Description
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.

MEGA RARE...private pressing local to TEXAS from 1968.. it's the FIRST PRINT!
Obviously not many copies were produced some 50 or so years ago, having the pre-ZZ T0P roots and better in the fact that it's a top level psychedelic blues TOP RARITY ...
The Very first the A M E R I C A N B L U E S album from 1968, and one of the elite garage/fuzz/psych gems of the era...$$$ triple figues value MANY years ago. These days seldom seen!
- The tracks are mesmerizing with psyched-out tones and fuzz guitar injections all throughout...
- pretty much hand in hand with the Moving Sidewalks Lp from a year later...
........................................................................................
the A M E R I C A N B L U E S were the legendary 1960s Texas-based garage band who played a psychedelic style of blues rock music influenced by the 13th Floor Elevators. They are most famous for including two future members of the ZZ Top trio in their ranks, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard. From 1966 to 1968, they played the Dallas-Fort Worth-Houston circuit and headlined in three clubs all called "The Cellar", in Dallas at clubs such as "The Walrus" on Mockingbird Lane, and in Houston at "Love Street Light Circus Feel Good Machine" on Allen's Landing, as late as 1968.
One of the better known Dallas bands of this era A M E R I C A N B L U E S were originally known as The Warlocks. Their first album was produced by Scotty McKay and recorded at Robin Hood Brian's studio in Tyler, Texas. Side one is predominantly psychedelic and a 45 from it was issued the following year. Side two is in more of a heavy psych-rock style. Either way, either style, it's a hands down winner for old 60's garage & psych collectors...
