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 18,000 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.

STILL IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAP
................................................................................................
This 1976 platinum platter remains one of the great rock albums of all-time, featuring the raunchy opening blast of Back in the Saddle ; the funky Last Child; Combination, Rats in the Cellar and more.
Rocks captures Aerosmith at a crazily driven peak of creativity; anyone who heard it and continued to dismiss them as mere Stones clones was just being willful. This is blues rock cranked up to '70s stadium level, the sound of the Trans Am, or maybe the Porsche's several of these guys (surprisingly) remember driving.
The psychic battering they would succumb to on the next year's Draw the Line LP is foreshadowed in Joe Perry's "Combination," but he and Steven Tyler also celebrate the rock-star mythos on "Lick and a Promise." The party-fueled tension, the tension-fueled party... Most likely you won't find a more solid track by track high energy LP of the sort around - anywhere, any year.
the 'fan-man' injects further thoughts, but just the same:
"This is Aerosmith's magnum opus heavy. Where "Toys" was an upbeat and pop-sensible hard rock album, Rocks was a dive into the heavy Pre-Metal realm with Rompy Boogies, Gritty Rockers, Sludgy Grinders, Heavy Hitters and even a infectious glam ballad. This was America's Greatest Hard Rock band at both a pinnacle and the verge of collapse. Combination is the the most underrated Aerosmith song. It is so rich with musical textures and tempo changes it leaves you thinking...is this a progressive band? ...or did they just take a bunch of ideas and put slap them together and wire it together with incredible guitar and bass riffs fronted by a howling singer with a perfect style."
