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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. 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 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 became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI 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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LEGENDARY FIRST ALBUM!
1968 RARE PARGON HARD & HEAVY GARAGE/BLUES BURNER
McKenna Mendelson BLUES
\ CANADA - PARAGON RECORDS - No.15
RARE and essential !!! BIG BAD BLUES BOOMER!!!
Original 1968 first pressing on the obscure, highly collected PARAGON label...
Jack Boswell at the ALLIED Records helm (Reign Ghost, Plastic Cloud), got word of the mighty McKenna Mendelson Blues band and their rising flame of popularity, decided to cull their 1968 sessions and released it on his PARAGON RECORDS 'Tax Shelter' imprint (kinda like a B movie atmosphere for music releases). Supposedly, this was done without the knowledge of the band members, but remains far and away their best album. If you like raw, intense, scorching blues-rock, loaded with nasty fuzz guitar and rumbling bass & raw throaty vocals, then this is for you... This album, simply titled BLUES, is so raw and powerful it utterly blows away their most popular album " STINK." as "BLUES", has the sound of FULL THROTTLE to the floor, a couple mic's rattling, and the band, exploding.... For example, "Bad Woman" is highlighted by over-the-top gritty distortion on the guitar...same for the lead off, "Drive You" which is a power infused onslaught... All throughout, BLUES on PARAGON is the sound of tight musicians on the bubbling brink with energy and explosive talent and the vibe of being young at the time of the cultural 'garage band' revolution of the '60s....the extended workouts in 11:04 "Bad Women Are Killing Me" and 10:12 "Help Me" are miles ahead similar bands in '68/'69One other main reason that makes BLUES standout, is that it has the involvement of one bass master, DENNY GERRARD , who hailed from the band THE PAUPERS. Denny, was voted best bass player, in a Jazz publication (no less!) 2 years in a row ...in the USA.
