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 18,000 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.

RARE, never turning up anymore, FINAL COLLECTION COPY!!!
Still one of the secret delights when talking intense, dynamic & powerful instrumentation, complex moves, loaded with Hammond organ & ripping guitar mixes....
Thee original 1971 first pressing in thick gatefold...the second AMAZING DIONYSOS
...which, may be even more sought after than the first album... and arguably even better...
So, this is the second album by a longhair pioneering crew of Canadian underground characters. Released in 1971 and graced with an abstract artwork, Le Prince Croule ("The Prince Crumbles") is the logical continuation of the first DIONYSOS album, but the quintet have learned a few tricks and Prince is arguably as good or better than the first -- as well as being a concept album, revolving around a crumbling realm and subsequent revolution.
Starting on the heavy dramatics of a surging Hammond organ and some prime acid guitar voltages; Dionysos unleashes into the Prince's New Day (Lever Du Prince), telling us nothing has changed and they're ready to deliver some solid heavy-prog/psych -- again Thibert's vocals are an acquired taste, wailing in overtones as he does. Chanson Du Courage and Demain La Vie are both outstanding, and even better is "Terreur Et Masque" due in great part to the saturated Hammond organ. Most of the album is well in the line of what's been described so far, with plenty of great acid guitar and Hammond organ solos and when the needle lifts from the wax of side A and lands on the flip-side (Prince Jardine means the prince is gardening), while it's still clearly the same group, the songwriting has taken on another dramatic turn with Mort De L'Aigle (Death Of The Eagle) and some truly demonstrative and descriptive playing that the power is shifting and the reign is over. There are some Spanish hints in the most dramatic of times. Ballade Inquiète is the prince realizing his carelessness, but he wonders way too late and the 13-mins+ title track is closing the story with again plenty of fantastic heavy organ/guitar jams in dramatic passages including some inventive vocals.
