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.

RARE 1969 BRITISH LIBERTY RECORDS FIRST PRESSING
UK POP-PSYCHE "MONSTER" ALA RUBBER SOUL MEETS REVOLVER
T H E I D L E R A C E
\ BRAZIL - LIBERTY RECORDS - FLP 35079 (PROMO)
EXTREMELY RARE 1970 ADVANCED RELEASE PROMOTIONAL
One of the all-time great UK POPSIKE/FREAKBEAT ALBUMS = BEATLESQUE PLUS....
MINTY CLEAN....ORIGINAL 1970 PRE-RELEASE PROMO on the old Liberty Records label... the LP was unbelievably not ever released in the USA when containing potential massive hit potential all over the place! ...
The SECOND Idle Race Lp IS one of the greatest British pop-psych nuggets, as great as anything ever released within the swingin' UK freakbeat daze...on par with the Beatles Rubber Soul & Revolver while containing a special twist all of its own...the self penned tracks are stunning...full of beautiful melody and super catchy, the type that stick to your mind forever days...copies of this album have long been on wish lists and command high sums on the collectors market...
A second Idle Race LP was recorded in November 1969 shortly before leader Jeff Lynne's departure to the MOVE. The album may have lacked the lavish gatefold packing of their British first lp (The Birthday Party) but was equally if not more impressive in content than the first, re-splendid with a moody band portrait.
It was the first album to bear the credit "Produced by Jeff Lynne," who according to band-mate Roger Spencer basically bluffed his way through the whole process! As it turned out, the self titled lp shows a maturity well beyond the experience shared by the constituent members. The album is well paced and hangs together perfectly, lyrically and aurally superior to the first, featuring marvellous, melodic arrangements that even Lennon/McCartney would have been proud of!
Perhaps more Beatlesque than the "Birthday Party" lp, you can hear elements of "Here There and Everywhere" and "She Said, She Said" (from Revolver) in the closing pair of "A Better Life" and "Hurry Up John". Other tracks, however, were totally original in their concepts, such as "Mr. Crow and Sir Norman" (an extension of their ideas from the first album) and the delightful "Big Chief Woolley Bosher".
In one sense this LP could have been seen as a regressive step as at the time many of their musical contemporaries were venturing into experimental music born out of heavy blues. The Idle Race instead, offered a set of popsike gems and in which ballads such as "The Girl at the Window", "Please No More Sad Songs", and "Sea Of The Dreams" were more reminiscent of mid period Beatles, ala Rubber Soul and Revolver. A must own artifact from the swingin' London psych-pop scene...
