Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

MINTY CLEAN VINYL and HARD TO FIND -- Original 1966 first pressing of the RARE "ROBBS" album ...these cats were regularly featured on "Where The Action Is" & "Happening '68" ...a popular garage band with a strong sound...
Includes scarce original Mercury Records printed inner sleeve
Originally formed in Wisconsin, the Robbs landed a spot as Dick Clark's house band for "Where the Action Is" and a contract with Mercury. Their singles added up to this 1967 album, supplemented by a pair of non-single tracks, and touched #200 on the Billboard LP chart for but a single week. This release then disappeared (except, perhaps, the teens who had the pleasure to dance to The Robbs at Midwest shows).
Though the band created a few superb songs, including the sunshine-harmony of "Violets of Dawn," the polished garage poprock of "Bittersweet," and a Byrds-styled rock arrangement of the chilling folk "Jolly Miller," their seven originals are perhaps even better. The rolling drums of "Cynthia Loves" bring to mind a melody and sunshine harmonies that are perfect for aq groovy California beach party scene. "Rapid Transit" borrows the vocal stutter from The Five Americans' "Westurn Union" to fine effect, and a Revolver-era backwards guitar permeates "Next Time You See Me." Whether or not The Robbs created these innovations, they played them out for all they were worth.
It's truly unfortunate that the Mercury label was never able to translate the band's regional success into a national breakthrough. Doubly surprising given their exposure on "Where the Action Is" and in teen magazines. This is an all-too-short audio diary of a band who deserved greater exposure in their time.
