Description

 Recently a friend passed away - he was a gem of a person, and aside from the obvious sadness involved in all that, he was renowned for having one of the best collections of 60's Garage, Beat, Punk & Psychedelic 7"s, EPs and LPs (especially of Australian artists) - gathered together meticulously and carefully for longer than the 36 year period I'd known him. Some things he'd parted with over the past few years of little work and continuing overheads, and a small section was stolen by someone also well-known here (I suspect her karma will come) - but the bottom line is, he had amazingly good taste, and (like a previous recent collection I was selling here) the gems he had were mostly handpicked for excellence....[with some others gathered to complete (often very obscure) label collections].

Anyway, this is one of that huge collection...all of which will appear here over the next few weeks.

ARTIST:      The CHESSMEN -
TITLE:          "DANCE FAVOURITES WITH THE CHESSMEN" .
FORMAT:     …vinyl LP…
LABEL:         W&G .
CAT. #:          WG-B-1915  .
DATE OF RELEASE:   1964 .
PRESSED IN:    AUSTRALIA .
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?   I'm not certain...this has blue labels and the catalogue number on the vinyl is WG-25/1915 so this MAY be a slightly later pressing...regardless, it's rare as all hell, and it wasn't pressed and available for more than a couple of years back then...so, it's gotta be early . 

Mono (never issued in stereo), with flipback cover...

Truly great LP...a mixture of tough garage-y guitar instrumentals, and equally tough beat or rockabilly vocal tunes...regardless of which style, there's a LOT of guitars and a lotta rockin' going on...! Very rare album.

SEE PIX FOR TRACK LISTING

CONDITION:

COVER: (VG)...has had clear tape on all 3 seams but it's no longer there - stains from the tape ARE there however...small split on spine...lotsa scuffing on spine too...
VINYL: (VG+[+])...has some light marks but plays beautifully...loud cut - it rocks out!!
LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: EX-)...has pen mark across Side Two label...

If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).

You can pay in US$'s or UK pounds or EURO's or Australian dollars.

Thanks for considering this item. Best of luck if you decide to bid...Cheers, Jules.
