Description
THE ROCKING BROTHERS - ROCK IT / BEHIND THE SUN [R&B 1309]
Label: R and B 1309
Titles: "Rock It" & "Behind The Sun" Year: 1955
As instrumentals by Victor Hugo & Perez Prado were taking over the charts with contemporary instrumentals, artists like Link Wray and The Rocking Brothers were experimenting with a darker, more rock based instrumental. This 50's rock instrumental was an early contribution to the sound that would go on to be defined as surf rock. The record is a unique blend of soul, exotica and rock. Perhaps also indicative to early garage rock. Eventually the duo would move from the independent R and B label to the more nationally recognized Imperial label. Imperial did release "Rock It" as a single on their label in 1955 as well.
The label has very minimal label wear. There are no stickers or writing on either side. The vinyl has typical signs of playwear, but nothing that impacts play. You can listen to the actual record here.

*Please note - my turntable is a simple ION Profile LP simply for converting media. It is by no means a high end turntable and the sound quality will be MUCH better on a higher end turn table.
All records come with basic sleeves unless a factory or picture sleeve is indicated in the description. I do not use a grading system as I feel that everyone interprets it differently. For example, I see many records listed as being Near Mint, yet the label is torn or has writing on it. To me that is not near mint. I prefer to describe the record as best I can, post photos, and allow viewers to listen to the actual record as to determine for themselves how the record should be graded.
I ship using Media Mail at $3.00 and deliver the day of or after the payment is received. Please remember that shipping costs also include the cost of materials to ship the order. International shipping is available. The cost to ship this Internationally is $14.00. I will also combine shipping. I try to keep shipping costs as low as possible, however recent increases by USPS have affected what I charge to ship - and believe me, I am NOT happy about it.
I am happy to ship internationally, however I will not change the value of the record. There are many reasons for this. First, I enjoy selling records and do not want to jeopardize that. Second, I include a receipt with the order and if customs were to examine the package, they would see the difference. Third, if something were to happen to the item in shipping, I would refund the customers money, but then not be able to claim what was lost. Thanks you for understanding.
