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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. 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 8000 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

USA - MCA Special Products 734586
Original 1969 first and only pressing issued by Philco who was a pioneer in battery, radio, and television production. The Philco brand was owned by Philips and this album was a PROMOTIONAL of sorts. It has always been hard to find. As a result we seldom ever offer it,
The album is extremely desirable when featuring The Who and The Strawberry Alarm Clock. The album iwas a limited edition promotional album pressed around 1969 by MCA for Philco. One side of the album features songs by the Who, while side 2 has songs by Strawberry Alarm Clock.
The Who songs on Double Star Series span the band’s first three albums 1965-1967: “Happy Jack”, “Bucket T”, “So Sad About Us”, “I Can See For Miles”, and “Out In The Street”. All of the Strawberry Alarm Clock songs, for some reason, come from the band’s GREAT second album "Wake Up… It’s Tomorrow" (1968). Oddly, the hit song “Tomorrow” — that LP’s most obvious choice for a record company in an anthologizing mood — is not included; the song selection on Double Star Series are psychedelic at best, and, from a Strawberry Alarm Clock fan’s point of view, pretty awesome.
The front cover art is a painted collage of band shots; the SAC painting (the half of it visible) is the same one from the 1971 rare Changes Lp, seen on that album in its fuller form.
The Double Star Series Who/SAC album is quite hard to find these days; if looking, remember that it is often classified under The Who, a band with an undeniably larger stature.
