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.

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.

1970 RARE PRIVATE HIPPIE ROCK W/ MEMORABLE MELODIES

USA - Delicious - S 2429
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 capable, 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. It's female vocal West Coast grooves and good period flavor, mixed with some heavier psych influenced cuts. It probably did knock our socks off when finding the material throughout was found to be highly 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 turns 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 the cover art displayed. According to the author (POKORA), the music is "Psychedelic" : this tag somehow fits the beautifully designed cover to produced an attractive desire on us and a sort of gives a "want it right now" urge. This Lp is pretty special. Side one is comprised of the rendition of their commercials for ???? the WASHINGTON APPLE. We do indeed really enjoy the opener which reminds of STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK and the Millennium groovy tunes too... Side two appears even more interesting, containing self penned material representative of the best West Coast sound. Tracks 3 & 4 side two are outstanding with their MAD RIVER and "Country Joe & The FISH" influences.
