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. 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 +22,000 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.

Beautiful pasted photo cover ~ an eye-pleasing 1969 TOP-superior original relic valued onward of $2000 + The Investment collectible gem happens to also represent an album filled with killer self composed tunes. ....
This Toronto, Ontario, band's ONLY album is one of the rarest and sought artifacts to come out of Canada. Musically, it's a mixture of psychedelia, blues and rock. Some tracks like "Inside Out, Inside In" and "Royal American Twentieth Century Blues Reprise" sound strongly influenced by The Beatles circa 'Sergeant Pepper' and 'Magical Mystery Tour' with a strong Lennon vibe. There's nice guitar work on "Thirteen Miles Down" and a nice chiming intro to "Good Dream."
A near-mint copy of Rockadrome's lone 1969 LP will probably set one back at least a month's rent, continuing to rise in value with time. Recorded in the early months of 1969 at Art Snider's Sound-Canada studios in Toronto and pressed up in very limited quantities, "Royal American 20th Century Blues" is remains an extremely-rare collectible, up there with rarities like Plastic Cloud, Jarvis Street Review, It's All Meat, etc.
ROCKADROME (guitarists Ron Dove and Mike Clancy, along with bassist Paul Lachapelle and drummer Rick Vallieres) formed the band in Toronto Canada in 1968. Rockadrom's Royal American... seems to have one foot planted on either side of the Atlantic, flitting from Brit-infused freakbeat ('Very Strange') to acerbic West Coast guitar jams ('Thirteen Miles Down'), sometimes even in the same song (the amazing five-minute title track). Dove's Dylanesque whine on the jangly 'There You Go Again' should by rights be maddeningly annoying, but instead the song could almost be a long-lost "Blond on Blonde" outtake. And the sombre keys reprise closing side two is a sober almost frighteningly reflection of "American twentieth century blues". The record remains an impossible find in ANY condition , not to mention near-mint and still, such a lost artifact. "Royal American 20th Century Blues" could have gone entirely unnoticed and a mystery
