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!

RARE 1969 ORIGINAL VINYL COLLECTIBLE
THE FANTASTIC PLASTIC MACHINE
\ USA - (yellow) Epic - BN 26469
RARE MINT Original 1969 first pressing vinyl ...as coined a "beautiful psych surf" collectible
By 1965 the surf movie phenomena was flagging; Hollywood had left making room for the real surf scene to re-establish itself. Bruce Brown's third movie, Endless Summer raised the bar even higher than before. It's a faultless picture of ocean ideology and tracks Mike Hynson and Robert August as they follow the summer around the globe, looking for the perfect wave. For the music Brown left his favoured jazz behind, and went for a more youthful and commercial approach, employing The Sandals, a beach-bumming pop-psych quintet formerly known as The Twangs. Their guitar-led score was the first by an authentic surf rock group, and an instant smash.
More underground flicks followed in the wake of Endless Summer, slowly picking up on the psychedelic and dreamy pop values of the latter day 1960s. Follow Me and The Sweet Ride are fine examples of underground hippy surfspolitation, bringing in fractured imagery and hash as well as classy wacked-out scores that mixed guitar with electronics or drifting vocal harmonies.
Other movies took a more factual approach - in Australia the documentary To Ride A White Horse played to packed beachside theatres with all sound provided by Sven Libaek, a Norwegian composer happy to mix straight instrumentation with the avant garde. And The Fantastic Plastic Machine featured world champion surfing across two continents with a sick funky surf-psych-rock score by the little known Harry Betts. Right from the start, the opening title track is a high energy mover with machine gun bongo driven beat with driving melody and tremelo guitar leads ...mood music follows, with other highlights including McTavish, Nats Theme, Outasight and Green Grotto containing more reverb/fuzz guitar & bongos / drums switch off percussions in movin' groovin' go-go rhythms of the swinging sixties....
