PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. 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.

1970 ORIGINAL *WHITE LABEL PROMO* VINYL !!!
J.D. BLACKFOOT
THE ULTIMATE PROPHESY
\ USA - MERCURY RECORDS (WHITE LABEL PROMO) -SR 61288 -
RARE...and CLEAN...ADVANCE RELEASE "WHITE LABEL PROMO"
Original 1970 VINYL first pressing, very rare and obviously sought as a white label promo ... White label promotionals are the first to be pressed off the freshly cut masters, so are of the best sound quality. Limited pressings, they were sent out to select radio stations and magazines for review, now of course very collectible...
THE ULTIMATE PROPHESY
The side long epic title track "The Ultimate Prophecy" is comprised of 5 songs that tell a philosophy of life, death, and rebirth back into this universe.
J.D. Blackfoot is both the name of the singer and the band. They were from Ohio and won a contract in a 'battle of the bands', although it is hard to believe that there was much of a battle left to fight once these boys took the stage. Think what Henry VII would have made of Bosworth if he had a nuclear missile to play with and you'll get some idea of how much better than practically anything else of its sort this album is !
What is so good about this album is that it contains the sound of a real BAND -- consistently sparky interplay and inteligent flourishes from each musician, all within a storming selection of songs. The Ultimate Prophecy boasted two talented songwriting guitarists: Craig Fuller and Jeff Whitlock. This is easily one of the heaviest psychedelic records of the type, from the USA in '70, that you'll come across, filled with absolutely berserk drumming and riffing and completely inscrutable lyrics wailed very tunefully by J.D. What lifts this out of the heavy rock/psych quagmire is the sensitive and very nimble playing by all on display throughout. The musicianship is excellent and each song is distinguished. The first side consists of five very memorable songs, guitarists Fuller and Whitlock dominate these tracks -- two of which are pretty, psychedelic ballads and the remainder of which absolutely roar- in particular the mysterious 'Good Day Extending Company' which was obviously influenced by Moby Grape's blitzkrieg acid-rural, the group utterly rages, yet keeps it all buried in rich, moist soil. It's a stellar track for sure. There's a good reason why Blackfoot opened the Mercury-released Ultimate Prophecy not with his own wacked-out, hippie shtick, but with two compositions from his young guitarist -- because he was in a league of his own.
Side 2 consists of a 20-minute psychedelic opus in several linked sections, called The Ultimate Prophecy, which has to be heard to be believed. Absolutely skull-splitting drumming and razor-sharp guitar are present and correct throughout, overlaid by LSD-dosed monologues from Mr. Blackfoot himself. Here's an excerpt: "and he hath given to the earth people/ To sit and look profound/ But they will be known as love creatures/ Born to live on sound-ound-ound-ound" This stands as one of the best 'sides' we've had the pleasure to 'know'.
