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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

UK - NEON RECORDS - NE 7
BEAUTIFUL ... 1971 HIGHLY sought "Neon" label UK Original... very hard to find in this TOP minty clean condition. Seldom seen but for sure every time seems like there ar always problems with the cover ... an extremely fragile gatefold with ultra-delicate wear-prone tendencies... here is an brilliant 46 year old FINAL COLLECTION COPY!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
This one-off is a fine example of West Coast influenced psych and British underground rock merging together to create a unique blend and gorgeous sound of the era. A stunning example, the gatefold picture sleeve shows barely any signs of its age and the vinyl looks mint, with immaculate clean labels
Released on the RCA subsidiary neon in 1971, UK outfit shape of the rain is a wonderful example of American west coast meets British psych/progressive to create a sound and feel all of its own. It's subtle rhythms, 12 string & slide guitars plus excellent harmonies, make it one of the most enduring albums of its time. No doubt about it, it's a charming album! Despite not achieving mainstream success at the time, the band are now held in high regard by critics and collectors alike. Mint copies like this are bloody rare!
