Comments :

Debut LP  from these garage rock legends from Detroit (they only release 2 masterpieces, both in 1966-67)

Led by eccentric frontman "Question Mark" (real name Rudy Martinez),  this was an all-Latino Michigan band whose members originated in Texas.       Absolutely killer, classic 60's garage-punk, with Stones-tinged vocals, awesome organ-driven riffs and wild fuzz guitar.      Garage rock doesn't get much better than this !

Excellent record…..Glossy surface, minimal hairline scratches, very light scuff marks, light to almost non-existant surface noises.

VG+:  

Well taken care of record …..may have a few minor marks or surface scuffs that will not affect play…..still considered in excellent shape.

VG:    

Record may have several light scratches, noticeable marks, and surface noise may be apparent. …It will still play through without skipping and is still enjoyable.

VG-:   

Looks rough, many scratches, some deep enough to be fell with a fingernail, surface noise are more noticeable and evident throughout most of the tracks. …An OK record, but not for everyone. (* will not normally be auctioned, unless desirable or rare item)

NM:    

Only very minor shelf wear….an overall excellent collectible cover (a cover that was very well stored)

VG++:

May have some minor front or back cover wear, minor seam and spine wear (well cared for, but does show minimal signs of use).

VG+:  

Noticeable, but minor blemishes…some corner, spine & seam wear…..light but noticeable ring wear (still considered in excellent shape).
