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.

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.

1968 POPSIKE GROOVES ALA The ZOMBIES - HOLLIES and IDLE RACE
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The famed GOLDEN EARRING(S) formed in 1964 and went through all the stages from beat-rock to underground psych to classic rock ... Initially they were known as 'The Golden Earrings', after this album in 1968, Miracle Mirror, they changed the name to 'Golden Earring' ...
1968's MIRACLE MIRROR took on a psychedelic pop-rock influence to create an album that stands alongside song-based classics like the Zombies "Odyssey And Oracle," The Small Faces " Ogden’s Nutgone Flake" and The Hollies’ "Butterfly."
The Earring moved into the heavier, harder rock territory soon after this release, a sound that would bring them big fame in the 70s! However in 1968, Miracle Mirror is a lot more tripped-out than their Lp's before -- less poprock & lyrical modes of the group's earliest hits -- and instead, a lot more moody numbers that really brood nicely on heavy bass-lines, fuzzy guitar, and some arch vocals sung in English (as always) throughout, despite the Dutch origins of the band. Why this one didn't rock the UK and US scenes bigger at the time is a mystery -- but the record's ripe for rediscovery now, and filled with great cuts!
