Please read the shipping section below before bidding.

This group was the launching pad for Steve Winwood.  He left the group to move on to multiple other projects in 1968.  However, the group carried on and recorded several more outstanding psych rock and blues rock albums.  What makes this album quite special is its rarity.  According to discogs:  this is a “US only release on the Date label, quickly withdrawn, as it was the final Date release. The equivalent UK issue, Letters From Edith (scheduled for 1969, allocated cat# CBS 63 842), was also withdrawn, with only a few sleeveless UK CBS discs appearing on the secondhand market.”  The second characteristic that makes this album special is that it is incredible blues rock!  I love this album!  The title track is a brilliant blues instrumental that will blow you away.  The album was released on Date in 1970, number TES 4021.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a few light paper scuffs that do not significantly impact play.  It plays with just very light sporadic background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The album cover shows ring wear and light corner and edge wear.  All seams are sharp, tight, and intact.  The top left corner has been snipped.  The cover grades VG.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

As of January 26, 2020, all international shipping rates have gone up 25%.  Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $19.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $24 and each subsequent is just an additional $10. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
