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 become 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.

FANTASTIC MINT FINAL COLLECTION COPY

RARE and sought 1972 FIRST PRESSING = BRITISH LAMINATED GATEFOLD !!!!

This is seriously a great underground heavy rock with a killer infectious sound ...an obscure & heavy gem released in 1972 formed out of the ashes of Atomic Rooster and boosting the sound with a delicious power driving sound. Heavy psych people go nuts for this stuff. Its the type of stuff collectors hunt like crazy for. 1972 is the magic year and featured two members of early Atomic Rooster, including John Ducann who led the great ANDROMEDA ...HARD STUFF is heavy, gritty and dirty. Its very ahead of its time. You can hear influences from everything hard & heavy including grinding Black Sabbath.

John DuCann (guitar, vocals) [Andromeda, Atomic Rooster]
John Gustafson (bass, vocals) [Quatermass]
Paul Hammond (drums) [Atomic Rooster]

Something of a holy grail for hard rock fans, this album is not easy to come by. The band, formed from former Atomic Rooster and Quartermass members. "No Witch At All" is a solid rocker; "Time Gambler (Rodney)" features some heavy guitars; "Millionaire" is a bit of a party rock stomper that has some impressive multi-tracked guitar parts; "Monster in Paradise" is a bit crazed and works and "Mr Longevity-RIP" is a humorous piece with a catchy chorus for a song about growing old and death. One thing for sure, this album burns and crushes whatever stands in it's path. It is super heavy, still amazing, and complex. Full of ruthlessly crunchy, yet fully melodic well written songs...a hard-nosed, no-compromise, heavy-rocking act. Amongst a full slate of winners, off the top will pick to click with the hard hitting blues fest 'Sinister Minister' conveying strength and edginess...   Jay Time
