Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

AMAZING *BEST* 1966 TOP COPY ORIGINAL
NORTH WEST GARAGE!!
DON AND THE GOODTIMES
== WHERE THE ACTION IS!! ==
\ USA - WAND RECORDS - WDS 679
TOP COPY ~ STILL IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER = One of the best copies you can hope to find ... LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST OPENED
ORIGINAL 1966 first pressing of the legendary Northwest garage crew who rivaled the Wailers and Sonics ...even beating them both in a firece battle of the bands contest (you gotta be wondering about the judging there) but...Don and The Good Times were a reckon to be dealt with alive in concert....
Though Paul Revere & The Raiders and The Kingsmen scored more national hits, and the Wailers and Sonics are held in highest esteem by record-collectors, Don and the Goodtimes were every bit their equal in creating stomping, rave-up R 'n' B and all-out thrashing Northwest rock 'n' roll. The band not only captured the essence of their contemporaries (e.g., their howling cover of the Sonics' "The Witch" captures the original's ferocity, and their rendition of The Kingsmen's "Long Green" surely helped the Goodtimes top the Northwest Battle of the Bands), but they also contributed to the Northwest rock 'n' roll vernacular with stellar originals like "Little Sally Tease."
Formed in 1964 by ex-Kingsmen keyboardist Don Gallucci and ex-Raider guitarist Pete Oulette (who, in turn was replaced by future Raider Jim Valley), they were joined by Don McKinney, a vocalist who was equally at home thrashing through Northwest rock 'n' roll as he was belting out garage-tinged R 'n' B rock 'n' soul sounds of Dave Childs funky bass playing, and the power-punch drumming of Bob Holden.
Like all of the era's popular garage bands of the sixties, the Goodtimes' set list was fleshed out with covers. All tracks feature heavy emphasis on their signature riffs and killer back-beats. The band also played tight, garage jams with organ and guitar each taking their turns on tunes like The Kingsmen's "Bent Scepter," and the Gallucci-penned answer, "Straight Scepter," the organ and guitar workout of "Lip Service," and their discotheque (or Las Vegas grind) debut single, "Turn On."
The Goodtimes eventually relocated to Los Angeles, where they found a measure of national success. Their pictures graced teen magazines, and they became regulars on Dick Clark's "Where the Action Is."
