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.

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!

ORIGINAL 1969 FIRST PRESS Mint in factory cellophane
..
The RAINBOW PRESS
Sunday Funnies
USA - MR "G" RECORDS - G-9004-A
SHARP LOOKING TOP COPY --- STILL IN FACTORY CELLOPHANE1969 RARE first press...on many want lists...
For an album that's becoming a major sought after collectable, remarkably little is known about Rainbow Press, other than the band recorded two late '60s albums (There's A War On & Sunday Funnies) for the mysterious Mr. G label. The album itself is excellent late '60s soft psych-rock ala "Afterglow" Lp on MTA, with more than just a touch of psychedelia about it. The ten well-crafted songs are all original, and are delivered smoothly by a tight 6-piece band dominated by Joe Groff's superb vocals...
"Rainbow Press" started in 1968 by NY college students - Marc Ellis (guitar), Bill Yergin (percussion), Joe Groff, Larry Milton( electric piano + guitar), Dave Troup ((bass) and Charlie Osborne (organ). Called at the beginning "Continental Divide" it was formed, let's say, for self-amusement and as summer entertainment. Instead they got spotted and signed by Audio Fidelity Records for their Mr.G label, changed the name to "Rainbow Press" and recorded debut album in the studio of Radio City Music Hall. The record company definitely was after another "great thing", trying desperately to cash in on the new music trend.
Basically this is highly infectious melodic rock, influenced to a certain extend by sunshine popsike /surf, with an inclination towards mild and mellow psychedelia - pleasant melodies, a bit melancholic, nice vocal harmonies.
Marc Ellis: Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Vocals Joe Groff: Lead Vocals, Percussion (Tambourine, Maracas, Recorder & Oboe) Larry Milton: Electric Piano, 12 String Guitar, Vocals Charlie Osborne: Organ, Vocals Dave Troup: Electric Bass, Vocals Billy Yergin: Percussion, Drums
