Nothing in the annals of popular music – and certainly nothing in the girl-group genre - approaches the title track of this monstrously rare album in terms of sheer mystery and mystique. Released in September 1963, the title track has been a subject of heated debate, speculation and controversy ever since. Any number of theories has been thrown around as to what the song’s lyrics actually mean, ranging from the mental breakdown of the young girl abandoned by her boyfriend, to a case of paranoia/schizophrenia, to lesbian love affair, to suicide, homicide or both. You name it, we’ve heard it. To compound the song’s mystique and controversy, the ethereal, somewhat otherworldly and ambiguous girl-group choir (which lacks clear lead vocal and sounds like something from a twilight zone) and the distant, hypnotic arrangement, only add fuel to the fire. Despite its enduring mystery – or perhaps precisely because of it – the song has been a target of numerous cover attempts by other – mostly white and psychedelic – artists, from Grace Slick and the Great Society, to Tim Buckley, Judy Collins, Pentangle, Question Mark and the Mysterians, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels and others. A true classic!

***

A rare album that sells for at least a C-note if you can find a copy. The haunting title track, its successor "Keep an Eye on Her," and "Dear Abby" are the centerpieces. "Abby," credited to the Hearts, is a strange but effective innocent teen number that got it share of spins; the Hearts seek the advice of columnist Dear Abby and threaten to go outside and eat worms if their hearts aren't soothed. The Jaynettes sang on the Hearts' recordings and vice versa. Producer Abner Specter used whoever to achieve that sound, and singers like Baby Washington constantly dropped by. Also decent are "Seesaw," "One Track Mind," "Pick up My Marbles," and "Archie's Melody." There's also a popular instrumental of "Sally"; Spector hated wasting good cuts as B-sides so he used instrumentals and captioned them: "Sing Along Without the Jaynettes" or "Sing Along Without the Hearts," a very popular concept back in the day.

·       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)             Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

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

·       COVER

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

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Back cover has some light yellowish stains along the edges of the paper slick, probably from excessive glue used to affix paper slick to the back panel

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2 (front side) and 4 (back side)

-         Back cover has circular tarnish (grayish, dust-covered sections, which closely follow the contour of the record), probably caused by friction or by rubbing against other covers during the storage. The tarnish is similar in appearance to a common ring wear, but, UNLIKE ring wear, these grayish areas may be possible to clean up with a minor effort and with a right cleansing solution.

-         Cover shows some yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-         No split seams

-         No cut-out (drill) holes.

-         No cut-out corners

-         No saw-marks or indents

-         No wrinkles or creases

-         No writing

-         No stamps

-         No tearing: no chips, dents or nicks on the seams

-         No peel-off marks

-         No stickers or labels

-         No water damage

-         No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or cuts.

-         No warping

-         No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover
