Description
Rotox’s frontman is Eero Raittinen, of Eero Ja Jussi & the Boys fame. He also sang on at least two of the Tasavallan Residentti LPs (see my other listings for albums by that group). Gumbyfinn wrote this review of the album, Etsikko: “Rotox's sole LP Etsikko (1976) is a theme [concept?] album about meritocracy, telling the viewpoints of various people who either keep trying but always fail, or lose once and give up trying. The lyrics range from depressed to angry to cynical, but the message stays clear: this competitive world we live in is too much to handle for those who basically just want to enjoy life and take everything easy. The music is top class, with complex and often long songs filled with instrumental jamming.” Released in Finland on Hi-Hat in 1976, this comes with an insert. The cover is in G-- and the record is in VG condition. (For info on my grading system, click on the “me” icon, which you can find by going to “Read feedback profile” above.)

Payment and Shipping Information
The U.S. Post Office has just raised the postage rates...again. In the U.S., postage would be about $4.77 for one LP sent by Media Mail. Package insured upon request. Winners outside of the U.S. will be notified of postal fees, but an approximate cost for one LP to many countries is $16.20 by airmail (but Canada and Mexico will be less than this for most single LP packages). If you bid on and win more than one item, you WILL save on postage! Note: I do not gouge on postage and packaging costs. Record will be carefully packaged in a strong, oversized LP mailer. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. E-mail: david.o@jjldj.com. International Customers: Please DO NOT use the Checkout (Pay Now) option, or you may end up paying more for postage than is necessary, as eBay tends to calculate shipping and handling on the high side. Instead, wait for me to contact you with an invoice and the correct total amount due. I will do my best to contact you within a day of the auction’s end. Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges (typically collected upon delivery or pickup) are the buyer’s responsibility and are not included in the item price or shipping charges. Please check with your country’s customs office prior to bidding/buying to determine what these additional costs will be.
