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 become 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.

WHY PICK ON ME
USA - TOWER RECORDS - T 5044 MONOPHONIX
MINTY CLEAN VINYL !
The 1966 Original TOWER LABEL of the second STANDELLS album in glorious MONO = a great garage punker with killer songs from start to finish ....
The Standells made number 11 in 1966 with "Dirty Water," an archetypal garage rock hit with its Stonesish riff, lecherous vocal, and combination of raunchy guitar and organ. They cut a number of strong, similar tunes in the 1966-67 era that have been recognized as '60s punk classics. "Garage rock" was a coin phrase centered on this group with some imaginative touches of period psychedelia and poprock mixed in their snarly tough & cool infectious tunes. Their image considerably toughened, the group churned out four albums in 1966 and 1967, as well as appearing in (and contributing the theme song to) the psychedelic exploitation movie Riot on Sunset Strip ...
"Why Pick On Me" was released later in the year of 1966 (right after their "Dirty Water" first album) and the Standells hit pay dirt again with a terrific one-two combination punch of solid garage punk nuggets in "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Where White" and "Why Pick On Me", the album with the same working title is every bit as strong as their first with solid 'garage rock' numbers littered along both sides; "Mainline", "Black Hearted Woman", "Mr Nobody" and so on, which makes it very sought after & collectible some 43 years after the release.....
