THE BRUTHERS
BAD WAY TO GO b/w BAD LOVE
RCA VICTOR 47-8920
VG++
SUPER RARE FRANTIC GARAGE RECORD FROM 1966 - TOTAL RAW AGGRESSION HERE! - HERE'S WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THIS ONE ON ALL MUSIC GUIDE -
The Bruthers only released one single, "Bad Way to Go"/"Bad Love," in 1966. But the A-side eventually became one of the most highly regarded mid-'60s garage band obscurities after its reissue on Pebbles, Vol. 8. It was also one of the rawest garage band tracks to gain release on a major label (RCA), its furiously fast, shifting rhythms, berserk circular guitar and organ riffs, and malicious put-down lyrics bringing to mind something like a garage band at a harem. The Bruthers were actually real brothers: Alf Delia (who wrote most of the original material they recorded, including "Bad Way to Go"), Frank Delia, Mike Delia, and Joe Delia. The Pearl River, New York quartet had started performing in the early 1960s, and by the mid-'60s hooked up with manager Sid Bernstein, who also handled the Young Rascals and the Blues Project (as well as promoting mid-'60s New York City concerts for the Beatles). The single made no commercial impact, depending upon revival from garage collectors to reach a bigger audience, starting with its inclusion in the Pebbles series, and later a full CD in 2003 that matched both sides of the single with RCA outtakes and some demos from 1965 and 1967. After the Bruthers broke up in 1967, keyboardist Joe Delia went on to play as a sideman for numerous acts, playing and arranging David Johansen's 1987 hit "Hot Hot Hot," and scoring many feature films, documentaries, and TV series. Guitarist Frank Delia eventually directed videos for the Ramones, Wall of Voodoo, and Jefferson Starship, as well as some episodes for television series.

Grading is as follows:
I will never advertise something as Mint unless it has never been opened. I rarely use NM (near mint) unless it looks like it has never been taken out of the sleeve and played.
VG++; Great copy, any collector would be happy with. Very little to no wear on record, no real scratches, scuffs or marks. Plays almost like new.
VG+; Also a great copy but may have some markings on vinyl or label, may also have some slight noise. A great copy for collector's.
VG; Markings on vinyl or label, background noise.
VG-: Has seen a better day! but still plays with very noticable noise.
G: A demolished record, I will only use this rating if it is something extremely rare, scratches and may possibly have a skip.
All records sold whether new or used are sold as used, as most listed will be out of print for many years. All records sold (unless sealed) have been played LOUD on a Garrard Type A70 turntable with Empire 888 cartridge and stylli. Grading varies from one seller to the next as many are stricter in their grading than others. I believe I represent the records I sell fairly,
