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. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 20,000 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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

PLAYS CLEAN !
Original 1966 U.S.A. first pressing in bold MONO ...the mono format contains a bold beefy punch that suits the overall sound of the music within so greatly....
This is a very surprising 1st LP by Chicago's BUCKINGHAMS and sounds nothing like the hits machine they became, rather a high energy teen scene garage-rock crew who lay out a impressive 2 full sides that caps off with their massive original "Kind Of A Drag" which put them on the road to fame & fortune...
The Buckinghams first LP is unlike anything they would ever record again. Sure, the title track was a killer top 10 smash but the rest of the LP is given over to garage, blue-eyed soul, blues, and British Invasion influenced raw rock. It’s all good too, sung beautifully and played very tightly. You’ll be surprised when you put this gem on the turntable, if only for the two masterful garage punkers from the group’s USA tenure, “Don’t Want To Cry” and “I’ve Been Wrong.” These two tracks alone make Kind of a Drag worth a purchase.
“Sweets For My Sweet” is also given a nice garage pop reading with it’s raw guitar work and smooth organ sounds.
Other standouts: the garage pop of “Makin’ Up & Breakin’ Up,” a superb blue-eyed soul song titled “Love Ain’t Enough” and “Beginners’ Love,” great Beatles inspired rock n roll. Even the album’s “Virginia Wolf,” is skillfully performed, in fact the whole album is very engaging, lacking any weak spots or noticeable mistakes. There’s lots of energy, thought and professionalism put into this music – these guys must have been one hell of a club band back in the day. The youthful energy in the playing and the Buckingham’s willingness to tackle different musical genres is what makes this LP so exciting – a must if you’re into garage-rock. The Yardbirds, the Kinks, and the Who were strong influences on the early Buckinghams as they had yet to fall into the radio pop-perfection hit-making trap that was to come.
