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 +22,000 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.
Thank you for your interest and support.

The album "GOLEM" by SAND remains a chore to find, valued within universal collector circles, surely only to rise in future due to scarcity ...
  1. FAR OFF THE BEATEN PATH ... 1974 Original small German printing is absolutely difficult to find, produced by x-ASH RA TEMPEL and famous "SPACE ROCK" soloist KLAUS SCHULZE, so one assumes "GOLEM" by SAND is gonna be interesting and it is... For the most part the varied ideas, though often accessible are challenging and apt to leap right over the later KRAUTROCK collectors heads. The segments such as the cool PINK FLOYD (especially Syd Barrett) original influences are worth owning the rarity, we certainly got into it to the point of personal collection worthiness.
  2. May get many's attention by the fact the underground prog/folk/psych album is produced by pioneering "KRAUTROCK" scene-ster KLAUS SCHULZE who had/has a storied career as both drummer and mainly keyboard extraordinaire with ASH RA TEMPEL and by far more notable soloist releasing lots of 'space journey' excursions and Klaus was one of the first right from the beginning circa 1970.
  3. An intriguing ambient kraut album.

    Golem is a very interesting and enigmatic album consisting of hypnotic via undulating synthesizer trance-zones broken up by slightly odd folk songs somewhat reminiscent of early PINK FLOYD and SYD BARRETT. 

  5. This album is really a get-into, or get out of affair, if you can derive enjoyment from the early Krautrock apex of highs "space" influences then you will definitely like the album, if you find the album lost in space then it probably wont be for you. We personally enjoy "GOLEM" as it contains freaky underground rock adventures meshed within explorative ideas enhanced with the layered "dummy head" affects created by German audio engineers never catching on due to not enough space rock cadets at the time - far different story now, pioneering KRAUTROCK albums are GOLD.

    Golem is great for relaxing out in the sun on a warm summer's day and contains some very soothing yet psychedelic music. Definitely not for everyone, there's no AM radio commercial potential. Overall recommended   to fans of 70's CLUSTER, KRAFTWERK, and early 70's SPACED "Krautrock" music.

    CONDITION:
  11. The cover: rated: rated: near "EX" (excellent) only very light handling visible after 50+ years, appears decidedly very collectible ... Both front & back having no delete marks, no split seams, no writing -- still all bright colors, handled well, 50 years after the small pressing was released in the German underground circles while rest of us never knew of existence until much much later...
  1. The vinyl: Rated: "EX" (excellent) and plays M- fantastic (!)  Delta Acoustic (via "dummy head" processing) the labels are clean despite one side having a small wear spot that wouldn't be an interest-breaker :))

A cool addition to anyone's music library!
