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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING:   USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.   All Canadian and Overseas shipping ~ Please inquire about rates.

CLEAN....Original 1970 first pressing of the dark, doomy ripper by ATOMIC ROOSTER featuring soon-to-be HARD STUFF members...it's killer heavy psych all the way, dominated by infectious tracks soaked in gushing organ, fiery guitar and tight driving rhythms...

Includes the hard to find original printed Elektra inner sleeve

Whatta sound !!! heavy rock psychedelia with a doomy atmosphere brings this up to the best Atomic Rooster album and definitely the heaviest. Though the album has some progressive rock elements and can be put into that genre, it is done in a very heavy dark Black Sabbath-ish tone, catagorized as hard heavy prog. Vincent Crane's keyboard playing is outstanding. He showcases his dynamic skills with gushing organ moves all over the place, and the strong songwriter he was. This album is one of the heaviest progressive rock albums in history and one of the best (May even be considered one of the first Progressive heavyrock albums). "Death Walks Behind You", "Tomorrow Night", "Sleeping For Years" & "I Can't Take No More" are hard rock treats and "Vug", "7 Streets" (with the very heavy organ intro) and "Gershatzer" are prog/psych classics. Never a dull moment, John Cann's wirey guitar (which is drenched in the dirty distortion sound) is the perfect ingrediant in battling with Crane's organ throughout this gem....
