RARE MONO 1966 JANGLE GARAGE CLASSIC !
===============================
THE BLUE THINGS
________
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.

CONDITION: The cover is strong with no seam splits, no bends and no writing. Back cover is clean with 'demonstration' promotional stamp in red which only raises the value as a promo from 44 years ago...
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...by far better than visual grade
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
