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.

Self-produced, 1971's "In Hearing of Atomic Rooster" was released in the wake of another round of personnel changes from the year before 'Death Walks Behind You' album; this time drummer Rick Parnell was replaced by Paul Hammond (ex-Andromeda and ex-Farm), and former Leafhound front man Pete French brought on to handle lead vocals and like magic, the revised Atomic Rooster turning out what may have been their most impressive album. Exemplified by tracks like 'Breakthrough' and 'Break the Ice' the album found the band offering a much heavier guitar and keyboard propelled sound. Progressive touches remained in the mix, but the overall sound was far more conventional and rock oriented than found on the first two LPs. Check out the side one closer 'Devil's Answer' which was released as a UK single and actually went top-5 ('Devil's Answer' b/w 'The Answer.' Though their voices were quite similar French and Crane both proved first-rate singers. Other highlight included the pretty keyboard propelled ballad 'Decision / Indecision' and the bluesy infectious groove of 'Black Snake'. The whole LP is well performed and executed, not only worth hearing, but worth owning -- it only gets better with each listen. That was quite a complement given the set clocked in at over 40 minutes. And ya gotta love Roger Dean's sleeve design...
