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.

Here's one seldom seen,

MINTY CLEAN unearthed '69 originals have all but vanished....

FINAL COLLECTION COPY!

SUPER RARE 1969 first print in THICK fantastic psychedelic designed cover!

An unearthed little seen obscurity brought back to life, The Age Of Reason came out on the private pressed "Georgetown" label in 1969.

The Age Of Reason were a Washington DC based band consisting of Tommy Dildy on vocals and keyboards, Billy Windsor on vocals and guitar, Bill Manning on drums and vocals, and bassists J. Jenson and T. Gorka. Danny Gatton, who eventually achieved status as “the greatest guitarist you have never heard” also participated in the project.

Anchored by an interaction of heavy psoul samplings and hard rocking rumblings, The Age Of Reason summons visages of bands like the Illusion and Vanilla Fudge. The deep and moody tone of a Hammond organ, compounded by persuasive percussion and steely guitars attire the enthusiastically performed material. Glorious styled harmonies further highlight the effort, while the lead vocals, which prove to be just as capable of swooning as screaming, exude authority.

An arresting cover of Bob Dylan’s “This Wheel’s On Fire” gets The Age Of Reason off to a mighty promising start. Framed in bold and brawny furnishings, the cut is subsequently highlighted by a burst of psychedelic jamming. Another keeper on the album is Sonny Bono’s curious and cryptic “Bang Bang,” which is made even stranger in the hands of Reason. Desperate and dramatic vocals, coupled with shifting and spinning tempos drive the song to harrowing heights.

Original numbers such as “The View From Tim Thompson’s Cell” and “Letters To Home” demonstrate Reason’s knack for piecing ideas together and manipulating them to the best of their ability, where a treatment of SAVOY BROWN'S (Getting To The Point LP) “Stay With Me Baby” ripples with power and passion.

The Age Of Reason, should well please those professing an affinity for soul-infected "lost" rock sounds from the '60s. Age Of Reason didn’t last long, as this was to be their only album, leaving in their wake a cool souvenir of a certain time and place.

                          This Wheel's On Fire
                          Stay With Me Baby
                                  I'm Blue
                    Don't Try To See Through Me
                  The View From Tim Thompson's Cell
                              Letter To Home
                                Bang Bang
                     Temptations About To Get Me
