Now And Then (1968) TWO LP SET

50 years of age and NEVER OPENED This is a STILL FACTORY SEALED

ADVANCED RELEASE PROMOTIONAL ::::ORIGINAL 1968 PRESSING!

The   FIVE   AMERICANS, five Oklahoma kids who blew the roof off the national charts when they moved to Dallas in 1966 and cut 5 top 40 HIT-smashes like "Westurn Union"," and "I See the Light"  recorded plenty of swaggering garage material before  and after their chart-topping days at Abnak Records.
The   FIVE   AMERICANS scarce  '68 "NOW & THEN" became their hardest to find LP, a THICK double album featuring their smash hits plus a whole lot more. If you could own just ONE Five Americans album, it's said, this is the one!
Here's a NEVER OPENED STILL FACTORY SEALED ORIGINAL!

The   FIVE   AMERICANS
were the first to achieve what no other group in Texas had done in five short years... selling millions of singles and albums. Over the years the group still got together to play an occasional show.
The 1968 double album called "Now and Then" was issued with most of the band's hit songs on it, however the masters to all their material were sold to Sundazed Music around 1985 without The Five Americans' knowledge and the band unfairly received no royalties from the sales (!)

"Westurn Union" still gets air play on oldies radio on average of 5000 times per month in the U.S. and Canada, and as of January of 1998, "Westurn Union" achieved the one million mark in air play according to BMI, Broadcast Music INC.
