    *MINT* OLD 500 MADE LIMITED EDITION

         RARE SIXTIES GARAGE ROCK LEGEND!

          1966 BATTLE OF THE BANDS                 

                         USA - ONYX RECORDS - ES 80689 

Still in the original factory shrink wrapper and mint

Quite hard to find, only 500 repressed some 30 years ago, with thick cover and paste on slicks of the impossibly expensive $$$ and rare 1966 ONYX label garage monster "BATTLE OF THE BANDS

A Massachusetts 'happening' that took place on SEPT 11, 1966 at the FROST ARENA in MASSACHUSETTS with local GARAGE bands battling it out for the TOP spot... these bands maybe(?) made a 45 but none of them ever made any albums. 1966 BATTLE OF THE BANDS is the only to hear them ... On the same label (ONYX) as the legendary LAZY SMOKE....

    TOP MINT = STILL IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER

The garage bands from the Lowell, Massachusetts area all competed in this thrilling Battle of the Bands -- but -- the night of the battle, the recording of these bands did not go so well. So, engineer Pat Costa took all the bands into a studio the next day, recorded one song from each band in rapid succession, and pieced together a strong LP of the tracks that were performed at the great 'Battle' with clean sound quality and dubbed in applause.

In glorious MONO, fuzz-rockers take the stage: 

The Here They Are – Baby Let’s Wait

The Poets of Merit – No Where Man

The Apaches – Day By Day

The Hearts of Darkness – Better Man Than I

The Fugitives – Ain’t Going to Eat Out My Heart Anymore

(Side 2)

The Vibrants – Time Won’t Let Me

The Satisfactions – House of the Rising Sun

The Mods – 19th Nervous Breakdown

The Stolen Minutes – My Girl

CONDITION: The cover: Thick, stiff and solid, MINT in factory shrink wrapper... very hard to find pressing from some 30 years later...has 4 sharp corners, no bends, no split seams and no writing 

The vinyl: perfectly mint with no problems -- looks and plays beautiful.... 

keeper!
