Description
AMAZING 45 from the Texas band The Illusions. And it's in SUCH GOOD CONDITION. With the exception of some minor paper scuffing, this gem is unplayed.
See in pictures where vinyl has light paper scuffing but does not affect quality at all. Both sides play loud with very quiet surface noise. This comes from the personal collection of Jimmy Gilmer of the Fireballs. Please visit my other auctions as I will be listing quite a few Rockabilly/Garage/Norman Petty and Fireballs singles that are all in excellent condition. Thanks for looking!
Check out the history from wiki
The Kitchen Cinq originally evolved out of the Illusions in Amarillo, Texas.[1][2][3] Between 1961 and 1962, guitarist Mark Gordon Creamer of the Illusions invited Jim Parker to join the group who, at that time had two other members, including bassist Dale Gardner.[2] Parker was friends with Jimmie Gilmer, who with his band the Fireballs had a hit with "Sugar Shack".[2] The group's sound was heavily influenced by the British Invasion bands from England, particularly the Dave Clark Five.[1] The Illusions released a single on Dot Records that featured an A-side "Brenda (Don’t Put Me Down)" written by Jim Parker backed with "Secrets of Love" co-written by Parker and band Gardner.[2][4] It was recorded in Odessa, Texas at a studio owned by Tommy Allsup, who had played on the same bills as stars such as Buddy Holly & the Crickets and Ritchie Valens in the 1950s.[2] The Illusions' single became a regional hit.[2] According to Parker, "I was the elder statesman in the group – I was 19, 20-ish then ...and we played around town, and J.D. Souther’s group, the Senders, was in competition with us. We were buddies, but we got most of the great gigs because we had a full band and Mark played organ, harmonica and guitar, and we had five-part harmonies...."[2]
