A boon for U.S. Libertines fans who haven't sprung for their U.K. singles, the domestically released I Get Along EP collects the title track, some B-sides from their previous singles, and the new single "Don't Look Back into the Sun." "I Get Along" is one of the most straightforwardly rock songs from the band's great debut album, Up the Bracket; it's fun and energetic, but doesn't quite capture the impact of their sweet melodies and rough delivery the way the album's best songs do. "Don't Look Back into the Sun," however, is one of the band's best pop songs, subtler but just as catchy as their Up the Bracket work. It's a bittersweet song, and all the more so because at the time of its release, the band's co-founder, Pete Doherty, was no longer with the band, having skipped rehearsals and gigs, broken into bandmate Carl Barat's flat, and formed his own band, also named the Libertines (which he then changed to the more apt and less confusing Baby Shambles). This pugnacious eccentricity informs the rest of I Get Along's tracks, though; songs such as "Mayday," the B-side of the Libertines' first single, What a Waster, are sloppy and excited, revealing the drunken chaos from which the band evolved. "Skag & Bone Man" and "The Delaney," which come from the two parts of the Up the Bracket single, have lots of "yeah yeah yeah/no no no" choruses amidst the harmonies and cackling laughter. "Skag & Bone Man" sounds like an argument set to music; the song even stops for what sounds like a brief fistfight before dusting itself off and starting up again. This tension between Barat and Doherty and pop, punk, and garage is what made the Libertines an exciting band; whether or not Doherty eventually rejoins, I Get Along is a welcome artifact of his tumultuous time with them..

All shipping costs worldwide are under the shipping tab at the bottom!!

Let me say something about shipping:  I am not Amazon.com.  I go to the post office once a week, usually on Wednesday.  So if you pay Tuesday night, it will go out the next day, or if you pay Wednesday afternoon it will go out in a week.  And sometimes, obviously, the day may change (I do have another life).    I have never had a package lost and do not get complaints about packing.  If you cannot be patient with shipping time...well, you know.   Of course all your purchases are guaranteed for satisfaction.  There is some estimation in grading records...I am not selling drill bits or batteries...but if I make a mistake, I make it right.  I would appreciate across the board positive feedback for my effort to sell clean, important cds and records.  (Ebay assumes I am selling drill bits!)

All records are guaranteed if returned in same condition. 

Records are visually graded unless stated...have been doing this for a long time.

All grades are cover first, then record. 

MINT is unplayed, sealed, or play-graded mint.

MINT MINUS is like new but probably played once or twice...most would grade this mint

NEAR MINT is near new with some slight signs of play...an extremely clean record

VERY GOOD PLUS is collectible but might have some light sleeve marks and some light noise...still plays very well with no major issues.

I WILL USE  (+) AND (-) FOR EMPHASIS ON THE BASIC GRADES...I DO NOT LIST ITEMS LESS THAN VERY GOOD PLUS UNLESS THEY ARE EXTREMELY RARE AND THEN A FULL DISCLOSURE WILL BE PROVIDED.   BID WITH CONFIDENCE.

Flaws in covers will be noted.
