RARE 2nd press from 35+ years ago ...a limited EXACT issue of the MEGA RARE 1967 garage-rocking TOP COLLECTIBLE:
"P.J. Orion & The Magnates" were a prep-Garage band formed by "Jeremiah Milbank III" (lead guitar, vocals), "Aristedes George Embiricos" (bass guitar),"Peter John Goulandris" (rhythm guitar, lead vocals) and "Peter Nicholas Goulandris" (drums).
The band members belonged to wealthy Greek shipping families (hence "Magnates") and were students at the Groton prep school in Massachusetts -- of the numerous"prep-garage-rocker" albums to be released on small or private labels by prep school students in the mid-'60s, (see; Rising Storm, Ha'Penny's, Foul Dogs, Rasputin & The Monks, etc) ... The self-titled one by "P.J. Orion & The Magnates", recorded in New York City remains among the better of such albums. The tracks are very inspired with the bands own special adaptions in songs like  "As Tears Go By", "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place","Eve Of Destruction", "Under The Boardwalk",  "Sheila", "Love Minus Zero", "What Have They Done to the Rain", "Bells Of Rhymney", and "Gloria". And all of them are done in a garage-like Byrds style, with the kind of jangly electric guitar arrangements in which "The Byrds" specialized in, though the production is not as sophisticated which gives them the cool charming edge found only in true '60s  similar efforts. For all that, the tunes are pretty well executed, and "P.J. Orion & The Magnates" must have been a good choice to play at high school dances back in the day.

Though very rare in its original pressing, the record became fairly well-known among '60s garage rock collectors after getting repressed in small quantity some 35 or more years ago... now even this repress is hard to find, rarely seen and well off the beaten path.
