Welcome,

Up for auction is very scarce and sought after Psychedelic LP by Canadian Psych legends the Ugly Ducklings, titled "Somewhere Outside".

The Ugly Ducklings were probably the best known Canadian garage rock group of the mid-'60s. Formed in famed Toronto’s Yorkville area in 1965, the band flourished in the many coffee houses around the Yorkville district as a Rolling Stones cover band before becoming the Ugly Ducklings and attracting the attention of the local Yorkville Records label. The band recorded a single, Nothin’, that became a Canadian hit and opened for the Rolling Stones in 1966 when the band played Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens. The band was quickly becoming local heroes and in 1967 the album, Somewhere Outside was released on the small independent Yorkville label. The album contained nine original compositions as well as two cover songs. The band drew heavily from the Rolling Stones, the Kinks and the Pretty Things style with a raunchy R&B/rock sound. The album sold well in the Toronto area but due to lack of national distribution the band failed to break out across the rest of the country. .

Play Grade:

Record plays straight through, rich warm sound leaps off the grooves of this deep groove pressing. Some audible "fuzz" through out, nothing major, very enjoyable listening experience.

Visual Grade:

Vinyl has lots of light scratches, nothing deep. Labels are nice, but have a little picture done by by original owner in pen. Cover is intact ans soild, showing some light corner wear, and a little wear on back cover. Overall record grades in Very Good condition.
