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 16,800 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. 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!

MEGA RARE WHITE LABEL PROMO ADVANCED RELEASE
ORIGINAL 1968 advanced release PROMO first pressing in thick gatefold pressing, the legendary "Motherfuckers" uncensored revolutionary "motherfuckers" liner notes first pressing...on GOLD Elektra Records ~
The mighty FIVE's incinedary attack on the system, with the call out to R-I-S-E.....
Okay, here's the deal, this IS a first '68 PRE-RELEASE pressing designed for media review and radio station broadcast. To avoid public broadcast violation, Elektra issued a special promotional release, very limited, and sent to selected radio stations & media outlets. The "special" pre-released LP omitted the the famous battle cry "motherfuckers" avoiding airplay violations while promoting the then uncoming release of the album. However, the inside gatefold of the promo remained un-cut delivering the M.F.'r lines & pointed view of the call to revolution.
The original Elektra Records inner sleeve is included
"The MC5 not only talked about revolution, we believed it," guitarist Wayne Kramer recalled. "The part about destroying the government and taking over and shooting it out with the pigs and all that--that didn't work. But the other part about the concept of possibilities, the revolution of ideas--that has changed the world."
Indeed, the power of those ideas remains undiminished on the group's greatest album, its 1968 debut, "Kick Out the Jams."
"When the Detroit uprising jumped off, we thought the beginning of the end had arrived, and we were busy planning for the 'post-revolutionary construction' which would start with the victory of the insurrection," MC5 manager John Sinclair reflects -- "But the fantasy ended with the brutal suppression of the slave revolt in the streets and the gun-butts of the National Guard and U.S. Army troops who beat our door down and threatened to shoot us all on the spot." The musicians of the MC5 would later say that they'd always been less interested in fomenting revolution than in being a great rock band. And in the end, it was the MC5's music that was the most revolutionary.

...Absolute final collection copy!
The Vinyl: is all glossy all over, M- TOP COPY ...a beauty! Might have the slightest lightest of inner sleeve papers cuff, but virtually a killer M- copy, playing full Mint clean everywhere ... and with spotless-clean WHITE PROMO Elektra labels ...
