-Artist /Group: D. Witherspoon and The Future

-Mini Bio: California artist D. Witherspoon and The Future released just one single titled Cry And See b/w Handful Of Love.

-Frantic Records label owners Arvey Andrews and George Martin were the go-to people for many hopeful California artists from white-eyed soul to garage-rock during the mid-1960's. 

-Every 45 on Frantic Records is highly sought after by collectors of ultra rare garage-rock and blue-eyed soul 45's.

-Side one: Cry And See

-Cry And See written by D. Witherspoon is a hot, mid-tempo garage-rock/psych killer with amazing vocals from D. Witherspoon who sometimes sings slightly off-key which only adds to the authenticity of this incredibly rare garage/psych single. He is accompanied by The Future who provide perfect backing for his vocals with fuzz and strummed guitars, hot Hammond organ, percolating bass, drums and together they have created a primitive, smokin' garage-rocker!  

-Side two: Handful Of Love

-Also written by D. Witherspoon is a teen love ballad with strings, strummed guitar, light bass, drums and backing vocalists and was intended as the A-side.

-Both sides produced by label owners Arvey Andrews and George Martin.

-A very rare 45 which would have been pressed in the 250-500 copies range and is very hard to find today as an original first pressing, especially in nice VG+ condition for the more important Cry And See side!

Record grading:

(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!

(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.

(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.

(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.

(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.

(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularly rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwhelming.
