Description
This is a really interesting LP. This band was apparently from Maine. The LP was recorded in 1977 and is on Rainbow Records. Rainbow, as far as I can tell, is the band’s own label.
The LP is essentially a bunch of covers of pop and R&B songs. The lone exception is song 1 on side 1. This is a Bill Chinnock written song called “Sweet Country Home”. Chinnock plays guitar on it. While all the other songs on this LP were recorded at Dancing Moose Studio in Cherryfield, Maine, and engineered by John Stuart, “Sweet Country Home” was recorded at “Eight Track Recording Studio” and engineered by Stu Davis and Rick Hazeltine. (I’m not sure if Eight Track Recording Studio is the name of the studio or a description of the equipment it was recorded on.) “Sweet Country Home” is an upbeat pop song.
Unless you know the folks in the band or used to see them play back in the 1970s, the cover songs are of little interest. "Sweet Country Home" is, to the best of my knowledge, an unreleased Bill Chinnock song. It’s a very cool song and a cool collector’s item for Bill Chinnock fans.

Condition Guide:
STILL SEALED (SS): New, still sealed in shrink wrap.
NEAR MINT (NM): Like new. Vinyl appears to have never been played or played infrequently. Cover shows little, if any, wear.
EXCELLENT (EX): Otherwise near mint but has slight cosmetic flaws that don't affect play. Close to perfect, with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident. The cover might have light ring-wear or minor denting to a corner, but should look close to new.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve, a slight scratch that does not affect play, or some of the original luster may be lost. Cover may have some small bends, denting and ring wear, but there is no writing on it and the seams are intact.
VERY GOOD (VG): Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise. Cover may have heavy ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains.
VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-): Vinyl may have numerous scratches including heavy scratches that will tick, heavy surface noise. The cover might have large seam splits, tears, or writing on the cover that obscures the artwork. I usually don't list records in this condition unless it is an extremely rare title.(Some sellers call these records WBR, or Wrecked But Rare)
Platterpus Records has been in business since 1982. Over the years we have learned that our customers have different preferred methods of cleaning their vinyl. Therefore, we do not clean our vinyl prior to offering it for sale. You receive it in the same condition we did. You can then use whatever method you choose to clean the record. We try to be very accurate when describing our vinyl. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail us. Please remember that we are a fairly busy retail store and it may take us a day to answer your question.
PlatterpusNewEngland is the eBay arm of Platterpus Records. We started out 28 years ago in Westfield, MA and recently moved to 74 Cottage Street, Easthampton, MA. Our eBay store is just a very, very tiny part of our business. Our retail store is loaded with vinyl, used CDs, posters, vintage t-shirts and more. If your find yourself in Western Massachusetts, stop by, say “hi” and check us out.
You will also find some non-music related items in our eBay store. This is usually vintage stuff – often automotive related, as I’m a bit of a car geek – that we have no room for in the retail store.
