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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. Please 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. 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 and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI 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.

One of the most under-rated albums of 1965. The Lovin' Spoonful’s first four proper albums are their best. Their first album starts brilliantly in one of their finest moments with a title track that works its magic instantly. John Sebastian shows a remarkable mastery of blues and folk forms and a rare ability to write witty and vibrant NEW material within an idiom dogged by superfluous cover versions and reverential homage. There are a lot of very strong songs here that could have been developed into garage rock gems (My Gal, Wild About My Lovin'). Sebastian is the John Fogerty of 1965 and its strange how he was unable to consolidate and continue his writing in this style. America needed him and was desperately short of good home grown groups until 1967. Gradually John drifted further from rock and R&B influences towards melody rich pop-rock. Dogged by lousy production (like the Kinks) the Spoonful rarely sounded better as a group than on Night Owl Blues and Do You Believe in Magic in November 1965. The first Lovin' Spoonful albums showed such huge promise. Unlike, say, the Grateful Dead, who started as a jug band and then got weird, the Spoonful started as a jug band and switched to folk-pop-rock, but with the same sense of fun and sly jokes that were standard for any jug band. As such, they filled a gap between the cool folk-rock of the Byrds and the catchy pop of the radio friendly sixties. They deserve a lot more attention from rock history than they have received. Basically, the idea was that the Spoonful would do for jug band music what the Byrds were doing for Dylan and the Stones were doing for Chicago blues: use it as source material to create a pop sound that would be palatable to the white teen market. Not a masterpiece, but a solid debut, and one of the early landmarks of folk-rock.
