'For the first time since its original release in 1970, an exact re-issue of The Human Zoo album, taken from the original master tapes, with all the album artwork faithfully replicated! As was the case with label-mates The Human Expression, The Human Zoo were also from the Los Angeles suburbs of Westminster and were also signed to Accent Records. (In fact, the connection between the two bands is greater still, as The Human Zoo were managed by Jim Foster of The Human Expression). The Human Zoo were originally called The Circus; they changed their name to the hipper sounding Human Zoo in 1969. Their album from the following year was pressed in limited numbers and has become a mega-rare collectors item. And what of it? The Human Zoo album is a surprising and quirky blend of psychedelic (trippy), garage (fuzz-guitar) and funky music. The musical diversity, once the cause of some peoples griping, is the records greatest asset in this age of one song downloadable wonderment. The band had chops, could put together a really good song, and did so repeatedly on this sole album. This replica LP edition is limited to 500 copies, which will last about as long as it takes you to read this description... so please order quickly to avoid disappointment.'
'A six-man group with two vocalists who start the album with tense shouts. Trippy organ adds to the psychedelic sound created throughout side 1, with the closing "Funny" the best track thanks to its very strong melody. Side 2 opens with the excellent fuzz and tough vocals of "Late To My Resurrection", followed by an abomination of bad imitation backwards vocals. Thankfully the next track is a nice angst-filled vocal with tough Southern stylings. Good things continue with the best track, "Stone Sassy Fox", where psych and cool Southern rock blend for our pleasure. The title track comes on like gang-busters with psychedelic lyrics recited with a teen feel. Finally, "The Time Was Over" ends the trip on a downbeat coda. Like labelmate F J McMahon, this album is pretty hard to find.' - Jack Streitman/The Acid Archives

HOW WE SHIP RECORDS (AND OTHER ITEMS) TO YOU:
With
the exception of a few odd-sized items, ALL LPs are packaged for

SHAPED, CORNER-PROTECTING CORRUGATED CARDBOARD RECORD MAILERS WITH

We are record collectors
here, too, and we pledge to package your records (or any other item) in a
way in which we would like to have records/other items packaged, sent
to us and received by us as well.
When packaging up records that
are non-factory sealed items (as is standard for many import releases)
or are open "used" items for shipment, we remove the LP and inner-sleeve
from the album cover and place them on the outside of the cover to
protect the cover from being subjected to any potential seam-splitting
during transit.
When packaging up factory sealed records for
shipment, we leave the item sealed, intact, as is. HOWEVER.
If a customer REQUESTS that we unseal a factory sealed record to send
with the LP and inner sleeve on the outside of the cover (to protect
the cover from any potential seam-splitting during transit) we will do so. Please be sure to make this make this request of unsealing your record for shipment if that is your packaging preference.
When packaging up non-factory sealed items (or
factory sealed items that have been unsealed at the buyer's request)
that have custom company or other manner of printed inner-sleeves, we
remove the record from those printed inner sleeves (returning the
printed inner sleeves back into the album cover) and place them inside
brand new, generic white paper inner sleeves, which are then placed on
the outside of the album cover to protect both the album cover AND the
original printed inner sleeves from being subjected to any potential
seam splitting during transit. We do this for all new AND used items
that are in our stock.
All LPs, be they new or used, are
sheathed inside of new, protective plastic outer sleeves (with the
exceptions of space or weight limitations that may occur with packaging
your items - such exceptions will take place when they allow for a lower
cost of shipping charged for your total order.)
We go the extra mile to protect and preserve your items, folks!
