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 21+,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.

CAPTAIN BEYOND
Amazing 1972 RARE & MINT 1972 Japanese SUUPER-SOUND! - ...one of the greatest, when talking USA early 70's hard rock.
-
CAPTAIN BEYOND were a super-group, formed by the first Deep Purple vocalist Rod Evans, Iron Butterfly’s Lee Dorman & Larry “Rhino” Reinhardt on bass and guitar respectively, and ex-Johnny Winter (invincible power-house) drummer Bobby Caldwell: with this personnel they would release the fantastic CAPTAIN BEYOND
album, which is basically a mixture of rancid 70s hard rock with psychedelic excursions rolled up in killer, top level melodies, that won't leave your think-tank.
...........................................
Mostly structured as a concept LP, with the tracks joined, many times, following continued sequences. Some hypnotic atmospheres, like in “Dancing madly backwards (on a sea of air)/Armworth/Myopic void” are intertwined with beautifully played passages, and the acid heavy riffage of a Jimi Hendrix, notable as well in “Mesmerization eclipse” or “Raging river of fear”, tracks that feature shifting tempos. Another fine sequence of psychedelic rock is “Thousand years of yesterday (intro)/Frozen over/Thousand years of yesterday (time since come and gone)”, which starts acoustic, and is developed along spacey, or even bluesy instrumental passages, going complex/progressive in the end.
The last part of the album “I can’t feel nothin’ (part I)/As the moon speaks (to the waves of the sea)/Astral lady/As the moon speaks (return)/I can’t feel nothin’ (part II)”, it’s a concatenation of short tacks, which lasts its 9 minutes +, blending the psych heavy rock and the abrasive guitars, with pensive and calm soundscapes.
All in all one of the all time classic gems of the era...special mention to Bobby Caldwell's amazing drumming throughout!, as well; though is not really a masterpiece, especially if compared with the huge and influential records of its time –the early 70s-, when this kind of music was at its prime.
