We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

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 +22,000 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!

1. March 30, 1968, and THE YARDBIRDS had come to the Lower East side's Anderson Theatre to make what was ultimately to be their farewell concert in New York. The Yardbirds had fallen on evil times, these most progressive of the English rhythm 'n blues bands that had coalesced around the old Crawdaddy Club in Richmond. And now they were entering the twilight, with rumors of an imminent break-up following them wherever they would go. 
2. Gone were the screaming girls, the anguished teenyboppers who would plaster themselves all over the stage as soon as Keith Relf stepped toward the microphone; gone also were the hit singles, the flash of a Clapton or Beck, the incredibly progressive drive that was so much a part of them during their fruitful years. All that was left was the rhythm section of McCarty/Dreja, Keith's voice and a great-credentials-but-who-is-he- featured a lead guitarist named Jimmy Page.
   
       And so, for the hordes of fans who faithfully made the pilgrimage all wondered whether or not THE YARDBIRDS would be able to get-it-on in the way most of us remembered; like in the way Clapton sort of nudged that perfect "four-second break" in "Here 'Tis" or all those insane stops and starts in "I'm Not Talking"; or maybe "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" which was definitely so far ahead of its timeless-time.
   
       Well, getting the benefit of hindsight to look back at the occasion, let us tell you that you're in for one of those maniac rock 'n roll times, which you're going to leave the theater and tell all your friends about, and which they will tell all their friends, and so on, until you have on your hands a concert which approaches legend; LEGEND! The blues/R&B base of the THE YARDBIRDS was/is still here and JIMMY PAGE stepped forward in many ways. He rips-up in soloing on "Train Kept A Rollin,'" and lays out trippy netherworlds on pre-Zeppelin classic (Dazed) "I'm Confused," demonstrating his ethereal mysticism on "White Summer," then extends "I'm A Man" into the kind of macho workout jamming Led Zeppelin would do , all to soon stamping their name on.
   
       This album was quickly withdrawn after Jimmy Page's lawyers filed an injunction. For this reason, it is the rarest Yardbirds album.)
