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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. 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. 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.

AUTHENTIC PRESSING FROM THE TEXAS INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS label
THE GOLDEN DAWN
POWERPLANT
USA - (aqua) International Artists - IALP #5
BEAUTIFUL MINT...STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER ...
RARE & SOUGHT authentic old thick cardboard cover vintage issue on the legendary International Artists label, released a few years later, this was the last official I.A. pressing = a collectible Texas acid injected fuzzrock crew who issued only this one outstanding psychedelic garage album on the International Artists label...With the pressing being so old, of course there is NO bar code ... the back bottom cover states: "printing & mfg. by Tanner 'N' Tanner Texas., Inc., 1422 W Poplar Street, San Antonio, Texas"
...a most excellent array of Texas psychedelic garage nuggets...
Released in 1968 "Power Plant" is filled to the brim with inspired psychedelic wanderings and enigmatic lyrics... from the 60s Texas garage psych scene.
Golden Dawn's `Power Plant' is one of the most hotly sought after albums within the world of rock collectors. Alongside the 13th Floor Elevators, Lost & Found, The Red Krayola & Bubble Puppy, Golden Dawn was one of Texas' major psychedelic exports. This album is full of swirling garage rock & blues inflected tunes that grab on and hold the listener's attention...People looking for any type of `Parable of Arable Land' style freak-out jams should look elsewhere however, as the songs on `Power Plant' are concise rock songs (more `Psychedelic Sounds' than `Easter Everywhere' for all you Elevator aficionados). And although every one of the tracks throughout BOTH sides shine...below, three of the ten highlights on this album include:
Track 3). Starvation: One of the most 13th Floor Elevator sounding songs on the album, with vocalist George Kinney sounding eerily akin to his friend Roky Erickson. This has some great piercing guitar work courtesy of the two Golden Dawn guitarists Jimmy Bird and Tom Ramsey.
Track 6). My Time: This a great rollicking tune, with a catchy chorus and more superb, rolling fuzz guitar picking all through the song culminating on a simple yet perfect eastern-tinged guitar solo.
Track 8). Every Day: This is a slow, spectral song that ends in very cool backwards fuzz guitar with the pulsing hi-hat in the background holding it all together till it drifts away into nothingness.
get your mind in gear...The Golden Dawn's 'POWER PLANT' ... will only continue to grow
