FEEDBACK NOTICE...
For all practical purposes we consider ourselves to have a 100% feedback rating - and hopefully so should you, despite the 9 negative feedbacks we disastrously just received.

We have had the unfortunate experience of a notorious mean spirited (etc.) buyer who purchased many of our weekly listings, when he suddenly became manipulative in handing out unwanted advice which moved into relentless harassment - including threats to issue negative feedback unless demands were met, as in to send him upgrades for records he purchased, exclaiming unreasonable nonexistent issues, as well as his amateur understanding of pressings and labels. In his weekly bidding participation - he keeps the seller paralyzed over his threats of negative feedback  "if something is not met in his demands." 
We came to a point where this buyer became so abusive using personal attacks with foul language and insults, we declared, never again. He was blocked from our listings. He went berserk, writing and phoning stating 80 percent of our listings met his expectations -- untrue, in reality he complained about everything unless it was upgraded - at our expense -- then attempted to claw his way back to us to become unblocked. When we refused to give in, he followed in a tirade issuing us 9 negative feedbacks (the only negatives on our seller's profile) declaring on each negative potential damaging untrue statements about our merchandise and warning all buyers to stay away. We have a have a distinguished reputation with eBay Records for the past 20 years -he is the only ONE who has made such false claims. Some of the negatives given were absolutely for MINT records, others were SEALED and never opened! This is 100% obvious blatant retaliation for his being blocked, but it didn't end there. 
Horrible e-mails have followed after he issued the negatives, ridiculing and gloating that he "got away with damaging our reputation on eBay", and that his goal is to continue to contact eBay and twist their arm in an attempt to get us banned from the site. He claimed he has contacts all over the U.S. and they would continue his dirty work for him. Sure enough, we have confirmed information that a friend of his bid on one of our records to be handed over to the blocked bidder. Because of that, we are anticipating more damaging negative remarks.  Now there is an ongoing conspiracy concocted by this buyer in effort to undermine us at all costs by using any measure - all because we had no choice but to exercise our seller's right to block him. 
Some other sellers on eBay have contacted us stating the same issues occurred with them by this same bad buyer. Others have contacted asking for his IDs so they can avoid having to sell to this obvious problem buyer.  We were noted that he had 4 different alias ID's, with two of them being suspended.  Why he is allowed to keep his other two active is a total mystery. In the words of one of the bad buyer's victims "I hope you guys can get him removed off eBay."  We are in the process of working with upper management in eBay to rid this parasite from causing further discord in an effort to protect ourselves and the entire eBay community.
In the meantime, our plan is to continue our eBay ID and weekly music service listings designed for all the many great collectors who have supported our reputable hard work for the past 20 years on ebay.  We truly appreciate your continued support, and on our part will continue to serve you and not allow this unscrupulous individual interfere with our love of supplying the world with the glue that holds us together....music.

ADVANCED RELEASE PROMOTIONAL

1968 original, the very first FEVER TREE ...first pressing vinyl on the old collected UNI label of the sixties...featuring probably the biggest hit Fever Tree ever had, "San Francisco Girls" ...

An interesting, late-'60s psychedelic group, Houston's Fever Tree is most famous for their single "San Francisco Girls," with its dramatic melody, utopian lyrics, and searing fuzz guitar. Most of their best material produced some fairly distinctive tunes with more of a classical/Baroque influence that was backed by strong arrangements than were usually found in psychedelic groups. Their pretty, wistful ballads (enhanced on their first album by arranger David Angel, who had also worked on Love's classic Forever Changes) endure better than their dirge-like fuzz grinders, which epitomize some of the more generic aspects of heavy psychedelia.

Fever Tree "pretty much had the basic structure of the songs figured out when we went into the studio, but most of the arrangements bloomed in the studio," multi instrumentalist Rob Landes said. "For instance, the beginning of the opening track, you hear an old pump organ play the opening of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. When we recorded that piece, somebody looked over and saw this old pump organ sitting in the corner of the studio. I went over and began playing the Bach on it and Scott (Holtzman) said what a great way to begin the opening. Somebody literally ran around the studio clattering the castanets to get a stereo effect with the several microphones that were set around the studio. If you listen closely, you can hear the squeak of the old bellows as I pumped the organ. So many of the ideas just happened as we were in the studio. I still love to listen to the rain with the occasional car driving by, and the rolling thunder that is present in Come With Me (The Rainsong). Take note as you listen to it, and you will experience how it actually happened that night when we were recording my vocal track — no manipulation of any sort — it is exactly how it happened at that moment. In retrospect for all the elements to align themselves in such a way — it truly seems surreal" ... "We absolutely loved this first album. It was probably way beyond our hopes and expectations by the time we finished it."
