Description
Recently a friend passed away - he was a gem of a person, and aside from the obvious sadness involved in all that, he was renowned 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. Some things he'd parted with over the past few years of little work and continuing overheads, and a small section was stolen by someone also well-known here (I suspect her karma will come) - but the bottom line is, he had amazingly good taste, and (like a previous recent collection I was selling here) the gems he had were mostly handpicked for excellence....[with some others gathered to complete (often very obscure) label collections].
Anyway, this is one of that huge collection...all of which will appear here over the next few months.

ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING? Yes, it is...on those beautifully busy black and silver stereo labels...with flipback cover...
CONDITION:
COVER: (VG++)...has small bit of 'white-out' on back cover (on white background only - no text affected)...
VINYL: (VG)...definitely has some marks ...BUT....they're not hugely serious and it plays real well!!...just a few light-ish crackles...
LABELS: (Side One: EX / Side Two: EX) ...
=========================================================================
What a friggin' awesome LP!...includes such garage-punk killers as "GYPSY WOMAN", "LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE", "I GOTTA MOVE", "OUT OF ORDER"...plus cool folk-rock gems like "AND SHE'S MINE" (packed with melody - so damn catchy) and "THE DANCER"...and equally brilliant Hollies/Mersey-style tracks like "LADY OF LEISURE", "ROUNDABOUT", "SHOP AROUND", "I'LL BE HOME", "97 CIGARETTES"...Even the rare ballad "IN MY SOLITUDE", "BLUE TOMORROW", holds it's own amongst all the above...
ALL BUT 4 OF THE 14 SONGS ARE ORIGINALS
=========================================================================
If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).
You can pay in US$'s or UK pounds or EURO's or Australian dollars.
