Description

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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us.  Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.  We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +22,000 positive feedback.   We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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.

  • NEW ZEALAND - HIS MASTERS VOICE - 
The Breakaways broke out of the Taranaki region of New Zealand's North Island in 1965 and went to Wellington, the capital city, to sign with HMV Records NZ. Their records catapulted them to nationwide fame via teen tv shows, six 45s, and two LPs. Having had already two big New Zealand hits, The Breakaways were en route to Taranaki with a rare night off when they realized The Pretty Things – in the middle of the controversial New Zealand tour – would be playing that evening in Whanganui. Experiencing up close the raw excitement of The Pretty Things consolidated their move away from pop and towards torrid rhythm and blues.

"Lets Take A Sea Cruise!"
The Breakaways 1966 first LP from 58 years past. The glorious album is totally solid both sides reminding of early rave-up Rolling Stones meeting early cooking Pretty Things; high octane energy fuzzed-up R&B! Blistering garage blasts! Dangerous interpretations of the early Easybeat‘s Yet it's their hero worshiping Pretty Things punk-snarl that grabs the listeners attention. Nearing six decades onward it's of little wonder why the exceedingly near impossible original is valued/sold for $500+ to $1000 in playable shape.  Untamed abandon is the center-point of this cool group obscurity.

Along with the
MISSING LINKS, the first Breakaways "Sea Cruise" rates highly in 1965 to 1967 big beat blasts !

  1.   CONDITION:

  2. The cover: rated: VG(+) decidedly graded, though the laminated front cover remains very presentable, the minor flaws are rounded corners wear, handling crinkles at seams, and the back (non laminated) is missing a couple inches at top right of lamination layer on old style flap-back seam which folds over from laminated front Every song title on back cover has small check mark besides signifying every track is a winner ! .
  3. Yep, the back cover sports old sixties flap-back seams. Also aged small round blank sticker.  Overall, signs of reasonable handling wear to the delicate cover. There are no delete marks, no split seams and no writing, with still bright original 1966 colors  ...

  1. The vinyl: Rated: VG(+) has numerous top surface fine/light scuff lines, nothing deep yet still some crackle while playing enjoyable if one doesn't mind sporadic light audio imperfection.  Both (New Zealand) HIS MASTERS VOICE labels are clean




A cool addition to anyone's music library!
