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.

TOP COPY
RARE, 1971 original ... highly rated hard-rock rarity... this is the original German issue sporting a great laminated cover which reflects the heaviness within. The record was not released anywhere other than Germany.
Excalibur - "The First Album" original pressing, from Germany, Excalibur released their one and only album, titled appropriately as " The First Album " in 1971 and even though the band was essentially categorized as "krautrock," it is mostly of interest to those who have interest in the German twist on the Hard/Heavy-Rock style, even if they were British and thrust into the "Krautrock" scene. Impressive enough, the band got a contract with major-label Reprise, which should be an alert to the potential appeal the big label invested in.
A real solid example of "krautrock," - right, and very accessible, and with lots of catchy, uptempo material. Basically a mix of organ/guitar driven hard rock with some "krautrock" elements. Their style is a bit on the peak days of 1971-ish Deep Purple with both sides of the record sounding pretty entertaining. All of the songs are strong to decent and ultimately listenable. None of the tracks on this album sucks, which is naturally positive!
