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.

The 1969 second album by the illustrious Joe Cocker ... a booming energized affair...Just freshly together here with his famous Grease Band and sojust after they made history at the historic Woodstock festival...Along with his first album (A Little Help From My Friends), this is one of Cockers two best albums...highly inspired and exploding, the powerful delivery drives home tracks like "She Came Through The Bathroom Window", "Delta Lady", "Dear Landlord" and virtully all the rest - there are no bad cuts ... many have forgotten or never knew how explosive this album is!
Joe Cocker's delightful second album is ample proof that the imagination that transformed a song so fixed in our minds as With A Little Help From My Friends has not run out of things to do, nor fallen into the trap of "stylization."
Joe, his Grease Band, and their friends – who together form one of the toughest rhythm and blues bands outside of just about anything – starting from the bottom up in re-arranging material as familiar as Dear Landlord or She Came In Through The Bathroom Window. It's not a matter of "improving" the songs, but of removing them from their original sound and conception to such a degree that they remain great music and still don't really remind the listener of the original versions. Not just anyone can carry off lines like those, from Leonard Cohen's Bird On The Wire: "Like a bird on the wire ... I will try, in my way, to be free." When Joe sings it those words seem as timeless as the wisdom of the blues.
Cocker himself was beginning to sound like a master, his band surprised as well. Their introduction to She Came In Through The Bathroom Window sounds like a fat man splitting his pants – and then Cocker falls in like he slipped on a bar of soap. The song itself has that hilarious circus sound of Dylan's Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window. And maybe that's not a coincidence.
What was special about Joe Cocker in this album, is that he is so much fun to listen to, because the fun he's having – on stage, picking his phantom guitar with mad frenzy, or on record, letting his own excesses communicate his real emotion – is completely infectious.
