Description
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. 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

MINT .... TOP COPY ....
-FRESHLY UN-SEALED! ... this is a rare keeper ... haven't seen a copy like this in quite awhile... gotten hard to find in any condition - ORIGINAL '68 release!
Original 1968 first pressing by the legendary and sought after CHAMAELEON CHURCH, an obscure psych band from the "BOSSTOWN SOUND" '60s scene, featuring a young CHEVY CHASE on drums before he went into movie stardom...
Includes the original MGM printed inner sleeve
Can't say we know all that much about this outfit's history. Multi-instrumentalist Kyle Garrahan and guitarist Ted Myers had been in "The Lost", before hooking up with drummer Chevy Chase and multi-instrumentalist Tony Scheuren to form the CHAMAELEON CHURCH. In the process of developing the Bosstown sound, the quartet attracted the attention of manager/producer Alan Lorber, who promptly signed them to MGM.
For some reason, this one-LP outfit seems to get little respect from the collecting community and that's a shame as it is vastly underestimated. Whatever the case, it's a fact that future SNL star Chevy Chase was the band's drummer -- and 1968's "Chamaeleon Church" offers up a wonderful set of harmony rich, "flower poprock" and lite psych (do you like the Left Banke and the sort?) ... Largely written by guitarist Ted Meyers, tracks such as "Come Into Your Life", "Blueberry Park" and "" bare more than a passing resemblance to the likes of Millennium and The Left Banke, though without the latter's Baroque touches ... to our ears the standout track is the infectiously strong "Camilla Is Changing".
