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.

THE UNIQUES
"PLAY TIME"
USA - PAULA RECORDS - LPS 2199
HARD TO FIND ... and::: STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CELLOPHANE
Original 1968 THIRD and last LP by the popular '60s garage band, the Uniques who were one of the leading rock outfits from the south, battling it out with the likes of the FIVE BY FIVE & John Fred & The Playboy Band, all from basically the same area...
RAREST LP by the UNIQUES, the crafted-pop & garage-punk outfit from Louisiana and Texas and who enjoyed some national chart success. Ronnie Weiss was later briefly involved with the band after his spell in Rio Grande before reforming Mouse And The Traps. Joe Stampley later became a rural-rock star. You Ain't Tuff a track from their first LP, has resurfaced on Mindrocker, Vol. 6 (LP), Nuggets, Vol. 12 (LP) and Nuggets Box (4-CD).
They were also capable of waxing good, original, Southern-flavored crafted rock tunes laced with memorable melodies, especially on "Not Too Long Ago," another big Southern hit. And, uniquely enough, they went down in USA garage-raves history with the all-out, raunchy, R&B-hued stomp, "You Ain't Tuff," which gives the band a good reputation/image among garage band collectors. The Uniques, when it came down to it, were a band content to deliver whatever the audiences wanted. That was an asset as far as finding live work, and most likely a hindrance in carving a significant creative niche for themselves. While they couldn't be considered a significant group, they were capable of crafting some enjoyable, if diffuse, singles. Joe Stampley's vocals were also admirably versatile and expressive, if not as soulful as one of his main regional rivals, John Fred & The Playboys. Most rock listeners will agree that the best Uniques records outshine John Fred & tHe Playboys and even Joe Stampley's solo work - oh, by the length of a football field!
