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.

RARE '70s PRIVATE Connecticut PRESSING
UNDERGROUND PSYCH PROG HIPPIE CREW
THE D.R. HOOKER BAND
ARMAGEDDON
\ USA - "ON" RECORDS (Private Press)
"""ACID ARCHIVES""" (no doubt about it, this is the RARE THICK cardboard cover, 100% original first print...not the flimsy cover 2nd issue)
STILL IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAP -- a BEAUTIFUL TOP COPY
TOP MINTY CLEAN...and rare....
This is the RARE 35 years old highly collectible Connecticut private pressing of the second D.R.HOOKER album, a Xian psych legend of sorts. Originally recorded in 1973 and released at the end of the '70s. Fans of private press psych and folk will find a lot to love here. Rough, trippy, demo recordings made two years after his legendary "The Truth" Lp .... Raw mid-70s psych ... It is somewhat well known that these recordings were made in 1973, as witnessed by the copyright date on the back cover, but not originally released until '79, as witnessed by the publishing date on Connecticut-based Here Music/On Records. A "demo tapes & rough mixes" album featuring a different line-up then featured on Hooker's legendary debut: Carroll Yanni (lead guitar), Bert McDevitt (drums, Bob Reardon (keyboards) and Steve Malkan (bass). "The recordings you will hear are the result of the efforts of a group of talented and creative musicians. This recording was not originally intended for public release. The music has a more elaborate progerssive sound than his legendary "The Truth" debut from 1972 and still with a living room private press feel...
The back cover says, WARNING: DEMO TAPES & ROUGH MIXES, should you save your precious ears? No no no, this is still good stuff, well worth listening too. The music itself is pretty much in the same vein in as The Truth, with some prog moves and crazy moog sounds.
D.R. Hooker - vocals, guitar
Carrol Yanni - guitar
Bert McDevitt - drums
Bob Reardon - keyboards
Steve Malkan - bass
