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.

"THE MIGHTY QUINN" - ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..

Original _ of the famous UK "beat" (& British Invasion) band gone Mod-psychedelic with several cool melodic grooves inspired 'popsike' flourishes that hold up well 50+ years later. One of their harder to find albums that isn't found all that much contains the cool nugget "The Mighty Quinn" ...
The U.S. record industry was renowned for doctoring U.K. albums and including commercial single material. The situation with The Mighty Quinn was a little more complicated than that, however — it is derived from Manfred Mann's U.K. album The Mighty Garvey, which did, in fact, contain the group's last big hit, the U.K. number one/US Top Ten "The Mighty Quinn." But that LP also had the veneer and appearance of a concept album and Mercury Records in America evidently figured that this was a little bit too much of a concept for American audiences (who weren't as attuned to the The whole album was deconstructed, and suddenly the hit "The Mighty Quinn" (a cover of a Dylan song that had not, as yet, appeared in a version by the composer) was the title of the piece and moved from last to first spot on the first side of the LP, followed by "Ha Ha Said the Clown," a catchy piece of pop-psychedelia with some interesting tempo shifts and aggressive use of a Mellotron, that had been on the U.K. version's second side. The rest is a lot more challenging and diverse: "Everyday Another Hair Turns Grey," with its Kinks-like choruses and beat (circa Village Green Preservation Society), and the ethereal pop-psychedelia of "It's So Easy Falling"; from there we jump to "Big Betty," cool Bo Diddley beat generated by seriously pounding bass and drums, and some sharp guitar flourishes, and then the psychedelic mood piece "Cubist Town," a sort of downbeat "Penny Lane"; Side Two opened with the slightly folkish "Country Dances," which manages to sound like the Strawbs and psychedelic-era Kinks at various moments, followed by the U.S. single "Semi-Detached Suburban Mr. James"; "The Vicar's Daughter" was a fascinating effort at pop-psychedelic songwriting that manages to be cautionary and wistful all at once, dealing with lost innocence from a male point of view; "Each and Every Day" was as fine a piece of pop R&B as the group had delivered since "Do Wah Diddy Diddy"; and "No Better No Worse" closed this version of the album on a pop psychedelic note with a catchy chorus. On a purely commercial level, the Mercury executives were probably right, while Americans at least purchased it in sufficient numbers. It is rare that U.S. versions of '60s album are preferable to their U.K. counterparts, as they usually contain fewer cuts and go against the artist's intentions with regard to track running order. However, The Mighty Quinn might be the exception, at least for casual listeners who don't know Manfred Mann as a psychedelic band — the hits in combination with the more intricate and eclectic material make a more varied and enjoyable listen for the ordinary record buyer.
