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.

***STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER
When White Noise’s debut album, An Electric Storm, landed on Island Records in 1969, it must have sounded like nothing else, resembliong as much a scientific experiment as any conventional musical document.
White Noise came into being when David Vorhaus, an American electronics student with a passion for experimental sound attended a lecture by Delia Derbyshire, a sound scientist at the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop. With the help of fellow Radiophonic Workshop composer Brian Hodgeson, Vorhaus and Derbyshire hunkered down at Kaleidophon Studios in England to pen this album that mixed poprock melodies with the experimental avant-garde. The result is a set of eerie, delightful songs that, for all their surface simplicity, shimmer with vestigial synthesiser swells, strange echoes, disembodied voices, and distant music-box trills.
Outside of a few equally adventurous ‘60s releases – the debut album from US psychedelic pioneers "The United States Of America," for instance – this is pretty much uncharted territory, particularly for a major label release. On '‘My Game Of Loving'’, a dozen multi-tracked voices built to a panting orgasm, while the closing '‘Black Mass An Electric Storm In Hell'’ ushers the record to a freeform close in a clatter of freeform drums, cavernous echo and chilling, animalistic screams. Perhaps unsurprisingly, An Electric Storm would struggle to find an audience on its release, and in the following years, great leaps in synthesiser technology somewhat diminished White Noise’s experimental achievements. One thing that would remain timeless, however, were the songs themselves. An Electric Storm would later become a key inspiration to later underground retro bands and electronics explorers who picked through these primitive, vestigial sound experiments, took careful notes, and eventually, set out to craft their own futuristic lullabies.
