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.

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.

"BANG A GONG" STICKER ON OUTER SHRINK WRAPPER = One of the most wear-prone covers of them all
HARDER than you can imagine to find a 1971 original pressing with a cover that normally is found with a lot of wear. The cover is almost always found with shelf wear; here a similar surviving collection item in black/gold thick gatefold cover!!!
. The hard chugging riffing of the metallic boogie within hits one immediately, was only later that the 'scene' got tagged as 'glam' but the pioneering rockin' T-Rex Lp is a sudden impact of sharp hard rock rhythms and shakes drenched in catchy timeless melodics with wonderfully weird lyrics...many forget the powers within...."ELECTRIC WARRIOR"
The legendary electric boogie swagger that set London on fire ...The last time such a frenzy came about in England was Beatlemania almost 10 years earlier... Electric Warrior is a fierce groover centered on Bolan's pouting vocals and self assured strutting attack -- weilding his thrashing guitar to full effect.
The album that essentially kick-started the U.K. glam rock craze, Electric Warrior completes T. Rex's transformation from hippie folk-rockers into flamboyant avatars of trashy rock & roll.
There are a few vestiges of those early days remaining in the acoustic-driven ballads, but Electric Warrior spends most of its time in a swinging, hip-shaking groove Marc Bolan's warm electric guitar. The music recalls not just the catchy simplicity of early rock & roll, but also the implicit sexuality -- except that here, Bolan gleefully hauls it to the surface, singing out loud what was once only communicated through the shimmying beat.
He takes obvious delight in turning teenage infectious rock into campy sleaze, not to mention filling it with pseudo-psychedelic hippie poetry. In fact, Bolan sounds just as obsessed with the heavens as he does with sex, whether he's singing about spiritual mysticism or begging a flying saucer to take him away. It's all done with the same theatrical flair, but Tony Visconti's spacious, echoing production makes it surprisingly convincing.
Still, the real reason Electric Warrior stands the test of time so well -- despite its intended disposability -- is that it revels so freely in its own absurdity and willful lack of substance. Not taking himself at all seriously (yeah, right), Bolan was free to pursue whatever artful wordplay, cosmic fantasies, or non sequitur imagery he feels like; his abandonment of any pretense to art becomes, ironically, a statement in itself. Bolan's lack of pomposity, back-to-basics songwriting, and elaborate theatrics went on to influence everything from hard rock to punk to new wave. But in the end, it's that sense of playfulness, combined with a raft of irresistible hooks, that keeps Electric Warrior such an infectious, invigorating listen today.
