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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. 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 +21,000 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. 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.

- So this is the seldom seen Original 1973 "MAHESHA"
- second of three albums the mighty THREE MAN ARMY released in the early 70's... influenced by the power CREAM format, the British band formed from the ashes of GUN, also a power trio who managed to release two collectible albums in 1970, and had the hit "RACE WITH THE DEVIL"

- Always been hard to find ...here, finally we have located a highly collectible first printing of the mighty
- " MAHESHA" ...Highly sought after original 1973 original German issue sporting the awesome original cover art mentioned above ...driven my the explosive drumming of Tony Newman
- (MAY BLITZ ) and mighty Gurvitz brothers guitars... heavy MAHESHA THREE MAN ARMY is considered their hardest and probable best of the three albums the trio released. Pretty much loaded with killer status original tunes featuring lots of tight, electrified biting guitar leads, all about that cool sound collectors look for in early 70's rock heavy collectibles...
MAHESHA, the second outing, sounded rougher and bluesier than on their first "Third Of A Lifetime", which sparked frequent comparisons to Cream. Center-stage was Adrian Gurvitz, a true guitar wizard, whose intricate, hard-driving solos had gained notoriety since his days with Gun, backed by a heavy rhythm section. Even though commercial success continued to elude the band , they were highly praised for their tight and professional powerhouse performances, yet strangely as it went for many unknown GREATS, at the end of the day, none of their records made it into the charts (a good thing for the hard underground rock purists). - The crack at big time was attempted with the release of "Mahesha" - alas, it was sadly missed by the unaware public.
- THREE MAN ARMY consists of Adrian Curtis(Gurvitz) on guitar, vocals, keyboards, his brother Paul Gurvitz on Bass/vocals and Tony Newman(ex-May Blitz) on drums.
The level of musicianship is top notch and worthy of any decent collection.
Standout tracks are 'My Yiddishe Mama', 'Mahesha', 'Can't Leave the Summer(Part 1 and 2)', Woman, The Trip, and 'Take me down from the Mountain'. - There are no bad tracks on this album.
