THE HELLIONS (Nicaragua Holiday LP-10.000, mono)

• Condition : This is from 1968 Nicaragua and is pretty beat up! Check the sound samples below, it plays well enough with moderate surface noise. I heard no skips on my setup (Ortofon SPU) but please note that I would grade the vinyl as something like "Trashed minus zero". Typical condition for a 1960s rock LP from that part of the globe. Cover is OK, moderately worn, some writing on back, the slicks are a bit wrinkled probably from not being glued down completely, some chipping at right edge, and top and bottom seams are taped with what appears to be yellow electrical tape (see scans).
• Description : Wow...killer beat / garage / psych from Nicaragua in 1968. I've provided a bunch of samples so you can evaluate the audio quality and the overall craziness of this band. A bunch of rock covers in English ("Light My Fire" and "Soul Kitchen" by the Doors, "Complicated" by The Rolling Stones and, rather wonderfully, "Mrs. Robinson" and "A Most Peculiar Man" by Simon & Garfunkel), some tunes that are either originals or Spanish pop songs I don't know, a Spanish version of "I Love You" (Zombies tune that was a hit by People), start price reflects the worn state of the item but as far as I know this is an unknown LP. Somebody in Nicaragua has posted some needle drops from this on YouTube, otherwise I found no information at all. Listen to the samples and decide for yourself:

• Buyer pays $7 for priority / delivery conf. shipment OR $3.50 for media mail / delivery conf. shipment in USA; foreign billed at approximate cost (see rates below). Combine multiple wins to save on shipping. PA residents must add 6% sales tax. NOTE: shipping to Mexico is the same cost as to Canada, and shipping to South America is the same cost as to Europe, generally. Ebay's lsting format does not let me break out South America separately from Mexico and Canada for shipping costs so it appears as though I don't ship there, but I do. I ship WORLDWIDE.
• GUARANTEE: Condition of this item is guraranteed to be as stated in the above description. Grading is strict and visual. All used LP's are cleaned on a Loricraft machine before grading. Sorry, I do not guarantee "musical content". If you are going to bid high on an unfamiliar album, consider first checking out the sounds online or via a reissue, etc in order to avoid potential disappointments. You cannot return a record simply because you don't like the music.
• Records are shipped in a cardboard record mailer with sufficient padding, and the disc is removed from the jacket to prevent seamsplits.
• I do not end auctions early. No offense, but if you ask, you will not receive a reply, sorry.
• Please do not ask me to email you with a list of every song on an LP. If you are looking for a specific song, inquire with the name of the song, I'll check ASAP to see if it's on the LP and reply promptly, but I don't have time to type out the names of every track, sorry to say. Also, sorry but requests from underbidders along the lines of "I didn't win, could you A) dub the record to CD for me B) ask the high bidder to dub the record to CD for me or C) give me the winner's email so I can ask" are ignored due to legal and privacy concerns.
