From my own vast private collection gathered over last 45+ years ...these mostly from 1973 - 1978 I had my own Record Store here in Northern California in the 1970's and 80's -and bringing in wonderfully vibrant and amazing Progressive Rock Imports was a top specialty and priority - I was (still am) so nuts about this music that I had 3 different evolving weekly Radio Programs dedicated to it over 20 years - and loved nothing more than turning folks on to these bands and immersing myself and my audience in these exotic sounds. Now it is finally time for me to pass them on - my hardest LPs to part with, some 8 boxes of which I shall be listing throughout this Spring. Many of the leading progenitors of the 1st progressive era, but quite a few more obscure but no less amazing artists of the period. . *Sadly I am NOT FAST at listing and can only get around 50 up at a time, but they will keep on coming approximately every other week (as I pause between, to focus on top level packing and immediate shipping) so keep checking back.
This leads me to the subject of "collecting" purchases for combined shipping for further purchases, which some ask for. I am happy to save LPs that are purchased for up to 30 days IF YOU ASK Me to - but I MUST receive payment within 7 days of initial purchase. I honestly cannot afford to sell these and not get paid by big buyers for 30 days. I would be absolutely ruined - so payment must be received within 7 days of purchase. Your note on your PayPal payment to HOLD items for combined shipping later (no more than 30 days out) will guarantee their being saved aside for your further bidding. When you state that you are done, your invoice will be revised to reflect complete shipping discount at that time. If you DO NOT ASK me to hold, it will Ship within 24 hours. CHECK MY FEEDBACK, I am ALWAYS 100% RELIABLE on this. International bidders note that any package over 4 Lbs. (usually 5 to 6 LPs or more) MUST ship by PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL. US Post Office no longer ships above that weight at the lower, slower 1st Class International rate. . The vinyl here is in uniformly spectacular condition (Most being EX+ to NM) always extremely carefully handled. Some of the covers have minor issues - a small handful have significant issues, but the great majority are in VG+ to EX+ condition. Almost everything offered here is Original 1st Press - Full Details for each given in Description below.
SPECIAL NOTE: I had planned SOUND CLIPS to accompany many of these listings, but the online AUDIO FILE host/management site I use has now gone bust, NEVERTHELESS, I (not knowing) did indeed record a slew of sound clips. If you are curious on any of these, ask me  - and if I have made the short mp3 samples for it, I will try to get it to you.

RAMSES Records 2473 911
Original 1980 issue LP
Original Info / Photos custom Inner Sleeve included MADE in FRANCE
.
VINYL is EX+
Gleaming gloss vinyl has one small pressing mark at edge of side one that does not sound and a few extremely faint sleeve hairlines that are likewise inaudible. LP plays NM throughout.Labels superb both sides.
PLEASE NOTE: My camera is absolutely TERRIBLE at representing BLACK print on RED background ... Sharp, crisp text print (like this label has) ends up looking blurry, faded and washed out. This is purely a digital transfer artifact and does not reflect on the excellent quality of the solid, sharp print on these labels.
 ...Likewise the (NIKON?!!) camera cannot accurately resolve the grooves of a record (!!) so ...in ALL of my listings... the vinyl will look mottled and/or blurred out. SAD, because we have some superb vinyl here!
.
COVER is NM
Still in original shrink wrap; crisp and minty all around. Shrink wrap is complete with no breaks, splits or tears. No wear, creases, soil or marks.

STRICT CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE VISUAL GRADING
NM / EX(VG++) / VG+ / VG

Powerful, searing Electronic Prog Rock?.?

... a HELDON LP in all but name, all the major players from the band are onboard here, with Pinhas actually co-writing one (my absolute favorite) track: "Variana".
Pure Analog synth heaven with plenty of searing intensity along with some very strong distorted and fuzz guitar work (Pinhas, Ettori and Grünblatt all get strong guitar licks in here!). Solid bass, drums and organ accompany the Moogs, Oberheim, and other keys and electronics - or "Synaptiques" as they call it on the back cover.
Recorded and mixed at Studio Ramses, Autumn 1977.
a MUST Have for fans of Pinhas, Heldon, Ose, et al!

Original Info / Photos custom Inner Sleeve is superclean NM with no splits
.
Disc kept in separate ANTI-STATIC inner sleeve to protect both the original inner and the vinyl.
Even though still in the original shrinkwrap Album kept in a protective, poly outer-sleeve. .
