MARC V "I'm A Dog" b/w "And I'm Glad"
Original 1960's 45 on the US SOUND CITY label
Vinyl plays EXCELLENT
Last one I had (a LONG time ago) sold for $160 - this one's in better shape!
Either this is yet another rare obscurity that no one seems to know a thing about, or there is just a DEARTH of information online about such things. Or maybe both. Here's another mid to late 60's single that I can't find a shred of information about - it's from the Marc V and the songs are "I'm A Dog" and "And I'm Glad", on the Sound City label out of Ames, Iowa. I don't even think this is the same Sound City label that gave us the soul single by the Sharpets, because the label art here is much plainer. What I CAN tell you about this single is that it's certainly a lo-fi basement garage affair - "I'm A Dog" (not the Kid Rock song) is a KILLER thrashing garage punker with insistent reedy organ and a real slashing, punky attack. Think Iggy Pop fronting ? and the Mysterians, with the classic literary hook "I'm a DOG...oh YEAH!" Cheeky kids too, they slap on a few false endings just to keep you on your toes. The flipside is much more mellow, but just as good - a gentle garage punk ballad recorded in some Iowa basement, set to a jazzy little shuffle and decked out with some really crude keyboards that sound like whatever the 60's equivalent of a Casio would be. The lo-fi version of the Strawberry Alarm Clock. Needless to say, both sides are uncomped, and as far as I can tell, pretty much unknown too. But it's a KILLER, and any garage punk fan needs this one in their collection. Original pressing on the Sound City label, SS-10759-01.
HEAR IT!
UPDATE: SORRY, I NO LONGER SHIP TO ITALY DUE TO A CORRUPT POSTAL SYSTEM (THERE, NOT HERE).
(THE LESS EXCITING STUFF...)
First class shipping is $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping. Delivery confirmation included in the shipping costs. US International postal rates just shot up nearly double this past week, so please take note of the new rates. I don't make a profit on shipping costs - these are what the post office charges me. Air mail shipping to Canada starts at $10 US, each additional record $3 shipping. Air mail shipping everywhere else in the world starts at $13 US, with each additional record only $4 shipping.
I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it. Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves. But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING
Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package. I hate that too. So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s. And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums). I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job. But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…
I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return. All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction. Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong. You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed. If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
