Rare Junk

LP (Item 710364) Liberty, 1968 — Condition: Very Good+
These guys just get better and better with each of their records – finding a depth and seriousness that they might have been lacking at the start – while still holding onto their sharper wit, and wide-ranging interpretation of sounds from previous years of the 20th century! The group's style mixes together roots of jazz, string band music, folk, and trippier rock – all with a blend that's maybe as pan-historical as Harpers Bizarre at their best, with a similar sense of aesthetic play that was years ahead of its time! The approach shouldn't work as well as it does – but it does – on titles that include versions of "These Days" and "Reason To Believe" – plus "End Of Your Line", "Sadie Green The Vamp Of New Orleans", "Mournin Blues", "A Number & A Name", and "Willie The Weeper".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

A late 60s classic from Canned Heat – a record that captures the group during that moment when their unique blend of styles was really on fire!

Liberty, Mid 60s. Near Mint-
A goofy title track, and a groovy little album from Jan & Dean – a set that has them settling nicely into their role as one of the most playful pairs in west coast pop – with a heck of a lot more staying power than some of their more surf-washed contemporaries! The album's got a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ice Cream For Crow
Virgin, 1982. Near Mint-
The final recording from the good Captain and his last crew, and one of our favorites.
