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 24,000+ 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.

UPPER LEVEL RARITY in the heavy progressive-psychedelic bag ...here, thee Original first 1970 pressing that serves up the thunder...
Super scarce original NASCO printed inner sleeve included showing other rare Lp's on the label such as the Electric Toilet
Formed in 1969, in Cincinati, Ohio Whalefeathers released two highly sought and expensive collectible LP's before disbanding. The music is best described as melodious heavy progressive rock with a lot surging organ, good vocals & intense guitar. Their sound sits well within the confines of hard prog-psych...
WHALEFEATHERS 2nd LP and final release continues the strong bluesy overtones (ala Black Cat Bones) injected with a heavy edged progressive format. The Lp explodes right out of the gates with a killer extension of Cream's “World of Pain” -- from their Disraeli Gears Lp -- laying out a beefier impact of sound, can't see anyone not digging these grooves... and goes right into a more feverish version of “I Don’t Need No Doctor” which had also been reworked by Chocolate Watch Band in similar urgent fashion. Elsewhere is the memorable “Bastich”, an obscure selection by Saint Steven, a fellow Ohio underground cat who made two great albums...from there the Whalefeathers light up hitting the ignition switch. “Oh, Pretty Woman” is perhaps the liveliest with a clandestinely combative rhythm and some dominant soloing, meanwhile a somewhat spacey/psyche organ intro leisurely welcomes the more progressive “Shadows” to the family where gushing organ a razor guitar solos spin an imaginative web within each other. The bluesy aspect remains present, and otherwise Whalefethers merge with the music quite snugly.
World of Pain 8:36
I Don`t Need No Doctor 3:26
It's a Hard Road (Back Home) 5:07
Bastich 6:20

CONDITION:
The cover: rated: rated: real strong VG++ front cover and better (SEE PHOTO!) , VG+ back cover, sparse wear starting to thee impossible to find clean, dark back cover... about as good as it comes unless you unlikely find one in cellophane! The front actually looks =excellent= but near a bit of shelf wear traces = front looks great, back with slight wear... overall the cover does not have the consistent wear found on most surviving copies, much less by far. Virtually all copies have wear unless in factory cellophane due to the black nature of back cover design ...there are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ... collection worthy especially with clean vinyl:
The vinyl: Rated: M- Clean and glossy over both sides, clean TOP COPY; has no problems here, plays killer with no distraction as in NO distracting surface problems ... both NASCO labels are clean WHALEFEATHERS
WHALEFEATHERS
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
