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 became 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BEAUTIFUL  = FINAL COLLECTION COPY!

SUPER RARE ....ADVANCED RELEASE  PROMO....MINT CONDITION

Highly sought after ORIGINAL 1970 first pressing vinyl on the highly collected 'Mainstream' label, home label to several garage & psych obscurity gems...

Rated by world psych collectors as one of the *best* on the MAINSTREAM label. Long songs, tight melodic tunes, great singing, all injected by strong guitar work.

LACEWING was the last "psych" Lp recorded by the Mainstream label...

      <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Previously known in the OHIO area as the Measles. A name change to something 'hipper' was needed, so Lacewing became the new and short lived moniker . The Lacewing LP was recorded at Criteria studios in Miami, just like other NE Ohio bands on the label like Decembers' Children and Freeport.

LACEWING deliver drifty dreamy female vocals with superb backing. Lacewing have a really lovely sound that somewhat fits their name -- an approach to psyche that's partially infused by folkrock melodies which comes across with a bit more sensitivity than some of their contemporaries on the label! The guitar parts are strong, but also have a lightness too -- not as fuzzy or freaky as you might expect from Mainstream Records at the time, and further warmed up a bit with vocals from female singer Mary Sterpka. There's a bit of organ on the record, which occasionally has an equally light feel -- and in a way, Lacewing come across sounding like one of those great lost Marin County hippie groups of the late 60's who were eclipsed by some of the bigger acts of the time -- kind of a Bay Area-rural sound, if that makes any sense, and highlighted by the stunning "Paradox"
