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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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.

RARE UNDERGROUND ACID-ROCK
ORIGINAL 1969 DECCA RECORDS FIRST PRESS

STILL IN FACTORY CELLOPHANE
SCARCE 50 years ago COLLECTION COPY!
Rare collectible original 1968 first pressing = an interesting underground rock band that features mostly all original tunes with varied styles from garage-punk to memorable melodics with psychy flourishes. These guys have a strong reputation and the album is excellent - think a cool garagey Vox organ & guitar dominated Vanilla Fudge (1st Lp era sound) with a little more attitude, and more edgy.
The opening gem, "Girl, Make Up Your Mind" is a catchy nugget straight out of the Nuggets/Pebbles vein.
Despite a number of impressive accomplishments, the Forum Quorum vanished quickly in their day leaving this only recorded album - now a hotly sought after collectible. But how many other groups of the era can claim two appearances on the Mike Douglas Show, two motion picture soundtracks, numerous product jingle recordings, a 'Vox' Equipment sponsorship, a national magazine cover, and two 45 singles and this full LP release...
Includes the original 1968 DECCA Records inner sleeve to the album
