Further Information/Comments I picked this 45 up about 25 years ago. Despite undertaking a lot of research, I can find out very little about this band, but I am pretty sure they were American as this track was released twice in the US in 1966, the first on Mike (probaly a local label) and then on Warner Brothers. Very few US garage bands from the mid 60s got UK releases of their 45s in the 60s. The Riddlers were one of the few who did, along with "We the People", "The Human Beinz" and "The Nightcrawlers" (all of which are very rare! Have a listen.............. their version of the "Batman theme" is a cross between freakbeat and surf, sort of Link Wray meets the Pretty Things & then a bit of The Sonics.

I am a collector who has been collecting records for nearly 30 years, and these records are either part of my collection that I no longer require, or have acquired over the years as part of a job lot I purchased. My main motivation for selling records is to finance the purchase of further records for my collection.
I have been buying and selling on Ebay since July 2000, and have a 100% positive feedback rate. I pride myself on giving accurate gradings and doing everything I can to ensure that every sale goes smoothly.
I believe that collectable records are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them, so all my auctions are started at a low price.
______________________________________________________________
My gradings are based on the system used by Record Collector magazine as described below
Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.??
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.??
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Postage and PackagingAll records are sent securely packaged in purpose made mailers with 2 cardboard stiffeners, clearly marked fragile.I always remove the record from the outer sleeve (to avoid seam split whilst in transit) and then insert the record and sleeve into a brand new polythene sleeve.
I only post items as per Ebay and Paypal terms & conditions, which require that items are sent by a method that is trackable. Due to this, please be advised that you check that the postages rates listed below are acceptable to you before bidding, but please be assured, P&P charges are only those incurred and represent no profit to me.
I do combined shipping ,so if you win more than one item it will work out a lot cheaper on the postage if I send them in the same mailer.
Please note: If the value of the item, or combined items, exceeds the standard compensation rate for "signed for items", there will be no extra charge to you, as I will cover the additional cost for the increased insurance.
