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.

NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THIS CLEAN!

1968 RARE FIRST ISSUE with THICK gatefold cover ... this was a garage rocker band who turned themselves into a trippy psychedelic sound:::

Jimmie Jersie was a member of the Queen's Nectarine Machine, who recorded the 1968 psychedelic album The Mystical Powers of Roving Tarot Gamble. The Queen's Nectarine Machine were based in Garfield, New Jersey, and released only the one album during their run.

Contains the delightful acid nugget "Mysterious Martha Garoo," that appeared on Psychcosis from the Thirteenth Dimension. According to Jimmie, the trippy band name and the occult theme of the LP were the idea of their production company, Super K. The band was much more of a rock & roll band, influenced more by the Rascals, Rolling Stones and the Beatles. Still, this album is a prime example of late-1960s psychedelia —as is the band's appearance.
Jimmie, who identified himself as "the wierdo in the flowered pants," did his part in establishing the band's look. The flowered pants? Imported from Italy. In fact, all of the shirts that the band members are wearing are Jimmie's.
Jimmie was also for a time a member of the Del-Aires, a band with a career as interesting as the Queen's Nectarine Machine. The Del-Aires appeared in the movie The Horror of Party Beach, which aired on Mystery Science Theater 3000. The Del-Aires were "The Greatest B-Movie Band Ever" ...The Del-Aires also were playing in the Angel Lounge in Lodi, New Jersey, on the night of the infamous killings that left two police officers dead, chronicled in David Stout's book Night of the Devil. Highlights from the Queen's Nectarine Machine Lp are 4th Dimension and Seance, and overall very much worth hearing. The Seance started when Jeff Katz came into the studio whilst the engineer was trying to get a volume and EQ level. As usual, the band were jamming- playing dissonant jibberish to irritate and annoy the engineer, but Jeff thought that THAT SOUND was' just what he was looking for ' to finish the album...
