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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

- The mighty LA DE DA'S were one of the mid 60's earliest if not best of rowdies styling themselves along the likes of the Pretty Things R&B raunchy years, then Missing Links, tougher EASY BEATS and the harder hitting garage-punk teen scene-sters among all the raves. Paused for some months then came storming back with a slight change merging garage & gritty soul rock with a swinging London blues swagger, not unlike but decidedly the better components of Britain's Spencer Davis Group who were tearing up the '66-67 charts.
- Their FIND US A WAY album contained some original compositions as well as stage favorites. Although they were apparently unhappy about not being not consulted over the final track selection or the cover art, it also sold very well. [Its] release in May 1967 coincided with The La De Das’ first exploratory trip to Australia. Although they had their sights set ultimately on the UK, the only logical way to get there was via Australia, so they flew to Sydney. The trip started fairly well . . . [including] a support slot on the historic homecoming shows at the Sydney Stadium by The Easybeats . . . . Unfortunately it was pretty much downhill from there on. . . . While they toiled away unhappily in Sydney, living in a squalid Kings Cross hotel and appearing at Dayman’s Op-Pop Disco, two Singles were culled from the Find Us A Way” album for release in NZ. Both did extremely well in spite of the band’s absence — the first, “All Purpose Low”/”My Girl”, was released in June and went to #3 on the NZ charts, followed in August by “Rosalie”/”Find Us A Way” which reached #5.
- Auckland’s finest R&B group dipped into their own strong collection of songs in May 1967 billing themselves live as “Soul Blues”, which nicely sums up the feel of their new record. While the band still found a frantic sweaty beat on ‘Find Us A Way’, ‘I Gotta Woman’, ‘Tell The Truth’, ‘Cool Jerk’ and ‘Gimme Some Lovin’, they left room for the sunny pop of ‘Sonny Boy’ and spacier keyboard-led originals ‘All Purpose Low’, ‘Thank You For The Flowers’, ‘Rosalie’ and ‘Beside Me Forever’.

- CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: "EX" (excellent) very slight age to ultra-cream color matte-finish cover , imagine would be near impossible to find better all these years. Overall impressive triple grainy thick single cover with the feel of a gatefold. The mono '67 packs a wallop in all ways. There are no delete marks, no split seams, and no bends, or writing ...
-
- The vinyl: Rated: near M- very minor light past use over 57 years and counting, top shape not to expect better. Has a visual thin scuff that does nothing maintaining the near M- audio and yep, it's a winner for the lucky right cat. Both thick black & silver Philips labels are clean representing New Zealand MONO 1966
