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.

" SEA SHANTIES "

USA - LIBERTY RECORDS (PROMO)
FINAL COLLECTION MINTY ALL OVER COPY!... a rare one, looks and plays plays extremely well ~ predominantly M- condition, has no audio surface issues.
......................................................................................................
This is the ORIGINAL 1969 first pressing in gatefold cover (see full condition details below)
This is the ultimate HEAVY-psych sound from England when talking 1970... Top-Of-The-Heap reputation by collectors some 50 years later...
......................................................................................................
HIGH TIDE'S "SEA SHANTIES" is undeniably miles ahead of its time: a powerful, haunting wall of sound which is only let down by poor production values, all too revealing of the 48+ years that have passed since the album's release. Strangely enough, though, the muddy sound quality adds to this record's almost sinister fascination - as well as the disturbing, distinctly gothic sleeve, possibly inspired by Coleridge's marvellous "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner".
The band's psychedelic roots are quite evident throughout the album, especially in Tony Hill's Jim Morrison-influenced vocals and heavy, distorted guitar riffing. What is really distinctive in High Tide's sound, though, is the presence of Simon House's electric violin, adding at times a touch of lyricism to the overall darkness of the compositions, at other times becoming as obsessively strident as its sparring partner, the guitar. As a matter of fact, the album's highlight features a 9-minute long duel between guitar and violin: the monumental "Death Warmed Up" is without any doubt one of the best jams ever written, a driving, exhilarating tour de force which would be deserving of much greater fame.
This album is not for the faint-hearted, as its brooding atmosphere and fiercely distorted sounds can be heavy going for those who are more used to classic, symphonic prog.In any case, "Death Warmed Up" is worth the price of the record alone. Enjoy the ride.

CONDITION: The cover thick gatefold, rated: M- TOP COPY! Very clean and solid all over and still snow white clean some 50 years later!! The LP is highly scarce and collectible ( and usually (IF) found is dirty) ...
The vinyl is rated: M- TOP COPY = glossy over both sides, clean appearance and plays outstanding! Pretty much the dark wall of sound on this LP surges and prevails...
Both Liberty labels are spotlessly clean.
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
