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.

1970 FLIPPED-OUT GERMAN UNDERGROUND KRAUTROCK
..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
STAFF CARPENBOURG & THE ELECTIC CORONA
"Fantastic Party"
..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
Germany - Maritim - 47-102
Final collection copy!
Probably one of the weirdest discoveries in the field of collectable German albums in recent years, Staff Carpenborg's "FANTASTIC PARTY" sole output was first brought to the spotlight by the compilers of the celebrated Kraut! Demons! Kraut! psychedelic series. Since then, rumors and interest about the album have risen exponentially since this weird record (and we mean WEIRD) is one of the earliest known examples of Krautrock. How such a demented collection of tunes found their way on the budget Maritim label is up to everyone's guess, specially if one takes into account the label's typical output of budget throwaways with exception of the first Harry Chapter LP under an assumed name. This may also be the reason why Fantastic Party went under the radar for so many diggers and record collectors as little did they expect such craziness would hide in the grooves on this otherwise bizarre looking album cover. No one knows who was behind this weird studio project except a certain Paul Bucher credited on the record as the composer of all tracks. Anyway, what this anonymous bunch of musicians left behind was a puzzling set of psychedelic jams choked with an overdose of sound-effects which can be easily labelled as proto-Kraut. Like the bastard son of Can (or better, The Inner Space) scoring a weird sexadelic Euro flick, this is the missing link connecting a whole string of renegade, left-field German music, from The Vampires of Dartmoore to Amon Düül, that is, from psych-exploitation experiments to bona fide Krautrock. So open your ears to the sounds of the strangest and most fantastic party you're ever to attend with a highly sought TOP COPY 1970 Original of this obscure artifact brought to your awareness for aural delights.
