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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

The Walker Brothers became most successful achieving enormous heights in the pop-rock charts in the UK and Europe to the extent of BEATLE-MANIA. Though they weren't British, and neither were they brothers, and, as well, their real names weren't even Walker, but Scott Engel, John Maus, and Gary Leeds were huge stars in the UK (and small ones in their native land) at the peak of the British Invasion.
They adopted the 'Walker Brothers' name as a show business touch. The Walker Brothers formed in Los Angeles in 1964. John Maus' band, in which Scott Engel played bass, had a residency at Gazzari's Club, and were seen one night by local drummer Gary Leeds. All three had played in other bands – Engel had played, for example, with The Routers, and Leeds with The Standells.
In March 1966, The Walker Brothers hit #1 for the second time in six months with "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore". At that point, the Walker Brothers’ popularity in UK – particularly that of Scott – reached a new high, especially among teenage girls, and their fan club in the country was said to have been larger than The Beatles'. Although "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" also made the U.S. Top 20, they had much less success in their home country. Nevertheless, the 1966 album celebrating their top 20 US chart success offers, after 42 years, a fine selection of infectious/memorable tunes from various U.K. LPs, EPs, and singles. - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)
