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.

TWANG GUITAR SNOTTY GARAGE PUNK STOMPER!
RARE 1966 MONO ORIGINAL PRIVATE PRESSING
THE INVICTAS
A GO-GO
USA - SAHARA - SA 101 ((MONO))
REDICULOUSLY RARE ...CLEAN ORIGINAL
1966 MONO first pressing...vinyl ...Usually, IF found, it's wasted ...but here is an amazingly CLEAN survivor from 45 years ago, an East Coast private pressing on the obscure 'Sahara' label ... As far back as the 80's, collectors of sixties garage rock were paying upwards of $250 for The Invictas album in clean shape...
You want primitive howling garage rock ? Don't go no further...The INVICTAS ~ "A GO GO" Raves and stomps with raw energy, twang guitar crunch...
Hailing from Rochester, New York, today The Invictas are all but forgotten in the mists of rock history. Singer/guitarist Herb McGovern (aka Herb Gross), guitarist Mark Harris, drummer Dave Hickey and bassist Jim Kohler first met while attending college (Syracuse and the Rochester Institute Of Technology). Like half the country, they discovered a mutual interest in rock, promptly forming a band. School dances and local club dates won the band a following among university students, eventually attracting the attention of Steve Brodie who happened to own the small Sahara label.
Signed to Sahara, 1966's "The Invictas a go-go" teamed the quartet with producer Dave Lucas. Musically the set featured a cool mix of popular jams and originals. Performed with considerable enthusiasm, and with a charming low-tech sound, the album is actually a blast to listen to. As lead singer McGovern/Gross wasn't anything to write home about. He didn't have much in the way of range, snarling garage/punk attitude vocals that occasionally recalled a dog yelping in pain ("The Hook"). Still, there was something attractive about the way these guys blew their wad through popular tunes such as "Hang On Sloopy", "Land Of A 1000 Dances" and "Satisfaction". Penned by Gross, the five originals are garage rock worthy (the closer "Do It" being the most impressive number next to 'The Hump'), and "The Hump" was apparently a large regional hit (to quote the liner notes "the biggest selling record in the New York state area, exceeding sales of those English Mop Tops, The BeaTles"). It won't change your life, but makes for a great party LP and much better stomp for stomp that most all of the 'Justice' labe garage legends...
