T.2. – T.2. Lion Productions/Acme Gramophone ACLN 1011. FACTORY SEALED CD. Originally recorded in late 1970 and first issued on Acme in the UK in the late 90s, long out of print. This edition issued in 2008, includes 8-page informative/photo insert booklet. MEMBERS:  Peter Dunton, Keith Cross, and Bernard Jinks. TRACKS:  Highway, Careful Sam, Timothy Monday, CD, The Minstrel, Fantasy, and T2. DESCRIPTION:  Even though fame and fortune never came to pass for T2, their Decca album It’ll All Work Out In Boomland has become an all-time classic amongst collectors of progressive and psychedelic music, and even in the techno and dj scenes. Apart from a 1970 Sound of the 70’s BBC radio session, (included on the Acme/Lion reissue of It’ll All Work Out In Boomland), fans assumed that Boomland was both the beginning and the end of the group’s recorded legacy. But Acme Records unearthed an eponymous second album of material, recorded in 1970 with the original line-up as demo tracks for a planned second album. This was first released way back in the late 1990’s, and is now available again thanks to the new Acme/Lion version. This second T2 album, had it been released in 1970, could have put the band on the same level of fame with the likes of Deep Purple, Free, and King Crimson (bands with whom T2 shared a stage). It’s hard-driving opener Highway, ablaze with wailing guitars, gives way to moody introspection, culminating with the LSD induced finale T2. Its music is dreamy without being sleepy; heavy without danger of suffocation. Those of you who were lucky enough to snap up a copy of the limited Acme Deluxe pressings of this album many years ago now can testify to the importance of these recordings. For those of you who missed out the first time around—or who have only recently discovered the greatness of the mighty T2—all that can be said is, enjoy the power and glory of the second T2 album! For additional information/history on the band see my listing for It'll All Work Out In Boomland.  

Save On Shipping:

International customers can save on shipping by having their CD items shipped with out jewel cases (digipaks, mini-jackets, and certain multi disc jewel case sets must be shipped whole); this excludes Canada and Mexico (your rates are cheaper already). A minimum purchase of 2 CDs is required. Fees for shipping without jewel cases:  2 CDs = $6.50; for each additional disc add $1.00. CD discs are placed in CD envelopes and include all inserts which are placed inside of a plastic sleeve; all items are then placed inside of a corrugated box (the same size that I ship 7” records in, as I have had problems with bubble insulated envelopes; this box holds approximately 10 x 7” records so I am able to put packing material completely around the CD items inside the box). Shipping is via first class mail international. Please e-mail me with your request before making payment and I will send you an Ebay invoice with the correct shipping amount.

*ALL CUSTOMERS*  

HANDLING TIME:  

Packages are usually shipped in less than 72 hours. NOTE:  This is not the same thing as delivery time, which begins once a package is turned over to the post office; averaging 3-7 business days for US delivery and 5 days to 3 weeks for international delivery (Italy seems to take even longer often times). International delivery is largely determined on how long it takes your local customs to process its mail. I will confirm receipt of payment and shipping date via my personal e-mail, adjust your filters accordingly. If you do not hear from me within the first three days after your payment, most likely my attempts to e-mail you have failed. Please keep me posted on your payment plans or any special requirements/needs of your purchase. 

RETURN POLICY:

Please e-mail me with specific details and I will get back to you with your options. I ask that if there is a problem with the item that you contact me as soon as possible after receiving it. Any item that must be returned is done so at the buyer’s expense. Any refund, exchange, or substitution/credit will be at the buyers choice, but not made until the original item is received back by me; in the condition as stated in the item description.  

NON-ARRIVAL OF PACKAGES: 

US Customers:  Please wait at least two weeks from my confirmed shipping date before contacting me about the non-arrival of your package. Packages are not shipped with confirmation; this service is optional and available upon request at your expense, e-mail me before making payment so I can invoice you accordingly. It has been several years since I’ve had a package not make its US destination, so risk is minimal.

INTERNATIONAL Customers:  Please wait at least 3 weeks from my confirmed shipping date before contacting me about the non-arrival of your package. If security is your concern please have your package registered (see above for fee). I do my best to quickly post packages, but once the package is in the hands of the world’s postal systems it is beyond my control. With first class mail international my only option for investigating the loss of your package is to verify that it left this country to its destination country. Most all delayed/lost packages have disappeared/been delayed after they have reached their destination country. NOTE:  Based on recent buyer feedback, International packages have been moving much slower these days; it is not unusual for a package to take over three weeks for delivery, though normally packages should arrive in 7 to 15 business days.  

MULTI-ITEM PURCHASERS:

Multi-bid winners/purchasers:  If you combine various formats such as LPs, 7" singles, and CDs, please wait for my eBay invoice for the shipping total before making payment. For example, US customers purchasing an LP with a 7” single and/or CD, as LPs ship via media mail, your package will ship as media mail. All international purchases are shipped via first class mail international so discounting will be determined by weight. Shipping discounts apply only to multi-item purchases that are paid for in one single payment and shipped in a single package.
