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

ARCHIVE COPY! Original 1966 pressing

...STILL FACTORY SEALED

-- NEVER OPENED - NEVER PLAYED ...a FANTASTIC COPY from '66

No Bar Code

'Papa' John Phillips had an ear for great song hooks and a leer for eye-candy (having had an affair with Michelle Phillips while she was still a teen, divorcing his then-wife, and then marrying Michelle when she reached the advanced age of 18). In any case, The Mamas and the Papas were one of the greatest vocal bands of the 60s, and nowhere is this more apparent than on their 1966 debut album. With iconic classics like "Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin', a stellar version of The Beatles' "I Call Your Name", and various hipster wink-and-a-nudge pop like "The In Crowd" and "Go Where You Wanna Go", the record hit #1 and gave Phillips enough clout to host the historic Monterey Pop Festival a year later. Overall the album is the prime example of mesmerizing California sunshine vocals and lush arrangements with strong hooks throughout every track. Ironically, the songs sounds more Phil Spector like than their cover of “Spanish Harlem”, an actual Spector track. Right up there with Beach Boys in resonating the California '60s sound, If You Can Believe Your Eyes And Ears is a outstanding piece of poprock music history, one that should well please the sounds of the sixties fans.

Side one "Monday, Monday" "Straight Shooter" "Got a Feelin'" "I Call Your Name" "Do You Wanna Dance?" "Go Where You Wanna Go" Side two "California Dreamin'" "Spanish Harlem" "Somebody Groovy" "Hey Girl" "You Baby" "The 'In' Crowd"
