PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

CLEAN 1968 ORIG!
SECOND ALEX CHILTON LP!
THE BOX TOPS
Cry Like A Baby
\ USA - BELL RECORDS - 6017
TOP COPY
STILL In ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER
Original 1968 first pressing of the second LP by the BOX TOPS who were at the peak of their success...
With 16-year-old Alex Chilton growling out lines like "Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane" and crooning trippy electric pop gems like "Neon Rainbow," Memphis' Box Tops -- heirs to the blue-eyed soul of the Rascals -- could do it both ways. Under the watchful eye of legendary producers Dan Penn and Chips Moman, the Box Tops blistered the charts with seven Top 40 hits, sprinkled throughout four wonderful albums -- all laced with enough Memphis soul and gentle psychedelia to cement the band's stature as rock & roll legends.
From beginning to end, Cry Like A Baby, is a top shelf 60's pop album. Alex Chilton had a world weary voice as a teenager and it lends a lot of integrity to songs such as "Cry Like A Baby", "Deep In Kentucky", and "Good Morning Dear". The songs are definitely American and you can hear some of the midwestern St.Louis/Memphis sound coming through, but just under that is a hint of the British Invasion sound that was popular at the time. On more than once occasion you can hear the Beatles influence in the heart of the instrumentation.
Included is the album mix (different mix from the 45 version) of "Cry Like A Baby" with a wonderful sitar and bass guitar sound. Elsewhere the band create some real gutsy sounds on "Deep in Kentucky", "Fields of Clover","727" (which lyrically harkens back to "The Letter"), and "Lost". The more tender side of Alex is displayed on "The Trouble With Sam", "I'm the One For You" and "Good Morning Dear". "Weeping Annalea" may be considered a miss, but the rest of the album is very good.
