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.

RIGINAL 1970 FIRST PRESS
UNDERGROUND HARD ROCK COLLECTIBLE
THUNDERTREE
\ USA - ROULETTE RECORDS - SR 42038
RARE & SOUGHT ...Original 1970 first pressing of a formidable underground psych-rock collectible::::
In 1970 THUNDERTREE released their sole album for the Roulette label: a perfect example of the transition from psychedelia to hard-rock and early progressive sounds. Killer fuzzed out guitar, organ, powerful vocals. The THUNDERTREE album transgresses psychedelia and progressiv-ism. It's now becoming a highly sought collectable and is only getting harder to find. The medley on Side Two is full of variety and interest but the highlights are the opening cut, Head Embers, which has lots of good fuzzz guitar work and the mildly psychedelic, At The Top Of The Stairs. There are lots of ideas on this album and if you're into psychedelic guitar and keyboards this is one for you.The band evolved out of "The Good Idea." When that band had split in 1969, John Miesen landed a deal with Roulette on the basis of an unreleased The Good Idea track, 12:25, which was used for one side of the Thundertree album. The emphasis is very much on pretty solid self composed tunes structured by psych guitar and organ, and generally the album bristles with new ideas and innovation. Strangely, given that most of the band's songs were written by Miesen, he has disappeared without trace, while Hallquist went on to record two solo albums under the name of Persephone Billy, both of which, with their pleasant, dreamy folk-rock style, have become minor collectables in their own right.
