WRITING ON ONE SIDE OF LABEL
There's very very little written or known about these guys, but with a name like Sintrifical Fours and a song title like "Flashin' Thunderbolts of Jupiter", you just KNOW this is either gonna be an acid freakout the likes of which you've never heard before, or a goofy old-time Vaudeville pastiche that blows chunks. Plus it's on the Mr. G label, which has given us so MANY charming one-off trippy obscurities from New York state, they're kinda like the Mainstream of singles. As it turns out, "Flashin' Thunderbolts" is neither the brown acid meltdown we'd love nor the "Winchester Cathedral" tribute we feared. It's actually a pretty cool and crude bit of garage sunshine pop about a girl with no hair (or so I think). It's got some groovy Byrds jangle guitar, some titanic tympani accents, and lots of New York City studio apartment teen college dorm charm, so yeah, I dug it. And it's darn near impossible to find these days too. The flip, "Queen Of My Heart," was so bad I didn't even bother taping it, so "Thunderbolts" might've been a lucky accident.
HEAR IT!
UPDATE: SORRY, I NO LONGER SHIP TO ITALY DUE TO A CORRUPT POSTAL SYSTEM (THERE, NOT HERE).

First class shipping is $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping. Delivery confirmation included in the shipping costs.

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.
