After Stan Smith -- the last remaining founding member -- and Roberts resigned circa 1965, Floyd and Bobby Smith recruited guitarists Gary P. Nunn and Louie Holt and drummer Jimmy Marriot to form the definitive Sparkles lineup; with Roy Orbison drummer Larry Parks installed as producer, the group signed to the Hickory label to release the 1966 single "The Hip," a major hit in Austin, where by most accounts they were the most popular act among University of Texas fraternity members. Two more Hickory singles -- "Something That You Said" and "Jack and the Beanstalk" -- followed by year's end, and in 1967 the Sparkles recorded their masterpiece, "No Friend of Mine," an incendiary effort distinguished by Nunn's snarling guitar lead and Floyd's remarkably anguished vocal. (The song was later immortalized via inclusion on the first Nuggets box set.) After one last Hickory single, "Hipsville 29 B.C.," Nunn and Holt quit the band, and Floyd, Smith, and Marriot soon after relocated to California, rechristening the band the Pearly Gate. According to legend, they were scheduled to perform at a benefit for Robert F. Kennedy the night of his assassination -- they also appeared on the television series Judd for the Defense before returning to Texas and restoring the Sparkles name. Future John Denver guitarist Steve Weisberg played in this final go-round. After Floyd returned to California to join the folk-rock group Red Wilder Blue, the Sparkles finally dissolved in 1972. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi A-Side No Friend Of Mine A-Side The Hip A-Side Jack And The Beanstalk B-Side Hipsville 29 BC A-Side Daddy Gonna Put The Hurt On You B-Side Oh, Girls, Girls B-Side Oh, Girls, Girls B-Side I Want To Be Free B-Side Something That You Said Lable Hickory Lable Hickory Lable Sundazed Lable Hickory Cat # 45-1364 Cat # 45-P-1406 Cat # Sep-176 Cat # 45-1390 Vinyl EX Vinyl NM Vinyl Mint Vinyl VG Sleeve Generic Sleeve Generic Sleeve Mint Sleeve Generic Issue Stock (Hole Drilled) Issue Promo (Hole Drilled) Issue Stock Issue Stock (Torn Lable) Country US Country US Country US Country US All 45's will be posted out using proper mailers with stiffeners.

have been buying on eBay now for many years and have over a thousand positive feedbacks. There is a reason why i have opened a new account with eBay to sell rather than use my existing account. I have in the last year or so returned to my Christian belief. I want to follow what is scriptual in disposing of what, quite honestly, has been a bit of a millstone around my neck. One day i looked around at all the many thousand items that filled two rooms and came to a dawning realisation that i had no idea what 90% of all this stuff was. I mean, i could go and buy something, play it once, log it, and that was the last i ever saw of it. So, this has handed me a golden opportunity to turn around this situation into something positive. I usually find something to say about what i am selling along with a track listing for albums. I hope that my passion and love for these items shines through occasionally amongst my rambling. So why would i want to just give them away. Simple, my love for Jesus as my redeemer is even greater. Matthew chapter 6 verses 1-4 explains the reason for a new eBay account whilst Matthew chapter 19 verses 16-21 gives my explanation for giving the lot to the Haiti Hospital Appeal. S O, D I G D E E P A N D B I D H I G H!!!! and keep watching as there lots of serious stuff to come (Unreleased Gram Parsons acetate, a couple of hundred Westwood one type radio shows, unreleased Townes Van Zandt acetate and hundreds more of similar ilk).
