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 +22,000 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!

TOP COPY
Pretty obscure worthy PRIVATE pressing on the groups own "Delicious" label. This is a late '60s hippie band groover, repeat plays enhance the infectious melodies within topped off by very uplifting, pleasant female vocals. Recommended to those who know what they're after.
Agreeing with RYM's Tymeshifter, Fresh Country Apples is a (classic if there ever was) real sleeper, and this album still remains highly obscure even among hard core collectors. Female vocal West Coast grooves and good period flavor, mixed with some heavier psych influenced cuts. It did surprise quite when finding the material throughout impressive. For those who dig Strawberry Alarm Clock, Millennium,and the late sixties West Coast sound. Overall certainly worthy of investigation.
Judging from the cover, Fresh Country Apples turned out to be a slightly wonderful weird affair... If that goofy guy POKORA hadn't have noted it in his book, many would have gone right on by, with the cover art that is displayed. According to the author (POKORA), the music is "Psychedelic" : such tag fits the cool designed cover and produces a pretty special "want it right now" urge. Side one is comprised of commercial variations for ???? = the WASHINGTON APPLE of course. We do really enjoy the opener which reminds of STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK and the Millennium's groovy tunes too... Side two appears even more interesting, containing self penned material representative of the best of the West Coast sixties sounds. Tracks 3 & 4 side two are outstanding with their own style of MAD RIVER and "Country Joe & The FISH" influences

CONDITION: - The cover: colorful "EX" (excellent) and better ~~ delicious apples cover from 1970 has only light past handling visuals and by far CONSIDERED A collectible original. The 54 years ago cover is a strong keeper copy with NO upgrade necessary (good luck to that anyway!) has a couple (not noticeable) fine-lite handling lines otherwise stiff and strong appearance ...no delete marks, no split seams, and no writing ...
- Collection worthy with pretty fresh appearance
- The vinyl: Rated: M- thick local North West platter is VERY clean, and plays "totally clean" ...no audio surface, no groove wear YET does contain charming, primitive & crude nature leaping from the grooves!
Far out sounds from the '60s underground ...SCARCE original micro-pressing ...final collection copy ... Custom "Delicious" local Washington labels are clean
SEE: SELLERS OTHER ITEMS (((similar grooves for "head" people...)))
