Private Garage LP - UNIQUE SOUNDS OF THE REFLECTIONS - Acid Archives

$

350

Here is a rare LP that doesn't surface too often titled The Unique Sounds of The Reflections on RSVP MC1371. It's a super cool Garage Lounge Act LP out of Slidell, Louisiana. The Reflections consisted of a 13 year old drummer (Harold Collins) and an older woman (Allis Murray) who plays trumpet, guitar, and organ all at once to simulate the sound of a full group! According the Companion Records website, this LP was recorded in the living room of the drummer's parents' house in only one take. In fact, Companion Records re-released this LP as a CD-R recently as 'Original vinyl copies are virtually non-existent'. There is a good mix of cover songs and originals on this LP, please see the pictures for track listing. The album was reviewed quite favorably on Acid Archives a few years back and it definitely holds high marks from collectors of the genre. As far as condition goes, this LP is in great shape. The cover grades VG+ with signs of only light wear and no splits or writing. Labels are clean with only light spindle marks. The vinyl plays grades VG++ on side 1 and VG+ on side 2. This is a very nice copy. Please visit the Companion Records website to hear a few soundclips from the album. Please see my other auctions.

Grading Scale:

NM = A near perfect record in every way. Record shows no obvious signs of wear.

VG++ = Somewhere between VG+ and Near Mint.

VG+ = Record has been played, but previous owner took good care of it. Record will have light scuffs or light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. VERY little to no background/surface noise will be heard while the record is playing.

VG = Light to moderate Background/surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's fade and intro. This background noise will not overpower the music otherwise, however. Groove wear and light scratches (deep enough to affect sound) will be noticeable. Still a nice record.

VG- = Somewhere between VG and G+.

G/G+ = Significant surface noise upon playing. Scratches and visible groove wear will be evident. Record will play through without skipping or sticking however.

Fair/Poor = I do not ever sell records at this grade, but they would be cracked, severly warped, with skips or sticks, or have obvious signs of HEAVY play. Basically it will serve better as a coaster than a record.

I grade strictly by Goldmine's standards. Please ask questions before you bid. I accept Pay Pal or M.O.
