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.

\ EUROPE - AK - 235
BEAUTIFUL, PRISTINE & STILL FACTORY SEALED ...
LONG GONE and now hard to find (especially still sealed) ... TRIPLE THICK EXACT 2nd-press (one of the early releases on the famed label) of a great, legendary, heavy-weight FUZZ~PSYCH~HARDROCK MONSTER Lp recorded in 1969 as >>JOSEFUS<< and their lethal >>DEAD MAN<< album ...(first pressings sell easily for up to $1000 and over...)
The "DEAD MAN" Lp by Josefus remains one of the most sought hard garage fuzz jammers of the sixties...
Having played together in the Houston, Texas-based United Gas, in the wake of the band's collapse, singer Pete Bailey and guitarist Dave Mitchell decided to continue their musical collaboration. Adding drummer Doug Tull and bassist Ray Turner the the line up, the band initially attracted the attention of producer Jim Musil. Musil trucked the band to Arizona where he financed a series of demos under the name Come. Unable to interest a major label in the results (Frank Zappa's Straight label was reportedly briefly interested), the tapes were shelved; the band returning to Houston.
As Josefus, the quartet began playing Houston's local club scene. Unable to attract the attention of a label, the decided to record and release an album on their own Hookah label (the label symbol was a Turkish water pipe). Reportedly recorded in a single eight hour period, with a second day to mix, 1970's self-produced "Dead Man" proved surprisingly accomplished. With the exception of a manic cover of The Stones "Gimmie Shelter", the collection featured all original, group-penned material. Propelled by Bailey's outrageous manic vocals and Mitchell's raw fuzzed-up guitar, the set found the quartet blasting their way through a mix of bluesy ("I Need a Woman") and hard rock ("Crazy Man"). Highlights included their wild cover of The Stones' "Gimmie Shelter" and the 17 minute psychedelic meltdown title track ("Dead Man"). Pete Bailey's high tortured vocals owed much to the Robert Plant school, and the songs are built around crunching riffs. Highlights include the forever greatness of "CRAZY MAN" "Proposition" "Situation" ...though, the album on the whole has no weak tracks and is considered a monster of the genre ...as a result it is widely sought after by collectors...
