Vol.2 was an EP called Hawthorne Hotshots.. Vol.3 was called: The Definitive Honeys Vol.III. It was a box set. The cover on it was their one and only picture sleeve. Inside was the lone LP, a poster of a fake concert with The Honeys, The 4 Speeds and The Beach Boys at some high school in California. Also included was a booklet with a brief history of The Honeys and some info on the songs on the LP.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           The album comes with its original POSTER  included

(d)          The album comes with its original BOOKLET included

(e)           The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(f)            Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER  (1/2-INCH THICK BOX)

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD+++.

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has a few minor wrinkles (bubbles in paper slick) on the front panel

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the seams (nothing significant)

-         The box has some minor, negligible fraying/wear along the top edge of the paper slick on front side

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on front side, apparently from aging.

-        No split seams

-        No ring wear

-        No cut-out (drill) holes.

-        No cut-out corners

-        No saw-marks or indents

-        No dirt/dust rubbing stains (friction marks caused by rubbing against other covers)
