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 ~ eBay requires Priority shipping rates on any order $400+ ~ Also, in the best interest of all of us, safe Express shipping rates on any order totaling $500+   CANADA ~ 1 single disc LP = $8.50.   OVERSEAS (all Countries) ~ 1 single disc LP = $17.00.   Discount shipping on multiple LPs in same order.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RARE...hard to find...especially clean in factory cellophane, plus contains the super hard to find "GET READY" sticker which most folks tore off along with the cellphane to their '68 first pressing! 

...Rarely seen sought after, highly collectible CLEAN original 1968 first pressing of by far rarest Rare Earth album, when they appeared on the scene as a gritty inspired garage rock band of adventurous experimentations...with a hint of psych

A surprising good example of where the band would eventually evolve into. The track “Get ready” here is a shorter piece and is an earlier idea of the long marathon mix they world later do for the “Rare Earth”. There are many other nice tunes inside this, the rarest RARE EARTH LP, definitely worth exploring those rare grooves. Recorded in Verve studios with an hint of the Motown fame mixed with light psychedelics and a tough bold sound, this has a unique sound. A new definitive direction for the up and coming group then. For its time frame you have to consider this is where their punch came from.
