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. 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.

1968 ORIGINAL PRESSING + AMAZING WILD FUZZ-PUNK GARAGE
TRANSPARENT RED VINYL!
THE GOLDEN CUPS
VOLUME ONE
\ JAPAN - Rainbow CAPITOL - CP 8339
RED VINYL ORIGINAL
1968 first pressing in eye-popping gatefold sleeve on the famously collected Rainbow Capitol label ...
SUPER COOL...fuzzed up garage teen scene group sounds by the legendary GOLDEN CUPS. These 'Cups' had an amazing ability when talking '60s garage fuzz-rock and were captured early in the "Pepples" series due to their wig lifting output...
In 1966 the cosmopolitan port town of Yokohama Japan proved the perfect breeding ground for the new Group Sounds. Just as in Liverpool and Hamburg, the local kids were exposed to a wealth of foreign culture not readily available to the typical Japanese teen. Yokohama Japan had it's own exotic culture, and it was there that, in December of '66, the Golden Cups were born.At this time the Cup's vocalist and founder Dave Hirao was already a rock'n'roll veteran, having played earlier with the Sphinx. But it was his visit to the States in ’65 that made him an eager convert to the new beat style - the bands he saw there left him stunned! The other members of the band were no less ready to switch to the Group 'teen-beat" sound. Eddy Ban (lead guitar & vocals) made it to the U.S. in '65 as well, and returned with an odd device called a fuzz box, perhaps the first to arrive in Japan. Kenneth Ito (guitar, vocals) had a special affinity for the West, having grown up in Hawaii. He owned the first Fender guitar to reach Japan (imported instruments being prohibitively expensive back then); a Telecaster like his heroes Mike Bloomfield used. He also used Gibson SG and with Kenneth on board the Cups didn't have to struggle with English like the other Japanese 'group sounds' outfits. The group was rounded out by Louis Kabe (who would go on to be part of the legendary "Speed Glue & Shinki" as well as "Foodbrain") on bass, and Mamoru Manu (drums, vocals).
Initially using the name Group and I,” they became the house band at the Golden Cup discotheque near the Honmoku army base. Their clientele was made up mainly of GI's, and their set list entirely of covers: "One More Time"(Them), "Evil Woman"(Canned Heat), "Gloria","Stroll On","I Got My Mojo Workin'" (their opening tune), "I Feel Good" (James Brown), "Work Song"(Paul Butterfield Blues Band), etc. The Golden Cups #1 Album made its appearance in March 1968, a diverse collection of originals and covers. While it has its share of killer tunes, the album reflects the disagreements the band was having with Capitol Records regarding musical direction. Left to their own devices the Cups liked to play R&B tunes like "I Feel Good" or "Got My Mojo Working," while "Giniro no Glass"and their other originals were exercises in fuzzed-out punk mayhem! "Hey Joe" is an example of the real Golden Cups sound at its finest. The slow Jimi Hendrix version made the song famous in Japan, so the many teen scene groups who recorded it copied this style – but not the Golden Cups! Their "Hey Joe"is based on the garage versions recorded by bands like Love or the Leaves, but with a wild, extended psychedelic freak-out in the middle. This "Hey Joe" version is got to be one of the five most savage and stunning garage-punk efforts to come out of Japan! Ppropelled by a riff that descends the scale like a bolt of crackling lightning, while Kabe's nimble bass runs and Manu's frantic pounding provide the accompanying thunder. The lyrics, while simple, are in the best anti-social teenage punk tradition.
