From my own vast private collection gathered over last 45+ years ...these mostly from 1973 - 1978 I had my own Record Store here in Northern California in the 1970's and 80's -and bringing in wonderfully vibrant and amazing Progressive Rock Imports was a top specialty and priority - I was (still am) so nuts about this music that I had 3 different evolving weekly Radio Programs dedicated to it over 20 years - and loved nothing more than turning folks on to these bands and immersing myself and my audience in these exotic sounds. Now it is finally time for me to pass them on - my hardest LPs to part with, some 8 boxes of which I shall be listing throughout this Spring. Many of the leading progenitors of the 1st progressive era, but quite a few more obscure but no less amazing artists of the period. . *Sadly I am NOT FAST at listing and can only get around 50 up at a time, but they will keep on coming approximately every other week (as I pause between, to focus on top level packing and immediate shipping) so keep checking back.
This leads me to the subject of "collecting" purchases for combined shipping for further purchases, which some ask for. I am happy to save LPs that are purchased for up to 30 days IF YOU ASK Me to - but I MUST receive payment within 7 days of initial purchase. I honestly cannot afford to sell these and not get paid by big buyers for 30 days. I would be absolutely ruined - so payment must be received within 7 days of purchase. Your note on your PayPal payment to HOLD items for combined shipping later (no more than 30 days out) will guarantee their being saved aside for your further bidding. When you state that you are done, your invoice will be revised to reflect complete shipping discount at that time. If you DO NOT ASK me to hold, it will Ship within 24 hours. CHECK MY FEEDBACK, I am ALWAYS 100% RELIABLE on this. International bidders note that any package over 4 Lbs. (usually 5 to 6 LPs or more) MUST ship by PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL. US Post Office no longer ships above that weight at the lower, slower 1st Class International rate. . The vinyl here is in uniformly spectacular condition (Most being EX+ to NM) always extremely carefully handled. Some of the covers have minor issues - a small handful have significant issues, but the great majority are in VG+ to EX+ condition. Almost everything offered here is Original 1st Press - Full Details for each given in Description below.
SPECIAL NOTE: I had planned SOUND CLIPS to accompany many of these listings, but the online AUDIO FILE host/management site I use has now gone bust, NEVERTHELESS, I (not knowing) did indeed record a slew of sound clips. If you are curious on any of these, ask me  - and if I have made the short mp3 samples for it, I will try to get it to you.

Original 1980 issue LP

VINYL is EX+
High gloss Vinyl looks absolutely Like New , though there is some very low background noise at beginnings of sides that goes away very quickly to extremely clear, clean, bright and full NM throughout rest. Labels are immaculate both sides. . *as these LPs have been stored away for decades, some have this "faint background noise" - almost always only at beginning of sides - from the many years tightly pressed against the sleeves - occasional tiny paper specs may be impacted on grooves on some. A good cleaning will almost always remove this.
.
COVER is VG+
Very fragile thin matte embossed gold cover is clean with no soil but has some minor ring wear and shelf wear, plus a few edge creases and corner bumping - still very solid with only light wear to seams. No splits.

STRICT CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE VISUAL GRADING
NM / EX(VG++) / VG+ / VG

Outrageously Rare and insanely great Fuzz / Synth LP?.?

The distorted analog tones and dynamics these 2 brothers realize are nothing short of mind-bending on an LP that is not to be missed! I have never heard anything else that really compares. Sadly my SOUND CLIPS, while made, cannot be put on my listings. THIS is one of the LPs that you should absolutely try to get some way to hear - either by eMailing me for the clips or finding(?) someplace online that has put sound files up (Try the tracks: ASTROVILLE, SOLEIL d'EAU and OGIVES for starters). The LP is incredibly scarce and basically unknown to the majority of the Prog world but it is a true top-level gem.

"Another entry (and a highly unknown one at that) in the pantheon of dark acidic French electronic prog, the Lorentz brothers work compares favorably with the likes of Heldon, Lard Free, Spacecraft, Verto, Ilitch et.al. True, it's a mite more subdued then those lysergic brainburners, but that subdued aspect lends Espaces 2's bleary narcotized webs of synth and guitar filigree it's unique late-night gravity. A classic of sorts."
Don't let this one get away if you can get it!
