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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

100% Original first pressing in thick cover plus 8 page photos & interview booklet ...

As GREAT as the first two JOSEFUS LP's - here are the RAW pre- "DEAD MAN" first Lp DEMOS coupled with great unreleased tracks by "COME" as they were known as, before Josefus... 

The "Come" recordings from 1969 were released for the first time on this Epilogue label issue some 20+ years ago. Throughout the recordings the band's sound is defined by the lead guitar work of Dave Mitchell, and the banshee vocals of Pete Bailey. Highlights of the album, besides the above mentioned versions of "Dead Man" are the deranged rocker "Crazy Man...

Released by the small Washington-based Epilogue label, "Get Off of My Case" not only the essential "Come" efforts, but highlights include alternative superior versions of "Crazy Man", an extended "Dead Man" (probably the Lp's #1 highlight) and "Situation". What can you say about the tunes? If you liked their earlier stuff, sorta the raw/dirty Zeppelin sludge fireworks  like "A Social Song" and "Feelin' Good" the LP will certainly appeal to you. Again, the guitar effects heavy "Dead Man" provides the standout track.
This original copy of the LP includes a multi-page insert containing a various newspaper clippings and interview with Josefus members Bailey and Turner plus photos.
