost gets on a cut. The album cover is another reminder of the Boss-town Sound days. It is a picture of them playing at the Esplanade’s Hatch Shell in Boston during a Boss-town Sound rock concert. One track from the album, Stoned Is has also resurfaced on Marijuana Unknowns Compilation from many years ago.

CONDITION: The cover: Rated: rated: VG+(+) = All around solid, with (per usual to virtually all copies) a bit of light wear at top center and slightly on back (black) cover. Still all-over very stiff/rigid everywhere and retains full original fresh colors ... it's 50 years onward and highly wanted, so spare copies only turn up every once in awhile.  There are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ... collection worthy rarity   

The vinyl: Rated: M- clean shine both sides, a 'rare' TOP COPY, so expect plays grade at top level without audio distraction. Both Vanguard labels are clean

                  

   A cool addition to anyone's music library!
