Grading. I don’t use the term Mint. I don’t believe that records manufactured over 30 years ago, even if unplayed, can be called mint.

Grading: Record/Cover

EX: Means either “near mint” to some light very marks with hardly any noticeable noise. Sleeve has no or only minor wear.

VG: Means means some minimal background sounds and more pronounced marks which do not affect the listening experience in a major way. Sleeve may be creased, minor discolouring, the odd fraying, some ringwear, seam split and perhaps some  writing.

G: Means noticeable clicks or pop, may have scratches, but doesn’t skip or jump. Sleeve may be ripped, tape repair, large writing, sticker removal damage etc...

Fair: Not a pleasant listening experience, the disc is damaged, just a stop gap before upgrading. Sleeve is badly damaged, not one to frame on the wall...

Poor: I don’t sell records in poor condition

Please note that in many cases Youtube clips are for reference and not from the record for sale

Bucket, The – I Can't Help Thinking of You/Papa's Taking Us To The Zoo Tomorrow- Festival (AUS) Hear a full sound clip from the record itself http://www.ecommerceplayer.com/MediaPlayer.aspx?id=ea5cf8ee-c5c0-403d-a644-0f149476d4cc

On the flip of a completely inane A side, you will find this monster. It sounds Like Cream, The Creation and The Stooges all at once - that lead break is pure Ron Asheton. Incredibly rare, it has taken me several years to locate a copy, then 2 appeared at the same time. This is the lesser condition copy. The vinyl looks quite rough, but actually plays through surprisingly well, a bit of crackle and a few light clicks at the end. One label as small neat writing, the other has a sticker stain. The start price is the price I paid for this copy. I would expect a top condition copy would go for a 4 figure sum

The Grapplers featured 2 of the Starlust guys (see The Starlust listing) Both tracks are real scorchers featuring a fine raucous and raunchy sound.It captures a performance reminding of the Proto Punk of Streak with some Wowii moves thrown in.. Released on their own label it features a nice insert, but for auction here is  the unfindable over-sized sleeve version.. Sleeve has slight wear and very sall tear at the opening. Signed on front. Note for postage this will have to be sent in a larger package

Stumpwater/Ronnie and Natalie - Turn Me On Woman/ 6 Times - WMC (Canada) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAuZn9Gqz7g

Simply incredible Bonehead crunching double-sider! Stumpwater were without any doubt a killer combo supremely loud and heavy, oozing attitude and a rampant sexuality, but not quite as rampant as the other side which features Natalie Pollock and who’s screeching vocals complement Ronnie.It is no wonder Ronnie managed to get it up 6 times a night!

Jan Berry - Universal Coward/ I Can't Wait To Love You - Liberty Promo Pic sleeve (US) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoBWe40pxHs

By a long way my favourite anti-protest song. Apart from the hilarious lyrics, the backing and tune are immense with its rich folkrock sound and wrecking crew backing. Dean was so disgusted by its right-wing sentiment that he refused to take part.  Funnily enough P.F Sloan was a long time Jan and Dean associate and Jan and Dean recorded Eve of Destruction on their Folk ' Roll LP. Go figure. This copy has the very rare pic sleeve in VG+ condition which dictates the higher price, which is  much less than it can go for

Lady is a sharp rousing Rocker, but it's the B side that really stands out...The vocals recall Sweet at times and the obligatory handclaps are there, but there is a weirdness in the arrangement and production that envelops the performance ( dig those vary-speeded vocals) and drops the song into some sort of Psych/Glam mish-mash.

Starlust is one of those names mentioned in the same breath as other New York bands thrown up in the wake of the New York Dolls such Teenage Lust, Harlots of 42nd Street, Magic Tramps, Brats etc…Girly Books & Magazines  sounds like a total New York sleaze classic –right? Well it nearly is - the tune.performance and lyrical content are great, however it goes on and on and on for over 6 minute ,Archive copy

On the B side of a commercial poppy affair, Rockin’ Suzanna is a great  Jagger mimic job. It has all the Jaggerisms down pat over a Down The Road Apiece/Route 66 chugging machine. Nifty guitar too…Imagine a 1972 Stones track without the smack.

Bad Luck -  Le Motard/Terre de Feu -Mad Music (Swiss) Hear a clip https://youtu.be/g61U4r7j_MY

"I’m a biker, not a delinquent” goes the chorus of this misplaced slice of not so-hell-bent-for-leather Biker Thug Rock. The fact that the band came from Yverdon a centre for watchmaking in Switzerland rather than Hicksville Oregon or Detroit partly explains their safe positioning. However why does the singer spout theses inanities with such venom, why do the guitars roar louder than any Japanese bike ever could? Why is the performance so bestial and why do they sound like they really MEAN it man?.Orignal with inner sleeve

Sarawest was a Toronto band who played around clubs at the time and released this lone single. It’s a cracking double-sider with Saturday (Hot &Heavy) being the outright rocker and Space Rider, as it title indicates, the heavy psych excursion. Both sides are full to the brim with stunning heavy freak guitar moves, transposing 1969 into 1974, which indicates they must have been a blinding live act.
