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.

VINYL LOOKS and PLAYS MINTY CLEAN!! SPARE COLLECTION COPY !
RARE and sought after Original 1969 first pressing of a great hard psych rocker from Seattle, who shuddered and shook to the gifted Floating Bridge that regularly opened for Jimi Hendrix Experience. Musicians comprised of ex - "Wailers" guitarist Rick Dangel, a secondary fuzz lead guitarist from the Checkmates, Joe Johansen and a crafted vocalist called Pat Gasson who really knew how to sing them blues. Bassist Joe Johnson and drummer Mike Marinelli from the group Unknown Factor completed the lineup.
Bursting with vibrancy this urgent distortion guitar led quartet issued their only LP in '69. The standouts include the immaculate twin lead guitar workout expressed instrumentally on Lennon & McCartney’s “Hey Jude” while a bridging into the Byrds / stone fusion “Eight Miles High” /”Paint It Black” with Dangel and Johansen spinning like spiders on heat on dual fuzzed guitars. They sizzled through a psychedelic artillery of nugget's namely 7 minutes of “Crackshot” and also a wicked “You’ve Got The Power.” while astounding blues riff can be heard on the “Three Minute & Ten Second Blues”. The same can be said for the Delta slow “Gonna Lay Down N’ Die” with Pat and Joe reaching from the bottom.
All said, Floating Bridge give the Beatles' Hey Jude a guitar elasticity that very few could emulate. Their instrumental version with two lead guitars in mating session are simply out of this world .....the rest of the album cranks out fevered blues and psych tracks that thrill collectors of the genre....you be the judge
