Description
THE VICTORS: We Struck a Match/Summer Souvenir (Alpha 603/196?)
Proto-garage frat rock weirdness; early 60's sound; slightly over-enthusiastic drumming. (Note: The Wickham Garage Records guide lists this only as having a promo label, but this is a stock copy.)
The picture sleeve is VG- (heavy creasing; some tearing along top opening; tape on seam corners at top; tear on lower right seam). The record looksVG+ (a small number of tiny marks on both sides, a few light scuff lines), plays Ex (couple of "whooshes" at beginning of each side).
See my other auctions for some garage and psych as well as some weird 45s. Some good fuzz to be heard here and there.
More to be added during the week.
GENERAL INFO
SHIPPING: Shipping costs will be quoted based on cost for estimated weight plus $1.00 to cover most of the cost of packing materials.
All records are packed in in between two cardboard filler pads and shipped in professional cardboard mailing boxes. All unsealed 12" records are taken out of their covers to prevent seam splitting. If there is a custom inner sleeve, the record will be put in a separate white inner. If a 7" record comes in a picture sleeve, the same procedure is followed.
GRADING: I grade records both visually and audibly. As grading is so imprecise and subjective, I don't have a set grading description like you see listed in many auction and collector magazines. My grades for records and covers are based on the overall conditions I describe in each auction; I will note any visual defects and (for the vinyl) any non-musical sounds (pops, clicks, skips, etc.).
