 -Artist / Group: Painted Ship

-Mini bio: First performed as The Wee Beasties when William "The Captain" Hay (vocals) hooked up with extraordinary guitarist Rob Rowden at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver B.C., Canada during the summer of 1965.

-With the addition of Rob Rowden's brother, Barry Rowden (drums) and Ken Wain (organ) the newly christened Painted Ship cut a couple of tracks in 1966 and in late 1966 the band approached the Vancouver branch of Canada's London Records with Bill Hay wanting Frustration as the A side which was shot down by not only the executives at London Records but also by the other band members who thought Frustration too "Weird".  As a result, in Canada the A side would be the amazing rip-your-ears-off garage, kick-butt punk rocker, Little White Lies which reached # 7 on Vancouver Radio station CFUN in 1967.

-But the b-side is the epitome of where really good garage music was heading in about ten years time....when disco was king and young musicians flayed out against corporate music and punk was created in garages, basements by musicians who wanted rock & roll to roar again....and Vancouver was there with DOA, Rude Norton, The Young Canadians and Victoria had No Means No, Gentlemen of Horror, and Infamous Scientists to name but a few...and the first of its genre, the amazing  garage punk rocker Frustration by the Painted Ship, a heart stoppin' killer track that has no equal with Bill Hays eerie, breathy vocals, hi-hat, strummed guitar and organ with a sizzlin' organ/guitar solo which all combined together to create this psychedelic nugget which is considered to be one of the finest 1960's punk/garage records ever put ot wax!

-Titles: Frustration / Little White Lies

-Both sides were written by band members Bill Hay and Rob Rowden.

-Either side could have been a big national hit, but for reasons unexplicable never did, although Little White Lies did manage to chart at # 7 on Vancouver radio station CFUN in 1967.

-History of this 45 rpm single: We have several thousand singles from the 1950's, 60's 70's, 80's and 90's for which we know the source (record store) and the exact date of purchase. This copy of is one of them: Frustration was purchased as NOS (New, old store stock) from Kent's Record Shop on Fort Street in Victoria, B.C. Canada on June 16, 1967 . All of the records from Kent's Record Shop were brand new and since date of purchase have had very little play, were always housed in a sleeve in a non-smoking environment, and played on a good quality turntable. Collectors' will not be disappointed in this extraordinary group of 45's as we begin to list them over the months to come.

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 particularily 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 overwheming.
