THE TOKENS WHEELS!
RCA DYNAGROOVE LSP-2886 STEREO | 1964

Difficult to find (in any grade) Stereo version of THE TOKENS 1964 Hot Rod Music "It's A Gas!" inspired LP WHEELS!

The 3rd full length recording from Brooklyn's own The Tokens, the band most famous for their 1961 hit The Lion Sleeps Tonight, and whose original line-up included Neil Sedaka. This particular LP is more difficult to come by in it's Stereo format, RCA Dynagroove LSP-2886. Great Hot Rod cover featuring four Hot Rods facing each other on the beach. Opening and closing many tracks are the sounds of cars zooming by, very cool in this stereo format. More than one Brian Wilson penned Beach Boys song is covered here by The Tokens. Surf's Up!

Produced by Hugo Peretti & Luigi Creatore. Arranged and conducted by Artie Butler.

Grading Guide as noted in The Standard Catalog of American Records -

NM (Near Mint) - Records are shiny with no visible defects or surface noise when played. Covers should have no ring wear, creases, folds or seam splits. Writing, stickers, or other markings are not allowed.

VG+ (Very Good Plus or EX Excellent) - Records may show slight signs of wear including light scuffs, very light scratches, or slight warps that do not affect the listening experience. There may be light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticable. Covers can have light creasing at corners, promotion or cut out mark (cut corner, small hole punch or cut in spine), as well as slight signs of ring wear. VG++ is at times used to indicate high end of this grade.

VG (Very Good) - Records can lack most of their original gloss. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, the record will have slight surface noise, even an occasional audible scratch, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and ending, but the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers have minor seam splits. Minor writing, tape or sticker allowable, with possible visible ring wear.

G (Good) - The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. It has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label can be worn with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. Cover will have significant seam splits, possibly taped closed, highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing.

An extra + or - might be included with there grades to indicate high or low ends of grade.
