In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 22,000+ positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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!

Using the eBay App? Paste link into a browser window: - THIRD EAR BAND originated from Canterbury and started out as a psychedelic band called THE GIANT SUN TROLLEY gaining residency in south-London clubs doing long and improvisations and eventually changing their names to THE HYDROGEN JUKEBOX, supposedly recording one live album with Sweeney's percussion as scissors clipping noise (with the mike attached to them) as he progressively undressed completely his girlfriend by clipping off her dress during the concert (very "in" at that time).
- Having finished their concert recording they discovered all their equipment stolen. So by sheer coincidence and obvious necessity, they became, at first a strangely exotic acoustic band taking the name
- THIRD EAR BAND.
Third Ear Band were unusual in an era noted for unusual groups. - The conventional artistry of rock was put through all kinds of odd permutations, but there was always something linking prog groups to conventional rock music - an electric guitar, a drum kit, conventional songs
- - but Third Ear Band had none of those things. Violin, cello, oboe and hand held (bongo) percussion playing lengthy instrumental pieces which owed more to minimalism and ragas than to the Beatles or the Stones, so it's remarkable that all of their albums made it into the UK top 50 and that they became a fixture on the festival circuit, yet they did!
This 2nd THIRD EAR BAND album (sometimes referred to as "Elements") was indeed their second effort, and features four long pieces named after each of the four Earth elements. Air opens the proceedings with some wind noises, the four musicians gradually fading in during the first two minutes. This sets the tone for the rest of the album; nobody solos, nobody coasts and the pieces have a mantra like, compelling quality to them. The playing is interesting from all four musicians. - Glenn Sweeney's feverish percussion at times can be compared to some of Daniel Fieschelsher's work with Popol Vuh, another band who were as concerned with vertical texture as they were with linear development.
- Paul Minns plays the oboe with a surprising range of tone and impeccable phrasing - in some parts he's overdubbed, creating a shenai-like sound as the melody lines chase each other over the rhythmic foundation. Air is as light and breezy as it's title suggests, while Earth starts as a slow paced dance around the Maypole, with pizzicato strings and plodding percussion, and gradually builds to a dervish frenzy before the whole thing falls away and starts again. Fire is a monotonous, dissonant piece over 9 minutes entrancing, while Water is appropriately the gentlest of the four tracks, featuring another enchanting Paul Minns oboe part over a hypnotic beat and some low viola and cello chords. The album closes with the sound of waves lapping the shore, as it started with the sound of the wind.
