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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

The *BEST* COPY ... STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CELLOPHANE

...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The cover is next to impossible to find without wear, and here is that super rare M- TOP COPY with NO shelf wear ! You won't likely find this rarity at all - but finding it this clean, pretty much impossible !
ACID ARCHIVES hard-rock private press from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (the town is similar to unearthing a 1940's sealed tuna sandwich) and just happens to be our location....
Original mid '70s first pressing that is much better than expected = (hear it below) ...
Joe Cicero (guitar, vocals)
Mike Cicero (drums)
John Chapman (keyboards, synthesizer, vocals)
Dale Kaylor (lead guitar, guitar)
John Spangler (bass, chimes, vocals)
MOONSTONE were an impressive hard-edged blend of heavy riffing guitar & keyboads containing progressive edges and complex song structures ... along the lines of similar hardrock obscurities such as early Rush, Kopperfield, Ice Cross, Steelmill and the like. Very tight, cohesive, formidable instrumentation, no one can deny that these guys can play.
A thousand words can't describe what actual hearing can do, so click on this next line and enjoy a few minutes of this album, and this isn't even one of the better songs from the album...
