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!!! #283 OF 300 COPIES!
EXPLOSIVE 1971 HEAVY PSYCH MONSTER!
"JERONIMO"
\ PRIVATE PRESSING = CUSTOM LABEL
MINT ... HEAVY PSYCH LEGEND... and BEAST!
Hard to find and long, long gone 2nd pressing with GREAT sound quality of the mighty JERONIMO (2nd Lp) ... NUMBERED (#283) of only 300 made ...this was issued nerly 20 years ago, so it's not around...at all. The first pressing from 40+ years ago is valued and quickly sells for a staggering $800+ ...the reason why, and the story behind the album:
There were a lot of bands in the '70s in the shadow of the "four big ones" (Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep) who were underrated and forgotten.
One of them was Jeronimo. The name fits because their music was similar HEAVY quality, and maybe they remained unknown only because they were not from the UK or from the USA.
Featuring the solid guitar riffs and vocals of Michael Koch and backed by the rhythm section of bassist Gunnar Schäfer and drummer Ringo Funk, Jeronimo contained nine tracks of rip roaring early heavy psych of the best kind ... . A great example from the album is End of Our Time, which features ferocious guitar work, furious drum work, and a wicked bass line.
Shades has a similar sound to the debut of Lucifer's Friend, again showing that savage rock quality with competent musicianship. The album could be more polished, but the smattering of sloppiness and raw flavor adds more personality to the proceedings. The trio of Schafer, Koch and Funk went on to record what since has become one of the most hunted German albums among collectors: the self-titled Jeronimo with the "Indian cover", in many respects their greatest album.
In 1970 Jeronimo and "Steppenwolf" toured successfully through Germany and in the same year Jeronimo partook in the legendary "Progressive Pop Festival" in Cologne. Following that, Jeronimo shared the headlines with such groups as "Deep Purple" and "Golden Earring" at various European open-air festivals.
For some unknown reason, only a small number of copies were pressed and the album withdrawn from the market. Heavy prices by collectors around the globe are offered for a any copy... Still stranger the album was never officially re-released, as wer their two other albums, "Cosmic Blues" and "Time Ride"
