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.

MINT VINYL - MINT COVER ~~ PLAYS CLEAN... STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CELLOPHANE
If there is one album that makes you desperately nostalgic for a time and place, this is it. The dueling guitars of Duncan and Cipollina, chiming, jagged, hesitant, liquid, blistering, soaring, the very essence the perception of "westcoastism."
Stand out track has to be "The Fool" it just says everything "sonic", give your cortex a treat and play this album back to back with Country Joe's Electric Music for Mind and Body and then try to remember what year your in! If you only own one QuicksilverMessengerService album make it this one!
The groove starts as soon as the tonearm drops on the vinyl and doesn't stop. Irresistible. One of the few darlings of the San Francisco sixties scene that deserves its high standing. Overall, song for song, a fantastic album of tightly arranged hard twin guitar dominated psych and extended compositions. John Cippolina's guitar playing is stunning, and the dense epic album closer The Fool is a masterpiece of composition noteworthy for innovation in the use of guitar effects.
"Pride Of Man" – 4:08 "Light Your Windows" – 2:38 "Dino's Song" – 3:08 "Gold and Silver" – 6:43 "It's Been Too Long" – 3:01 "The Fool" – 12:07
