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

TOP COPY = Original 1974 first pressing of an often overlooked masterpiece that was actually wildly popular back in the mid '70s...but slipped from focus by many...here's the ultimate copy::: ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL, 1974 pre-release

Lot's of juicy wah-drenched jamming with Robin trower His bending strings like they were made of rubber. For instance...the groove to 'Too Rolling Stoned' is irresistable.

Robin Trower, former guitarist for Procol Harum, completely cemented his place as a guitar god and wrote a chapter into guitar rock album history with His 1974 release Bridge Of Sighs. Trower's guitar is front, center, and owning everything in it's path. There is not a bad song on the album and it has arguably a couple of the greatest guitar rock songs ever written on it. Trower totally channels the spirit of Jimi Hendrix on the title cut, and the album progresses from strength to strength from there. Too Rolling Stoned rumbles like a panzer division bashing it's way through France. Day Of The Eagle Defines fiery. And About To Begin is almost transcendentally lovely. There is not a weak track to be had and some are heavy guitar masterpieces you can easily become totally lost in. A total masterpiece - but Trower did not do it alone ... without James Dewar or Reg Isidore this would be a different release, you see. Vocalist and bassist James Dewar does great in both of his respective departments; His singing perfectly complements the hypnotizing guitar line and his skills as a bassist should not be overlooked as he is definitely technically proficient and does well alongside drummer Reg Isidore. Overall it's a very fun, entertaining listen with enough flashy guitar licks & heavy atmopheres to Satisfy about everyone ...
