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. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio 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!

1963 GARAGE/SURF RAVE-UP featuring the timelessly classic ""WIPE OUT""
A fun filled ago-go primitive cooker that jams from beginning to end making the album a 'must have' and top of the heap sound-sation of the surf/garage genre.
The Surfaris from southern California were a band of teenagers with less than enough pocket money to record their work. The group was actually composed of the following young artists: Jim Fuller (lead guitar), Robert Berryhill (rhythm guitar), Ron Wilson (drums), and Pat Connolly (bass).
The breakthrough belongs to Wilson, who did such an excellent job on the long drum solos that it became one of the most famous drum solo breaks played and recorded.
ex-member Jim Pash told Dan Forte of Vintage Guitar magazine that "the format of 'Wipe Out' was inspired by Preston Epps' "Bongo Rock," as suggested by Bob Berryhill." In fact, Drummer Ron Wilson was the head drummer in the Charter High School Marching Band at the time and, according to Pash, "the 'Wipe Out' solo is actually a drum cadence they'd use to march the band onto the football field at halftime." Wilson would later set the world record for continuous drum soloing at 104 1/2 hours! He died of a brain aneurysm in 1989.
The group gathered money from their parents while scouting for a place to carry out their rehearsals and came across Dale Smallin. Owner of a small studio in Cucamonga, California, Smallin later became the Surfaris’ manager. At Samllin's studio, they record a song called "Surfer Joe." When the engineer reminded the group that it takes two songs to make a single, the Surfaris recorded "Wipe Out," which they considered the throwaway B-side - they certainly didn’t consider themselves a surf/garage band. Smallin pressed 100 copies of the single, which are rare collector's items today and about 10 seconds longer than the Dot Records released version. He released the song on his DFS record label, and also allowed the Princess label to put out the song. One of the Princess copies made its way to Dot records, a major label which purchased the master tapes, edited off the 10 seconds at the end, and released the single with "Wipe Out" as the A-side and "Surfer Joe" as the flip. In this release, "Wipe Out" became a huge hit and a surf classic. "Surfer Joe" charted at #61 a few months later.
After thinking about calling this song "Stiletto" (with the sound of a switchblade knife opening the song), The Surfaris decided to crack a half-broken 2-by-4 over the microphone and call the song "Wipe Out." It was the group's producer/manager Dale Smallin who performed the famous Witch Laugh at the beginning of the song, which he added just for fun, as no one expected the song to be more than just a throwaway B-side.
""Wipe Out" charted again in 1966 when it was re-released, this time hitting #16.
