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.

SCARCE and sought after 1970 first pressing slammin' hard and heavy ...these cats turn it on in a mean, but cool way...dig the grooves....
Plenty hard to find alright... sought after...thee original release from 1970, Women and Children First is the one and only album by Ancient Grease (actually a moniker for a Welsh band named Strawberry Dust). The band key members Morty and Graham Williams, was embraced by John Weathers (at the time drummer for Eyes of Blues but more familiar for his later duties as a Gentle Giant member), who produced the album and supplied much of the material.
The album opens with two basic yet fluent blues rock numbers: Hints of The Doors can be found on "Freedom Train," which also ends with Little Richard inspired wails, while "Don’t Want" borrows early Led Zeppelin as well as the guitar wizardry of Hendrix.
A more distinctive voice soon emerges with the reflective ballad "Odd Song," which is entwined with keyboards ranging from dramatic to playful. The following material blends proto prog, blues rock and psychedelia, influenced by a wide scope of ‘60s bands (or in other words, reflecting its time and era), such as the original (MK1) Deep Purple (check out the majestic vibe of "Eagle Song" and the driving organ playing on the title track) and Cream (the vigorous "Mother Grease the Cat" and "Prelude to a Blind Man").
Morty Williams is an expressive, passionate vocalist, and Graham Williams is a guitarist who never seem to run out of ideas, freshening even the weariest chord patterns. Racing Cars fans should, therefore, jump at the opportunity to listen to both in this raw, looser and bluesier setting. The ardent bass (by one Jack Bass) keeps pounding to Graham Williams' tasty licks, escorting him perfectly when needed while at other times picking up the riffs from Williams, allowing the guitarist to burst with fast, searing solos.
