THE CREATIONS/DANNY GOMES - CRASH/CHICKIE DARLIN [Top Hat 1003]
Label: Top Hat 1003 Titles: "Crash" & "Chickie Darlin" Release Year: 1964
A legend of a record in the world of surf rock by the Connecticut based Creations. "Crash" has become a classic standard surf instrumental. The flip side is "Chickie Darlin," a doo wop inspired vocal by Danny Gomes.
"Crash" is listed in John Blair's as an important song in the development of Surf Music. The song was also featured on the 1981 LP New Wave Surf Party and again in 2010 on the CD compilation The Birth Of Surf, Vol. 2.
The record has label wear on either side, but there is no writing and no stickers. The vinyl has heavy signs of play wear, but nothing that prevents the record from being played through. Background noise is heavier on the B side. You can listen to the actual record here:

*Please note - my turntable is a simple ION Profile LP simply for converting media. It is by no means a high end turntable and the sound quality will be MUCH better on a higher end turn table.
All records come with basic sleeves unless a factory or picture sleeve is indicated in the description. I do not use a grading system as I feel that everyone interprets it differently. For example, I see many records listed as being Near Mint, yet the label is torn or has writing on it. To me that is not near mint. I prefer to describe the record as best I can, post photos, and allow viewers to listen to the actual record as to determine for themselves how the record should be graded.
I ship using Media Mail at $3.50 and deliver the day of or after the payment is received. Please remember that shipping costs also include the cost of materials to ship the order. International shipping is available. The cost to ship this Internationally is $12.00. I will also combine shipping. I try to keep shipping costs as low as possible, however recent increases by USPS have affected what I charge to ship - and believe me, I am NOT happy about it.
I am happy to ship internationally, however I will not change the value of the record. There are many reasons for this. First, I enjoy selling records and do not want to jeopardize that. Second, I include a receipt with the order and if customs were to examine the package, they would see the difference. Third, if something were to happen to the item in shipping, I would refund the customers money, but then not be able to claim what was lost. Thanks you for understanding.
