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!

1969 Original... DOUBLE LP

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This IS the very first pressing...an ex-girlfriend of the band had scrawled "big fuckin' deal" in the original cover artwork. Capitol Records had to hand scratch out the offensive word from each cover (see photo number 2, they've scratched "the word" out.) first print '69...

Original 1969 first pressing 2xLP vinyl of the very first album by The Sons Of Champlin, the San Francisco ballroom band who played along side all the psychedelic legends....
The first SONS OF CHAMPLIN is a double album set and sold well peaking at # 137. That sales performance was even more impressive given problems with the cover art. Much to Capitol's dismay, the band insisted on furnishing their own cover art. In this case it was a collage that various friends had put together. Embedded in the artwork an unhappy ex-girlfriend had scrawled "Big f*ckin' deal" that somehow escaped notice until after the album had been released. Capitol recalled copies of the album and had employees scratch the offending word out. The obscinity is a chore to find buried among the tweaker art, but look hard enough there it is, lightly scratched across by Capitol...
One of the last and more obscure bands to emerge from the late-'60s San Francisco psychedelic scene, the Sons of Champlin were relatively unusual among Bay Area bands for favoring heavily R&B-psych influenced material. Their more introspective songs can recall the more subdued efforts of Quicksilver Messenger Service and Moby Grape, and their longer compositions boasted unusually complex song structures and tempo shifts.
Revered by some collectors, the sound is gritty R&B-based material and the ambitious longer tracks filled with plenty of jamming. "Loosen Up Naturally" has two powerful elements going for it -- an unequaled vibe of "this music makes me feel good" - And the Bill Champlin lyrics are deeper, stronger, more understandable and more meaningful than most of the 60's San Francisco scene artists. He knew his heart and poured his feelings into his lyrics. His now famous voice is nothing short of spectacular.
When the double album first appeared, the local FM underground radio stations started playing the 14 minute plus "Freedom". The entire album turned out to be amazing and its a sound you won't find anywhere else. There's a life-affirming beauty in these songs that grow well by each spin of the record, a great power is in this first album and the pure spirit of the '60's hippies
