"Featuring luscious Lynn Carey and her bitch-in-heat vocals, Mama Lion debuted in 1972 with the release of the covers dominated Preserve Wildlife LP. The ten song blues rock recording, which opens with a three-minute remake of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine", showcases curvaceous Carey competently backed by bassist Neil Merryweather, guitarist Rick Gaxiola and drummer Coffi Hall. While Carey's Joplin-like pipes are incredibly strong, her over-the-top deliver detracts from the effort and become increasingly irritating with each track. The sultry front woman definitely went the right direction when she got down beyond the blues rolling Mama Lion, showing serious skin for an erotic Penthousephoto spread as the December of '72 "Pet of the Month".

Vinyl: NM. A truly remarkable barely or unplayed  vinyl. An album that went largely unnoticed but has now found its rightful appreciation with fans of psych and blues rock. This vinyl sounds out of this world. The audio has beautiful separation and there is no background noise. There are no spindle traces at all. Under a strong light I could only make out two of the wispiest paper retraction traces, most would not spot them. I played this in full on my high end Linn Sondek/ROTEL/B&W system and thoroughly enjoyed it. The audio had great depth and clarity, a true winner. I was even tempted to keep this as it will be very hard to find this again, it is indeed mega rare now. Needless to say NO jumps, clicks or ticks. This will be a fantastic upgrade for most long time collectors!!

Gatefold Gimmix sleeve: EX.  A great example of this rarely seen album. This is a fantastic sleeve without any major damage or splits. The colours are still very lively. The inside gate is also really nice. The edges have barely any wear at all , stunning. A really crisp sharp opening. No creases at all.. The spine is 100% legible. Two of the bars have come undone but reglued. One catalogue sticker to the rear. A tiny nick on the diecut. NO writing. Please inform yourself from the pictures. An enormously rare album now and not too many come up for auction these days.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next psych/blues rock album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price. this is barely ever offered.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 45.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
