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!

COLLECTION WORTHY SPARE COPY

100% absolutely Original -mid 70s- first pressing of one of the great sometimes underestimated albums, there's loads of acid guitar buried in the trippy layers, great first time adventure discovery or re-discover the oozing creative o-zones in Can's "LANDED" 

The main difference between this album and previous CAN albums was the technological leap from primitive overdubbing techniques to full scale multi-track recording. The chaotic structure of the early albums is controlled here, and the new studio tricks that Czukay employed give the album a very much more cohesive and easily comprehensible sonic landscape. The band upgraded to 16 track recording and had the opportunity to bring out many more layers of sound and an upbeat nature for most of the tracks in the process. To get this far they have traveled an etymological musical odyssey, that has taken in the dark esoteric voila seeped mood of The Velvet Underground, the psychedelic spiritual enlightenment of America’s west coast, the African dance style rhythms of Nigeria and Ghana, the dreamy hypnotic Turkish flavored folk music, the other-world tour of the nebula emitted from Hendrix and the lessons learnt from Stockhausen and Von Biel. Exit vocalist Damo Suzuki and the vocals on "Landed" are taken over by guitarist Michael Karoli who does a good job in fronting the band; delivering some softly inspired dream like vocal performances & razor guitar highlights throughout.   Landed in some ways directly follows on from their previous effort Soon Over Babaluma, especially in the sound collage experiments of this albums ‘Vernal Equinox’ and ‘Unfinished’, which both re-work the similar themes found on ‘Chain Reaction’ and ‘Quantum Physics’. The rest of the LP consists of far rockier progressive tones, with allusions to their contemporaries, particularly Pink Floyd. ‘Full Moon On The Highway’ and ‘Hunters And Collectors’ are glowing highlights on the album, though remain slightly more conventional/accessible compared to CAN’s usual free roaming exploratory material, with exception of the 13+ minute "Unfinished" epic... The lyrics themselves seem to be full of references to mysterious alluring women, clad in leathers, who turn up at ungodly hours on celestial described highways. Analogies run riot, the open road acting as a metaphor for following certain paths, Karoli constantly encouraging the listener to cut loose and float away.
