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.

1970 MONSTER HEAVY PSYCH COLLECTIBLE!
WILDFIRE
SMOKIN'
\ USA - OR Records - 11
TOP MINT ....
Long gone official 2nd-press has been out of print for 10 - 15 years ... Wildfire were a '70s powerhouse guitar trio with an amazing colectible sound. They recorded a full album but never made it past the demo stages, only a few were pressed and with no record company interest due to no commercial potential aspects, sadly Wildfire vanished into obscurity until many years later when a small midwest outfit issued the SMOKIN' album. Essential to anyone remotely into old heavy '70s hard rock, underground psych, garage, etc.
From the opening echoed growl of the guitar intro to Stars In The Sky through the ten minute plus jam in Quicksand at the end of side two, this record sits toward the top of the pile of lost-in-time U.S. West Coast psychedelic hard rock privately pressed albums.
It was originally issued in just a plain sleeve with a sticker on the front. Only four or five copies of the original issue, which was made for demo purposes, are known to exist.
The Wildfire's LP Smokin', is an EXCELLENT heavy-rock LP with a hard guitar banging, truly smokin' sound. One of the very best Lp's in the style, from anywhere!
Wildfire created such a stir with their loud amplification (thanks to their POWERFUL "Quilter Amplifiers") and high-energy original songs that other more established bands were in awe of their musical power. This was the only recording of Quilter amplifiers used at full power.
