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.

FINAL COLLECTION COPY - *best* one could hope for
From the self-mythologizing acid-tripping opener "The Psychedelic Warlords (Disappear In Smoke") right on to the raver of a closer "Paradox", the Hall Of The Mountain Grill is an exciting, cohesive and occasionally even beautiful album. While the succeeding album Warrior On The Edge Of Time has many proponents, this is ultimate Hawkwind album as far as many fans are concerned.
All the familiar sonic acid-rock trademarks are here, but never before or after, do they match this sort of intensity and creativity. As mentioned above, "Psychedelic Warlords" is propulsive as hell, with a great jam, with the players all in the groove with newcomer Simon House and Nik Turner standing out. The crystal envelopment in "Wind Of Change" with Dave Brock on organ and some great violin lines from House is just so beautiful and is probably a fan favourite Hawkwind song, even if it is not characteristic and far more symphonic than one is used to from this group. Then again another favourite Hawkwind creation is "D-Rider," one of the best storming driving Hawkwind songs ever. What a vocal melody! It really takes the listener out to space, especially when the whole songs starts swirling ... whoosh, just like that!
You know a great variation? The space-folk of "Web Weaver," which is acoustic guitar and a host of sounds that swoop down from the heavens. "You'd Better Believe" It is another memorable acid-rock gem. Elsewhere, "The Hall Of The Mountain Grill" track is a dark keys-led majestic groover that calls to mind a scene from a horror-tinged sci-fi movie while "Lost Johnny " is a different beast altogether, composed and sung by future Motorhead star Lemmy Kilminster, but dressed up in Hawkwind sonic effects (as opposed to the hell-raising Motorhead formula). Onward "Goat Willow" is an ethereal stream of consciousness with Nik Turner on whirling flute. Overall, the album has a clear, crisp and fittingly spacious production quality, thankfully not tipping over into an echo-drenched mush, each instrument clear and distinct. If you love space-rock, this IS an essential album for your library!
