I'm NOT answering questions any more like "How much is shipping to Absurdistan" or wherever to, neither will I respond to inquiries like "Please separate the records from ...". All this stuff can be found on this site by anybody who can read, or at least is willing to do so.

All records are shipped the same day your payment gets here. It takes about 3 to 4 days in the EUROPEAN UNION for a package to reach the buyer. All shipments are NOT in my responsibility any more after they cross the GERMAN border that same day. It's up to your DOMESTIC MAIL SERVICE or CUSTOMS if it takes longer. Sometimes packages are hold up to 6 weeks for reasons unknown to me. So in case ... please don't PANIK. I've NEVER lost a shipment in all my years on ebay but my INSURANCE POLICY is still in order.

Record Condition

Comments : All my records are graded conservatively after international acclaimed GOLDMINE standard. All records are graded visually, not play-tested, except where noted. I NEVER grade a record MINT unless it's in a STILL SEALED cover OR if the record comes from my own collection and I KNOW it's never been played.

Side A : NM

Side B : NM

Details / Extras : Thick and heavy record comes from my own collection, looks unplayed and shows NO signs of use. I doubt you'll ever find a better copy of this gem. 

Cover / Label Condition : 

Comments : All my covers, labels and inners are graded conservatively after international acclaimed GOLDMINE standard. I ALWAYS grade them half a note WORSE than they actually are. I've had too many problems with MOON GRADINGS as a BUYER in my years of collecting.

Comments : Whether this legendary band from Scotland should be included in the German rock section or not is up to anybody's guess, but as they had a German drummer, were based in Germany and their album only was released in Germany, I think it is justified! This is a heavy progressive garage rock masterpiece with such a bizarre vocalist, his voice makes Captain Beefheart sound like Art Garfunkel! The line-up was: Byron Grant (lead guitar, violin), John Latimer (vocals, piano, organ, percussion), Byron Grant (guitars, fiddle), Mike Reoch (bass, flute, piano, harmonica) and Manfred Bebert (drums, percussion). Their only album included a freaked version of "Soul Francisco" as well as self-written, thunderin' blues-rock classics such as "Movin' Along" and "Freedom's Fight". A stunning party record! The album came with impressive, absurd cover art.

Original Philips copies now sell for up to 500.00 $ or more. The album was re-issued in 1981 on ZYX in Germany with a single sleeve with completely different artwork. Luckily, Second Battle put it right again in 1990, when they released 1,000 copies of the album featuring the original cover plus a copy of the original Philips insert with information.

This is a RARE German LIMITED pressing of 1000 copies of one of the scarcest and hardest to find KRAUT ROCK MONSTERS.
