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!

CHOCOLATE WATCHBAND
ONE STEP BEYOND
\ USA - (White label) TOWER RECORDS - ST 5135
MINTY CLEAN VINYL !
RARE ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL of the highly collectible 3rd Chocolate Watchband album, raw West Coast garage rock & crystal folkrock mixes
The third and final of the original studio albums by the Chocolate Watchband, One Step Beyond is as close as the Chocolate Watchband ever got to making an album of their own, which is reflected in the fact that all but one song here was an original by the bandmembers; but on the other hand, this is a slightly different Watchband lineup, assembled by Sean Tolby and Bill Flores, including guitarist Mark Loomis and drummer Gary Andrijasevich (both of whom had left in 1967 to join the Tingle Guild), and original, Foothill College-era Chocolate Watchband member Danny Phay (who'd also been in the Tingle Guild). Missing is David Aguilar, the band's one-time lead singer and most visible songwriter up to that time -- and the result is an album that has almost none of the influence of the Rolling Stones garage punk, and, instead, shows the greatest folk & garage rock influence in their history. The overall sound is sometimes raw rock and other times brittle but melodic, reminiscent in some ways of the Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Charlatans, Moby Grape, and the Jefferson Airplane. Danny Phay isn't nearly as charismatic a singer as Aguilar, but he's not bad, either, and there are lots of interesting shared vocals. There's also quite a bit more guitar rhythms and fuzzed leads here than on any previous Watchband recording. "Devil's Motorcycle" is also of special interest to fans of Moby Grape, as it features the Grape's Jerry Miller subbing for Loomis on lead guitar. They shine on "I Don't Need No Doctor" as well as the Loomis/Andrijasevich original "Uncle Morris," and "Flowers" was a beautiful piece of folk-based psychedelia, while Sean Tolby's "Fireface" recaptured some of the original band's thicker rock textures. Original Foothill College-era member Ned Torney was also present on the sessions playing keyboards, but his work was left out of the final mix of the album, which meant the guitars get even greater exposure. The overall album is an interesting and well-played coda to the band's history.

CONDITION: The Cover: Very solid all over, would have been a clean "EX" (excellent) to M- BUT a brain dead made (thankfully just a few) pen mark 'doodles' on back cover (see photo #2) and one that is light and hard to notice on top left front, other than a 'touch' of hardly any wear on front, bright original colors prevail. The back cover sans the pen doodles is M- clean, so while that grade has to be reconsidered...maybe someone creative can remove the pen maks and have a killer cover. Red (Tower) promo stamp on back cover... no split seams, no bends, no writing ... the vinyl is TOP clean:
The Vinyl: very clean over both sides, rated at M- looks and plays strikingly clean and clear ... both White promo labels are CLEAN
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
