Description
It's over 2 years now since renowned music collector/empassioned historian George Crotty passed away - many of you will know of him - he was a gem of a person, and aside from the obvious sadness involved in all that, he was known for having one of the best collections of 60's Garage, Beat, Punk & Psychedelic 7"s, EPs and LPs (especially of Australian artists) - gathered together meticulously and carefully for longer than the 36 year period I'd known him.
Along with his intense passion for The Easybeats, George has a 'thing' for The Beatles - in fact, as a 19 year-old in his native Serbia, while fronting a garage band by the name of The Q in 1965/early 1966, he was known as Nesa Bitls (pronounced Nesher Beatles), and the pix of him looking like one of The Beatles 1965 era are awesome - he looked SO damn cool. But all that aside, and as sad as it has been, it's again time to continue to divide up and sell that collection - anyway this very item is one of
GEORGE CROTTY'S PERSONAL 60's BEAT/GARAGE LP COLLECTION
...it wasn't the biggest or the most comprehensive, but it was certainly up with those that are...I'll endeavour to get a fair few items up on here over the next few weeks.
Some of you who knew him or knew of him, may well be proud to own something from his collection, I imagine. You can guarantee he loved this - he was very particular with what he kept.
