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.

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 +22,000 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.

Jefferson Airplane took some time off to refuel after "Volunteers." Paul Kantner and Grace Slick used the break to release this revolutionary science fiction concept album, Blows Against The Empire.
Featuring cameos from various Airplane members, David Crosby, Graham Nash and three-fifths of the Grateful Dead,
"Blows..." was an all-star interstellar trip that suggested “The House at Pooneil Corner” on a grander cosmic scale. The idea of a new generation of revolutionaries seems to have inspired Kantner to write his own musical manifesto for the future.
"Blows..." is a brilliant album, even as it’s an overblown middle finger to the establishment much of the time. The transition from the opening call to arms, “Mau Mau (Amerikon),” to the disarming “The Baby Tree,” is genius. In those two songs, Kantner manages to paint a vivid new Utopia and then poke holes in his own Utopia moments later. Slick provides an equally brilliant brushstroke with the beautiful distortion of “Sunrise,” a song that anticipates the alien soundscapes of prog electronica being then created in Germany. "Blows Against The Empire" will feel familiar to anyone who has waded through Kantner’s 60's works. “Lets Go Together” isn’t different in spirit than “We Can Be Together” and makes a reference to “Wooden Ships” in the lyrics. But there’s the sense on this album that Kantner is finally free to make the kind of music he wanted to; when he sings on “Hijack” that “People with a clever plan can assume the role of the mighty and hijack the starship,” he might as well be singing about himself. As the culmination of Kanter’s science fiction short stories into a longer conceptual work, Airplane riders will definitely want to check this one out. Despite charting well on its release, "Blows Against The Empire" didn’t contain a hit single, yet the album is well worth revisiting, particularly if you’re still carrying a torch for the Airplane’s psychedelic sound tunes.
