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. 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 became 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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#63 OF 450 COPIES = ALL MINT IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER
PLUS GROUP POSTER PHOTO & NON LP E.P.
...THE FLOW...
\ European - SHADDOCKS
MINT ...still in original factory shrink wrapper...MINT ALL OVER!!! Hard to belive how THICK this cover and platter are ... a numbered (#63) of only 450 copies, a limited edition Shaddocks release from several years ago and long long gone/rare... The album was recorded around 1970 by a striking band of longhairs who called themselves, The Flow, few known original copies exist. This sensational issue includes a band photo, large fold out POSTER and a non-Lp three track EP. The Flow featured Pete Fine on guitars/vocals, Monte Farber on bass/vocals, Steve Starer on drums...The album is a total guitar burner -- some of the album is quite dark and mythologically inclined...some leans towards engaging stylized prog/fusion ...some weird stuff crops up too ("Things We Said Today")... If you´re into Blue Cheer and extra heavy Fuzz guitar is your thing, you´ll love this album. Great songs, add up to a mindblower! Guitarist Pete Fine who also issued a mega rare $$$ valued solo album in the early '70s, was behind THE FLOW...and they do deliver an awesome slab of seventies fuzz guitar rock and roll. Lots of crunchy riffs, but also wailing lead guitar, and sort of jazzy Santana-ish breakdowns. Think Blue Cheer, Toad, Bang or Buffalo. If those names mean anything to you you're gonna need this. The mighty FLOW starts out with the truly monstrous track, "It Swallowed The Sun", which begins like a Black Sabbath tune, huge peals of thunder, ominous minor key fingerpicked guitars between crashing distorted chords. The rest of the record is not as heavy, but has equally impressive acoustic-y Led Zeppelin 3 moments amidst all the fuzzy guitar wailing. All told, it's pretty great. Plus, one of the best cover photos ever, with the band wearing togas, mic stands in trash cans, playing amidst clouds of smoke!Reflections by Pete Fine, one of the members..."In those rebellious and psychedelic times we barely earned enough to pay for food at times, while developing our musical horizons. I am amazed we survived those days. Eventually, we became a 3 piece band - The Flow. We rented a room in NYC -- also renting a room was Wicked Lester, a band later to be known as KISS. We used the space for our own explorations. With our limited funds, we could only complete half of the project so we released the record with one blank side and later on, added more material."
