-Artist / Group: Guess Who

-Mini bio: Canadian rock group formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada: Allan "Chad Allan" Kobel (vocals, guitar), Randy Bachman (lead guitar), Bob Ashley (piano), Jim Kale (bass) and Garry Peterson (drums). Recorded as The Reflections, and Chad Allan & The Expressions. Ashley replaced by new lead singer Burton Cummings in 1966. Allan left shortly thereafter. Bachman left in 1970 to form Bachman-Turner Overdrive; replaced by Kurt Winter and Greg Leskiw (guitars). Leskiw and Kale left in 1972, replaced by Don McDougall (guitar) and Bill Wallace (bass). Domenic Troiano (guitar; The James Gang) replaced both Winter and McDougall in 1973. Group disbanded in 1975; several reunions since then. Winter died on Dec. 14, 1997, age 51.

-The Guess Who's first charted single was their cover of the Johnny Kidd garage-rock classic, Shakin' All Over (1965) followed by Hey Ho What You Do To Me (1965). There was a hiatus of of four years, then they hit it big with These Eyes (1969), Laughing (1969), No Time (1969) followed by their biggest single American Woman (1970).

-Guess Who would not reach #1 again after their release of American Woman but did release a number of singles which reached Billboard's Top Pop Singles charts including Hand Me Down World (1970), Share The Land (1970), Albert Flasher (1971), Rain Dance (1971), Heartbroken Bopper (1972), Star Baby (1974) Clap For The Wolfman (1974), Dancin' Fool (1974), Rosanne (1975 and lastly When The Band Was Singin' "Shakin' All Over" (1975).

-Guess Who released several singles which although charted in Canada failed to enter Billboard's Top 100 Singles charts and are rarer than those which charted on Billboard. Some of those are: Bus Rider (1970), Do You Miss Me Darlin' (1971), Orly (1973) and Silver Bird (1976).

-In 1978 a new Guess Who Line-up released three singles which were C'mon Little Mama (Aquarius AQ 5072, 1978), Sweet Young Thing (Aquarius AQ 5075, 1978) and Sharin' Love (Aquarius AQ 5081,1979).

The above line-up comprised of Jim Kale (bass, the only original 1960's member), Kurt Winter (guitar, song writer since 1970, died in 1997, age 51), Donnie McDougal (guitar, since 1972), Vance Masters (drums, vocals) and David Inglis (guitar).

In 1979 Kurt Winter left the group to be replaced by Ralph Watts (guitar, who plays on Sharin' Love).

Record grading:

(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!

(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.

(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.

(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.

(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.

(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularily rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwhelming.
