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. 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 become 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

Original 1968 first pressing that has ALWAYS been hard to find... a GREAT minty 44 year old copy by the head cat SF hippie scene-ster who starred on lead vocals & guitar with the illustrious Quicksilver Messenger Service .... (see condition below) Dino Valente's 1968 solo album is as authentic a relic of the underbelly of the "SF Sound" as you'll ever find. Yeah, he has some weird and engaging arrangements, but there's also a strong element of good phenomenon going on. Let's be honest - Dino sounds the same as when he later fronted the loud Quicksilver Messenger Service, he's got that same vocal style and delivery. That's one of the things that makes this album a "classic" of sorts: Valente, in all his super-stoned, spaced out romanticism really pioneered the "do it yourself" self-expression of the "lo-fi" scene. This is a very personal, very uncommercial record -- a huge flop at the time, but an album that exerts an enduring appeal and the reason it remains a RARE top sought after coillectible. If you enjoy artistic excess, you may really like this album. Incidently, one cut, Children of the Sun, was for quite a while the theme song of the counter culture movement on one important FM station in the San Francisco area (circa mid- to late-60's), and is worth hearing for its historical significance if everything else. Dino liked to do unusual things with his voice in moments of musical passion...skipping octaves, and gliding back down in sort of a whining slide to his original intended note. His songs are not danceable. They are intensely personal observations about people, relationships, and ideas. You've never heard anyone like him. Before or since. Time Something New My Friend Listen to Me Me and My Uncle Tomorrow Children of the Sun New Wind Blowing Everything Is Gonna Be OK Test CONDITION: The cover: Solid and stiff all over; M- clean front cover , VG++ back cover...hard one to find LP, especially clean ... no split seams, no bends, no writing.
