only 98% posi feedback. going by inventory its a storage unit filpper.

claims its a brand new cart w/shibata stylus but i highly doubt that they even have a clue but i am basing that strictly by inventory.

and i they state: "Double boxed with UPS shipping with cover off. "

i dunno how they come up with that. i want the platter and counterweight off. i want the tonearm taped down and i want the cover on and taped down to protect the tonearm.

i could probably chat up the seller and get them to do it my way. maybe i'm making excuses to talk myself out of it right now.

they are in wi. so it isnt a long ways to get shipped. shipping cost is reasonable. it has a mute switch:rockon:

see that? im giving a good argument for buying it too.

i dunno. :dunno:

Thats a good looking TT , it would suck to have it get beat up in shipping , problem with alot of these ebay folks is they don't really understand what can go wrong with certain equipment in shipping and what needs to be protected.

Too many wrap it in bubble plastic and call it good , if it were me I would contact the seller and make sure your on the same page about what safe shipping of a TT involves , it's really in his best interest any way , and even if you get damage covered it's still a huge let down to receive damaged equipment.

Gotta say I've been vary fortunate on ebay with shipping results , other than a poorly packed PAIR of Advents , some people are just bone heads.
 
Goblin, "Perché Si Uccidono" (1976)

41259.jpg


"Hey, it doesn't say Goblin on the jacket!" Nope, apparently the band thought the movie they wrote and played this for was "controversial" for being about drugs. So they released this under the name "Il reale impero Britannica".

One wonders how a band that scored a lot of Dario Argento movie thought this of all things was reason to use a cover name, but hey. To each their own.

The music is fairly light, rather than the theatrical high weirdness of Profondo Rosso or Suspiria that came out the years before and after this. It has the funky "bow-wacka-wow-chacka" jazz guitar that signified spy action movies through the '60s and '70s.

These days instead, at least for me, the sound tends to call forth images of loads of naked skin, perms and moustaches. But as a window into thrillers of days gone by, this record is still well worth a listen.
