NOTE: eBay has implemented its new FEEDBACK policy to which ANY customer for ANY reason or ANY excuse can give sellers (i.e. "us") negative feedback. Please understand, we have served thousands of "satisfied" customers and processed thousands of orders - far more than our feedback records indicate - It is our intention to give EACH and EVERY buyer our best possible service and we are known to ALWAYS deliver your purchased item. ALL items paid for are processsed 'outbound'  to each and EVERY customer, satisfaction guaranteed.  Keep in mind we have serviced THOUSANDS of satisfied customers and our aim is to continue to do so.

We make every effort to mail all orders out Friday of each week.  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 at most.   We also strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable.  

 TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS:  We often get requests to hold orders to save on shipping.  We are happy to do that.  Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and IF YOU REQUEST we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel.   To receive continual shipping discounts, we will hold your orders as long as you want, but it is necessary to pay each invoice you receive to stay current.   Most importantly, we appreciate your business.

ADVANCE RELEASE PROMOTIONAL COPY...

Original 1971 first pressing on the local Philadelphia based POPPY label ...a very relaxing flowing melodious sound throughout, along the way atmospheric effects pass by in minstrel medieval setting...

Comes with the custom designed POPPY Records original inner sleeve...

For those in Philly's psych-folk circles, those whose music is laced with delicate, classical guitar lines and dark, distant ambience, your queen is out here.

Some of you might not know this album, but don't feel bad as many collectors have yet to chance upon this album ...Almost exclusively guitar, mostly baroque, UK medieval folk and classical melodies, with little bits of old-school analog synthesizer effects off in the background here and there. This Philadelphia guitarist and teacher was writing sensual, potent acoustic-guitar-led instrumentals and recording uneasily lilting, eerily atmospheric records before many of you were born, or at least in diapers.

In Philly's late '60s and early '70s, she was part of a free scene of open-minded radio stations and record labels. While avant-garde stalwarts Charles Cohen (Theremin, oscillator), Jefferson Cain (sitar, autoharp), Mandrake Memorial's Craig Anderton (guitar, organ, Celeste, etc.) and Michael Kac (harpsichord) played on her albums, photographer Doug Randall, graphic designer Milton Glaser and manager David Carroll were behind the scenes making her cover art and booking her gigs. "What got signed; what was on the FM dial; it was a golden age, free, open and all over the place."

Cohen started as a drummer in her Hunting Park-area elementary school. Her first gig was when she was 16 and a neighborhood polka band got her to play a Ukrainian Day fête. She began jazz lessons shortly after, only to wind up backing Stewkie Antoni in the band Elizabeth (before he fronted The Nazz). But like any good actor who wants to direct, this drummer wanted to compose.
