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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

TOP COPY!!!
ULTRA RARE...Original 196? first pressing ***CLEAN***(see top rated condition details below)
Along with albums like the Fantastic Dee Jays and The Dimensions, this is probably one of the scarcest "garage" sixties album in existance.
>> Only a handful of copies are known to exist of this LP, which is given the highest (6 discs) value rating in the Collector Dreams Pokora book -- Only the second copy we've EVER had in many years and the 3rd copy we've ever heard about... the only other copy remotely around can currently be found on eBay for a mere $1,800. to give you an idea of the "rarity" of this item.
Custom (private) pressed in micro quantity by the terminally obscure RPC label, the record contains very little info, not even band member's last names! It is however an Eastcoast garage band '60s teenbeat LP that may be a genuine live recording. The album has the typical, charming, lo-fi production associated with all great garage albums of the era. Structured only in their guitar, bass, drums and singer line-up, The Royalaires are tight and rocking, and the vocalist is much rawer than the nervous teenagers heard on those Justice label albums. Whoever he was, lead guitarist "Art" was actually quite good, turning in a series of nice, revved-up performances - check out their 'Walkin the Dog', 'Bring It On Home', or 'Guitar Boogie'.
On the best tracks like "Rockin' Robin" and "Together Again" the Royalaires sound like one of the great Pacific Northwest bands like the Sonics or the Wailers. This album has a very cool backwoods Saturday night atmosphere; not moptop beat but tough '60s greaser rockers! Beautiful copy, still in shrink. M / M-
