WITH MUCH APPRECIATION TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS: If you have a question on orders received, please contact us. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. When leaving Feedback, please consider the following: eBay's policy on the 5-star rating system is anything less than a 5 reduces our standing with eBay and ultimately can affect our selling abilities. SO 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.
We have 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 2/3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers.
We mail all paid orders out once a week on Fridays/Saturdays. 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 to Monday. We strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. Please be aware we have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.
TO OUR REPEAT CUSTOMERS: We are happy to hold orders to save on shipping. Please pay your current invoice within five days of auctions ending and, if you request, we will hold your order and reflect a shipping discount for each additional order shipped together in the same parcel.
As always, thank you for your support!
RARE MONO 1966 JANGLE GARAGE CLASSIC !
THE BLUE THINGS
USA - RCA VICTOR (dog label) Records - LPM 3603 - MONO
USA - RCA VICTOR (dog label) Records - LPM 3603 - MONO
Original 1966 first pressing in glorious punchy MONAUAL production....of the legendary collectible The Blue Things...a lyrically vivid & jangle guitar classic in the garage sixties scene...
Comes with the original 1966 stylized RCA inner sleeve
Beatlemania struck Kansas too....
Blue Things leader Val Stecklein started this group on the early 60's and tried to cash in on his slight resembalence to Paul McCartney. Really he was the only decent looking guy in the pack. The Blue Things were dressed in their "BritishBeat Best" when they released their only Lp on RCA. The Blue Things are remembered as one of the best bands to come out of the Midwest in the 60's, although they were unheard of outside of the Midwest in their brief lifespan...though great enough that they hooked up with a major label...Great melodies, hooks galore, strong songs, it's all here. Like others, first impressions lumped them as somewhat like the Byrds, Beau Brummels or Rubber Soul era Beatles. Strong garage & folk rock sound mix, not thin but instead with a fat base from which to build their songs. Cliche as it is, it really is somewhat amazing that this band faded into obscurity with material this strong. Whereas the latter-day Brummels drifted toward rural music, the Blue Things embraced psychedelia, as seen in the post-LP efforts "The Orange Rooftop of Your Mind", the "Doctor Robert"- inspired "One Hour Cleaners", and "You Can Live in Our Tree", which sounds like Dylan after an acid trip.

The cover: is strong with no seam splits, no bends and no writing only having a little light previous use, VG++ that should work well in virtually any collection...the original colors are still bright...
The vinyl: still has the original glossy luster, very shiny both sides, VG++, having some light superficial hairlines, nothing near bad. Deep groove and winner should find playback excellent, enjoyable...
keeper!
A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
