Amanda Trees

Amanda (sealed copy)

EX/EX

US 1972

Poppy Records - PP-LA003-F

Amanda Trees was from Brooklyn, New York. She trained as an actress and worked at Off-Broadway productions and Childrens workshops. After meeting Mike Jeffrey, who discovered The Animals at the Club 'a Go Go at the Handyside Arcade in Newcastle, she was convinced to make her living as a musician. Mike introduced her to Jimi Hendrix and they became very good friends. 

As a poet she could already play the piano and Jimi guided her musically. She eventually became known as the Electric Lady. This was before the Electric Lady Studio was commissioned. Many songs were recorded just before Jimi passed away and then things went on hold. One album was finally released in 1972 and a year later Mike was killed in a plane crash. Her dreams washed away with the passing of her 2 spiritual advisers.

Musically, this album is like the best of Laura Nyro and Judee Sill and has a strangeness that you only heard from bands involved with the ESP Record label. Echoes and special effects. A wonderful record that made my mouth drop.

Sealed LP that was never opened.

I was Ina-Gadda-Da-Records.

Long time buyer from E-bay and other record websites since the 90's.

Please bear with me. I'm selling off my entire record collection (about 40,000 LPs) listing them one at a time.

A long and arduous task. Lots of gems and rare stuff.

Check out The Psychedelic Digest.

Auctions are listed for 7 days.  

All records are conservatively Graded to GOLDMINE Standards and are rated VINYL FIRST / THEN COVER. For double LPs Vinyl / Vinyl / Cover. I will visually grade both sides of vinyl and play grade if I see unusual flaws. Covers will be visually graded. Plenty of pictures for any records that are high end items.

LPs will be packaged in the proper corrugated cardboard box, we all know about, with extra cardboard pads. Each LP will have a clear plastic sleeve. The record itself will be removed and shipped within the sleeve separate from the cover to prevent any seam splits. The vinyl record will NOT be removed from a sealed LP purchase for shipping.

Payment is due within 7 days unless you let me know. If payment has NOT been received within the 7-day payment period and you have NOT contacted me, the record will be relisted.

I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE, BUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS DETERMINED BY THE WEIGHT OF THE PACKAGE. DO NOT MAKE PAYMENT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE.

If you have won an auction and see another item that ends beyond the 7-day maximum payment period, let me know and I will hold your item until that bid period ends. This would be a special circumstance that would not extend beyond 10 days. I will invoice you for the full amount and expect payment at that point.

Typically, USA Media mail would be 1-2 LPs- $5.00 USD. Canada $23.00 USD. Europe around $30.00 USD for 1-2 LPs. Additional LPs as per total weight. I will send an invoice with total postage cost.

I can combine the shipping but will only send a maximum of 10 records per package. Additional postage will be determined by total weight of the package. An invoice will be sent to you.

Priority Mail, Insurance, etc. is available at additional costs. Let me know and I will send an invoice.

I will Refund for any item purchased and received that was not fully as described. Grading is the usual cause of concern here. We're talking used and 30-50 years old. There are no perfect records, even sealed records can have flaws. If there is a concern, please contact me. 

Any returns will be posted at the buyer's cost. If necessary, I will only refund the original purchase price.

Please message me through E-Bay to discuss any problems.

Positive Feedback is happily accepted and reciprocated.
