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.

ORIGINAL 1975 FIRST PRESS
MINT ... FINAL COLLECTION COPY ...
..
STRANGE UNIVERSE
USA - 20th CENTURY RECORDS - t - 482
FANTASTIC MINT 1975 first printing ...
You won't easily find a better copy .. thick colorful gatefold - not found mint, but here is the exception, NO WEAR to the wear-prone cover!!!
Such a remark was later revealed to be strictly for publicity purposes, which popped my balloon as how cool it would have been if something of a paranormal nature truly did occur. Not only does Frank’s amazing guitar playing sound uncannily like the wizardry wares of his mentor, but his sensually expressive vocals and esoteric essays also strongly emulate those of Master Hendrix in a most stunning manner. Originally released in 1975 on the 20th Century label, and reissued in 1989 by Repertoire Records, Strange Universe marked Mahogany Rush’s third album, and according to these ears, is the best of the bundle. Teeming and streaming with dynamic shifts dripping with flash and class, not to mention plenty of lashing and crashing, the disc expertly assimilates an array of styles into one memorable memento.
Sparked by sweeping rhythms and zooming riffs, “Tales Of The Spanish Warrior” shimmers and soars with space age signals, “Dancing Lady” wiggles to a fierce and funky beat, and “Once Again” ripples and rolls with bubbly blues licks. A hard and heavy code directs the course on “Dear Music,” where “Moonlight Lady” favors a softer touch, pronounced by graceful melody lines. Blowing wispy psychedelic smoke rings, the title track of the album closes the gig on a breathtaking note. Powerful and trippy, Strange Universe is the finest record Jimi Hendrix never made. While there’s no argument the songs freely steal snippets of the king of the six-string’s work, Mahogany Rush’s enthusiasm, paired with their hot chops, allows forgiveness for being so blatantly imitative. Jimi would indeed be flattered a band so in tune with his vision carried on with love and respect.
