Up for bids: a RARE ORIGINAL ISSUE *MONO* copy of the classic "HERE ARE..." LP by legendary garage-punk pioneers, the Pacific Northwest's own SONICS!

On ETIQUETTE RECORDS, ET-LP-024, RED label. Runoff area reads (triangle)7950 024A, and (triangle)7950X 024B on flip side.

Classic after classic on this one: THE WITCH (its first recorded appearance, if I remember right), DO YOU LOVE ME, DIRTY ROBBER, HAVE LOVE WILL TRAVEL, PSYCHO, STRYCHNINE ... oh, so many more!

Overall, vinyl what I would call "rough," with moderate to heavy wear. Plays through pretty well (skips in a couple places on one of my turntables, but only in one place when played on a different turntable), with some serious background hiss. Some might call that an asset on this record; I'll let beauty rest in the ear of the beholder on that one. Sleeve is in surprisingly good shape considering the record inside it: split down most of spine, but shows very little wear otherwise and front & rear images are EXCELLENT. Let's call this a "starter copy" for the dedicated fan who can't pay full value for a nice one right away, or a cover upgrade for some lucky collector who needs one.

(Honestly, the record DOES play, and in certain lighting it doesn't look half bad. It is FAR from perfect, though, and I WANT to sound harsh when talking about it, so anyone bidding won't have any illusions about what they're getting into.  Better that most people are scared off by a description of a cruddy scratched-up record than one person buys it, then gets bent out of shape because it's rough, know what i mean?)
