WITH MUCH APPRECIATION TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS: If you have a question on orders received, please contact us. We take Customer Service seriously, and we want you to be satisfied. When leaving Feedback, please consider the following: eBay's policy on the 5-star rating system is anything less than a 5 reduces our standing with eBay and ultimately can affect our selling abilities if we hit 4.6 across the board. Ridiculous, but true.
Please help us strive for 5 stars through your feedback so we may 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.
We mail all paid orders out once a week on Fridays/Saturdays. 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 to Monday. We strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. Please be aware we have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.
TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS: We are happy to hold orders to save on shipping. Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and, if you request, we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel.
As always, thank you for your support!
PERFECT *MINT* 1970 Original HARDPSYCH Collectible
The SHOCKING BLUE
VENUS
USA - COLOSUS RECORDS - CS 1000
BEAUTIFUL (((pristine))) MINTY clean 1970 winning hardrock/psych combination with driving popcraft sound led by stunning female vocals ... the Shocking Blue had it all going here...
***STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER ...including the RARE "VENUS" round sticker on outside of shrink wrap (since most copies lost the original cellophane outer wrapper -- there went the "VENUS" sticker too, making it very rare...
Having signed these Dutch rockers to an American distribution deal with his newly formed Colossus Records, manager Jerry Ross chose to cobble together their American debut from a mix of earlier Dutch albums (notably 1969's "At Home") and European-issued 45s. The cleverly-titled "VENUS" clearly sought to take advantage of the singles's worldwide success, adding a couple of (female singer) Mariska Veres Dutch singles to the mix ("Send Me a Postcard" and "Long and Lonesome Road"). Since the original Dutch albums are rather difficult to obtain, this is a great way to check out the band's impressive hardrock/psych talents.
