Fantuzzi is a singer, songwriter, and spiritual teacher with a mission of world peace. He has been devoted to the purpose for over 50 years, developing his mission when he attended Woodstock in 1969. In fact, he is the person on the iconic Newsweek cover celebrating the festival. He has recorded four albums during his career, and he is still performing and teaching today. This was his beautiful debut album. It was released several years after Woodstock, but it has that peace and love aura that was the driving force of the mid-60’s peace and love era. It’s an absolutely beautiful collection that features Jeremy Steig on flute. There are several brilliant musicians performing here. The album was released on the private press Akashic Records label in 1978 with no catalog number. This is one of only two records released on this label. The vinyl is in absolutely beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light paper scuffs that barely impact play. It plays with almost no background noise. The vinyl grades VG+. The album cover shows light ring wear and very light corner and edge wear. All seams are sharp, tight, and intact. The cover is autographed by Fantuzzi. See the photo of the message to Lauren found on the back of the cover. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.  Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $24. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically the cost per album will be no more than $30.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
