Description
Riders of the Mark The Electronic insides and metal complexion that make up herr doktor krieg/ (20th Century 6894) Well, there's First Crow and Third Bardo on Roulette but this is up there too among major label psych 45s by a band that never came close to making an LP. It features a brilliant theatrical vocal that sounds influenced by 20s German expressionism or an outtake from a Fritz Lang movie. My only complaint is it's a little too short but I am not sure that a rock 45 has ever been this evocative in such a short span of time ... you can get goose bumps from the vocals, the synthetic bombast and the futuristic lyrics ("his metal mind remembers war/his metal hand is on the door"). Who knows what it means but it's a trip and passes the test of a great 45 ... you can't just play it once! Disc is pretty clean but has some lead-in and lead-out crackle. There's a very slight smudge on the label flip.
Listen to Electronic Insides

Condition: VG+ disc/ clean labels
Shipping Rates for 45s
Helpful Information
- All items are original unless specifically noted. We do not sell reissues or counterfeits.
- We do combine shipping. See shipping chart at left for specific rates.
- We do know how to grade 45s. No 45 will be offered unless we think listening to it will be an enjoyable experience. All 45s are money back guaranteed.
- Note that we slightly tweaked postage rates following the big postal rate hike in May.
- We are available to answer questions at 678 628-7234. You may call to ask a question, hear a record or check on the status of an order. We're here to help.
- We do offer insurance within the US. Rates are $1.65 up to $50 and $1.20 per additional $50.
- We use sturdy 45 mailers designed for the purpose. Occasionally, though, the post office may behave like the gorilla in the Samsonite commercial. Naturally, we have no control over that, so you may feel insurance is wise.
- If an uninsured or unregistered package goes missing, please be patient. Don't file a claim - give it time to arrive. Despite what you may hear about the US Postal Service, they are in fact very reliable. The number of packages we've sent that actually remained lost is virtually zero out of tens of thousands.
- We do refund for any reason provided the item returns in the same condition it left (ie we don't cover postal damage)
