Description
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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

SCARCE 1968 ORIGINAL "PSYCHEDELIC SIXTIES"
The MYSTIC ASTROLGIC CRYSTAL BAND
CLIP-OUT PUT-ON
\ USA - CAROLE - CARS 8003
Original 1968 first pressing of the RARE second and sadly last Mystic Astrologic Crystal Band Lp ... a flavorful fun artifact of the sixties that contains tracks that grow on the listener with each listen
Released the following year, 1968's "Clip-Out, Put-On Book" wasn't a major stylistic departure from their first album. Again produced by Mr. Grass, the dozen tracks were a bit more diverse, but like the debut the album served as a spotlight for Steve Hoffman's considerable talents. In addition to handling some of the lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards, etc. Hoffman was again responsible for penning all 12 songs. To his credit Hoffman was a talented craftsman; almost chameleon like in his ability to mimic popular styles and the sounds of other acts. That gave the album a fun 'spot-the-influence' characteristic ... Opening up with a stab of guitar feedback and some freak-out guitar 'The M.A.C.B. Theme' sounded like a "Sgt Pepper" outtake, 'Early Dawn' offered up a cool hybrid of breezy West Cost popsike meet the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the martial paced 'Gaberdene Square' sounded like the band had been listening to some Jefferson Airplane, 'I Think I'll Just Lie Here and Die' sported a distinctive blue-eyed soul influence (love the 'gimme some skin' voice). Other highlights came in the form of cool sounding Monkees-styled 'Krystalize' and 'Today' (the latter with Davy Jones-styled vocal). Professional, entertaining and fun, Hoffman and company were enthusiastic enough to pull off all of the grooves within. This one certainly has that 'creep' factor in that the more you listen to it the more enjoyable it becomes.
