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 IN FACTORY CELLOPHANE ~ RAMPAGE FUZZ PUNK
..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
The FIRE ESCAPE
" Psychotic Reaction "
..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
USA - GNP-Crescendo GNP 2034
TOP COPY! MINT!! FINAL COLLECTION NO UPGRADE NEEDED
STILL IN FACTORY CELLOPHANE
Figure this is a circa '69 pressing by Crescendo Records with red labels, vaguely recall the pressing as out & gone seemingly overnight; it's 45+ years later.
The Fire Escape’s only release on GNP-Crescendo (1967) is still being regarded as a very worthy collectable item, being a kind of a link to the Nuggets-and-related concept sound of the sixties, delivering primitive SEEDS garage-rock sixties shakers through both sides.
Put together by the ultimate freaky scenester, Kim Fowley, along with the “Smoking” West Coast Pop Art Experimentation extraordinaire, Michael Lloyd, and the rumored involvement of the Seeds Sky Saxon & Steppenwolf writer Mars Bonfire, the album is a kind of a “psychotic reaction” to the pioneering garage-punk sounds of the day, while they were still being called just (not exactly) plain pop, or at it’s most outrageous, r’n’b, with the identity of the actual (studio) band being mysteriously hidden from the public eye.
Among such future genre-defining classics as Talk Talk (The Music Machine), 96 Tears (? Mark & The Mysterians), Trip Maker, Pictures And Designs (The Seeds), Fortune Teller (take your own pick) or the title song (The Count V) itself.
As well as the not so classic but just as representative pair of Love Special Delivery (Thee Midniters) and a re-recording of Kim Fowley’s own The Trip, there are two band “originals”, both sharing the songwriting credits of Goldberg/Levine, with Blood Beat being a spooky psychedelicate instrumental, while Journey’s End actually happens to be the most conventionally sounding piece of a folk rocking jangler at it’s best.
With most of the mystery surrounding the album being revealed quite a while ago, the supposed involvement of Sky Saxon and Mars Bonfire is what still remains a rumor. Hard not to mistake Saxon's howling whine, or could it be the mimic of mad-man FOWLEY at his best?!
