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 +21,000 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.

  1. The 1972 ORIGINAL PRESS
  2. STILL IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAP
  3. Improbable find, astounding MINT everywhere
  4. ...............................................
  5. Underground Fire
  6. Seldom EVER seen, the North Carolina LP was probably less than a 500 pressing ...one report advised only 50 copies made, either way suggests reason why the mega-rarity never surfaces, though found 15 stated to have and joyful original owners. 
  7. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Though only three years later from fellow Carolina band, " Cykle " (of top 5  fuzz-garage psych legends)

    [isdntekvideo] Underground Fire held not only similar fiery biting-vocal and group delivery " Cykle " sound, with similar dominating fuzz-tone twin guitars all over the place ...well enough for collectors to pull the trigger!

  9. As soon as you drop the needle on this gem you're immediately sent back to the golden hard-rock era with “Loving Man”. That guitar tone is so cool, the bass is driving force behind the song and the straight-forward drum beat all meld greatly together. The guitar solo (from one of two guitarists) is spectacular as it jolts such a killer fuzz-tone sound. The vocals are CYKLE-like too with edgy forceful grit. “Love the One That Loves You” keeps the album's groove going, as throughout. There is a feel from the start, getting the head bobbing and those searing fuzzed-up guitar solos will suck most any listener right in.

  10. “I Love You”, gets into a darker tone with a really nice groove to it it including strong bass prominent through out. Then with “We Can Make It” you get twin fuzz-solos including drums solo.The fuzzed out guitars are totally highlighted.
  11. Maybe the albums best track is “Evil Woman” with a Black Sabbath feel and more straight-ahead rock with darker tone on the lyrics and great bass work which seems to be, along with ripping fuzz injections, a key to this album. As well “You’ll Like It” if you enjoy extreme fuzz guitar effects, hold on to your hat for this one too, a very cool original track. Yet another stand-out is the album closer “Cardack”, with sizzling guitar work injecting nasty fuzz tone and tearing it up on the drum kit along with outstanding bass groove. A really cool way to close out the ultra-rare Underground Fire album.
  12. Good luck ever better, or at all any ORIGINAL pressing reflecting solid fun exciting 1970 twin fuzz guitar garage rock,
