POLYMERS CHILDREN "Josephine" b/w "Summer Rainbow"

Original 1970 45 on the US MUSICOR label

Vinyl:  Plays VG+ to VG++

 

The world is long overdue for a Polymers Children compilation!  Case in point - the two singles I have up for bid now.  Single #1 - this gem from 1970 pairing two great baroque pop nuggets together.  "Josephine" starts out like a lo-fi George Harrison tribute, then settles into a groovy crude Left Banke/Beau Brummels kinda baroque garage pop vibe with reedy drone organ.  Even better, flipside "Summer Rainbow" is a perfect slice of moody summer (slightly) downer garage pop with lotsa vocal harmonies and tidal wave drum rolls.  Listen up, former members of Polymers Children (and I KNOW you're out there, even if NO ONE seems to know WHO you were) - you've got a full album's worth of this crazy stuff in the vaults, I just KNOW it.  So stop holding out on us already, and get this s*** released fer reals!  Consider this single a sampler of things to come...

 

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.  Air mail shipping to Canada starts at $6 US, each additional record $2 shipping.  Air mail shipping everywhere else in the world starts at $8 US, with each additional record only $3 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.
