In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. 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 18,000 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!

- Germany - United Artists - UAS 29 3441
Very rare 50 years onward, this is the matrix A-1 / B-2 first German 1972 print housed in acid-art laminated gatefold cover.
Highly sought, the album commands "pull your wallet out" prices on world wide collector markets.
- Embryo's 1972 "FATHER SON & THE HOLY GHOST" was the legendary bands "apex of high" album. Playing unusual fantastic blends of striking Krautrock exotica, Embryo's highly skilled musicians flash mixes of psych prog jazz - and beyond seemingly created among the great pyramids in Egypt. Their higher-key elements of eastern-influences are dominated by the dominated by the underrated amazing guitar playing of Sigi Schwab (of "Vampires Sound Incorporated" / "Sexadelic") fame. Schwab, a one-of-a-kind
- invents twisting heavily fuzzed/distortion guitar work to blow-away listener minds! Then switches to sitar, designing a web of exotic atmosphere.
- An all-around solid album that will please all fans of 70's underground rock, psych, prog, Krautrock...
- The "Fan Man" :
- "Is this The Best Krautrock LP of all time !?! The gold medal goes straight to "Father, Son And The Holy Ghost" By Embryo. Squash together the best bits of "Can's" LP 'Delay 68'and "Vampyros" Lesbos" and you might find this album absolutely essential LP"
With Christian Burchard (drums, percussion, marimbaphone, vibes, vocal), Edgar Hofmann (winds, violin), David King (bass, flute, altomarimba, vocal), Sigi Schwab (guitar, sitar, 12 string guitar, veena, tarang)"
- "Father Son & Holy Ghosts" was their third album and one of the finest pieces of work to have come out of Germany in the early '70s. An interesting note is that Miles Davis was a fan of Embryo!
- This is not prototypical German underground prog but very much eastern world influenced raga psych prog rock. EMBRYO utilizes a fantastic range of other instruments as well with marimba, vibraphone, flutes, saxophone, violin, a very versatile percussion arsenal on hand.
- Bassist Dave King is an incredible talent.
- Do not underestimate the above mentioned guitar work of Sigi Schwab - quite stellar without every really overpowering the band.
