TULSA OKLA 1968 FUZZ GARAGE 45 SKEPTICS ON SHO-BOAT 106 TURN IT ON/SHE'S A GAS

$

212

The rarest 45 by this highly-collectible, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1960s garage band (not counting, of course, their picture sleeves), "She's A Gas" b/w "Turn It On" on Sho-Boat Records #106,1968. Labels are shiny, no tears, stains or writing, light wear rings on both sides (see pics). Vinyl is VG+ -to- VG++ on both sides. I played both sides, and they play-through fine with minimal surface noise.

FAQ: Why did I previously remove this listing? Because I screwed-up and mistakenly sent it, during its listing period, to a buyer in Japan instead of the 45 he actually bought. Fortunately, I was dealing with an HONEST buyer who graciously returned it. THANK YOU, ARAI!!

PLEASE contact me if you want a type of domestic shipping other than “Media Mail.” If you win more than one item, please wait for me to send an invoice with a combined, domestic shipping rate. I do not, however, carry items over to future auctions for the purpose of combined shipping. I ship outside the U.S. only through “FEDEX Global Express Guaranteed,” which will include a global tracking number and a signature requirement from the buyer. Buyers outside the U.S. should wait for my invoice with both the Global Express Guaranteed shipping charges as well as the winning-bid price; I will not ship until both are paid. I reserve the right to refuse to ship to certain countries, like Greece, Italy, and Spain. I accept returns only if there was an error in the description of the item. I must be notified of the return within 14 days of Buyer’s receipt of the item, and it must be the same item I shipped and returned undamaged. PLEASE EMAIL ME PRIOR TO BIDDING WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THE ITEM OR SHIPPING.

I WILL BE OFFERING MORE OKLAHOMA GARAGE/ROCKABILLY/TEEN 45s OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

A STORY ON THE SKEPTICS IS AVAILABLE IN MY BOOK ON TULSA BANDS AND MUSICIANS, 1955-1975, WITH AN OKLAHOMA 45rpm DISCOGRAPHY, ALSO ON MY EBAY SITE,

 PLEASE NOTE MY VISUAL RECORD GRADING SCALE:

SS (Still Sealed): Unopened, still in original shrink-wrap in original condition unless noted differently.

Mint: I do not use this grade.

NM or M- (Near Mint or Mint Minus): Almost as produced except for superficial things like paper sleeve rubs or light handling. Label will have full gloss and color as produced.

VG++ (Very Good Plus-Plus): A well-cared-for record, but the vinyl will display a few noticeable imperfections such as a few light marks or scuffs that cannot be felt to the touch. Label will also have some color and/or gloss fading or light wear; any other distractions will be noted in the label description.

VG+ (Very Good Plus): Still a well-cared-for record, vinyl has a few more noticeable imperfections than VG++ that cannot be felt to the touch. May display some original gloss. Label can show some, but not large, areas of wear; any other distractions will be noted in the label description. NOTE: this is still a very acceptable grade for most collectors.

VG (Very Good): A used but still reasonable copy. Vinyl will have several moderate and/or one or two major flaws such as scratches that can be felt to the touch, but the record will play through with some ticks and possibly other surface noise, nothing that overwhelms the sound. Label gloss may be completely gone, color fading, moderate wear, any other distractions will be noted in the label description.

VG- (Very Good Minus): Vinyl will have some major imperfections along with visible groove wear but will still play through. Label will have heavy wear, no gloss, color faded, any other distractions will be noted in the label description.

FR/PR (Fair/Poor):  A record with major problem(s). I usually do not list records in these grades unless it is a very scarce/rare record that is highly sought-after. Such a record’s condition, along with its flaws, will be described in detail.
