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 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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1969 WEST COAST PSYCH UNDERGROUND GEM
RARE WHITE LABEL PROMO ADVANCED RELEASE
SUMMERHILL
USA - TETRAGRAMMATION - T- 114 - PROMO
TOP COPY
RARE... ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL =
HIGHLY UNDERESTIMATED GEM FROM THE LATE '60s UNDERGROUND ROCK SCENE...
MINTY CLEAN You won't find a better copy unless it's sealed - good luck on that ...
Original 1969 first pressing of a great, still unknown hippie psych album:
Summerhill were formed in Los Angeles in 1968 by "Doug Burger" (keyboards), "Larry Hickman" (bass guitar), "Alan Parker" (vocals, lead guitar) and "Del Ramos" (drums, percussion).Produced by "David Briggs" and recoreded at "Wally Heider Studio" in San Francisco during 1969. Featuring ten original compositions, all four members contributed material giving the album a diverse feel.
Summerhill's only and underrated album never settles on any particular style, and the label dug into the underground rock scene, giving their bands free reign in the studio, despite having "Deep Purple"'s "The Book Of Taliesyn" on their label. The set features a late-1960s West Coast vibe, bouncing all over the musical spectrum, including the Hendrix-psych styled "Bring Me Around", Sunshine Popsike ("Soft Voice"), "Curt Boettcher"-influenced Psychedelic folk-rock ("Follow Us"), and the complex rhythm structures in "What Can I Say" ...other tracks brush with more experimental moves (check out the aural meltdown on side two's "The Bird").
Elsewhere Summerhill's pretty rural-flavored ballad "The Last Day" is every bit as good as anything being released by "The Byrds", "The Buffalo Springfield", or Poco (who's "Rusty Young" provided pedal steel guitar.
As well, "Alan Parker"'s Fuzz guitar propelled "My Way (Hard for You)" would have sounded right at home on one of Byrds' Preflyte album. And"Friday Morning's Paper" is a magically psychedelic concoction of staggering drums, veiled vocals, drugged strings and Raga guitars belonging on any compilation of this sort and will ring bells with underground music fans...
Even better was the Fuzz guitar and feedback drenched in the killer guitar Pop song "It's Gonna Rain". A great slice of harmony rich, LSD soaked grooves.
