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.

JAPAN - SP 20 - 5052
MINT CLEAN !
SUPER-SOUND ages-old Japanese pressing, dates exactly to 35 years ago and virtually not around at all. The "super-sound" pressing is on par with audiophile quality and actually surpasses the UK Regal Zonophone release in high-end audio performance ...
Contains the all-important scarce original "obi-strip" around cover.
Including the original lyrics insert....
Steve Peregrine Took plays wailing bongos, djembe (which he just calls an ‘African drum’), a toy xylophone known as the Pixiphone, and wears a full-length cape on the cover.
Marc Bolan wrote all the songs. That should pretty much paint a clear picture of what this album is all about.
For instance ~ “Salamanda Palaganda” is a great example of the odd falsetto vocal harmonic style Bolan would employ in his T. Rex and even later solo material (in this case delivered by Took). “Our Wonderful Brownskin Man” gets a mention simply for the notable title. And “O Harley (The Saltimbaques)” is one of the highlights, as Bolan hits the rhythmic groove ...he and Took get going, and with Took slapping the bongo skins and chanting the “O Harley” refrain to Bolan’s own wordless chanting. And the closing “Scenes of Dynasty” gets a mention as well, a song that seems to have been fully realized by Bolan. Took’s percussion consists of wood blocks or something similar and an occasional harmonic grunt. Bolan is (as always) difficult to follow as he sings another of his strange world-view poems, the occasional reference to “peace” and “justice” and something about skinning a jaguar, so it is authentic Bolan. The song opens and closes with a sense of conscious planning, and everything in the middle fits together...It's refreshing to hear Mark Bolan before his songwriting has been honed to exactly what it was with his later T. Rex project. Songs like Conesuela hint in the riff similar to Bang a Gong of the music that is yet to come. There's a lot of meritable material on here, Debora, Wind ka-ka Quartets, The Friend, Salamanda Palaganda, Eastern Spell, and Scenes of Dynasty. Bolan's lyrics are mostly incomprehensible as he sings in a slurring and shaking voice, often coming to a chorus of la de da's as the incessant tapping of various hand percussion instruments drone over like a hummingbird beating out a signal. The whole thing is charming...
