Description
THE CITATIONS – TAKE ME / PHANTOM FREIGHTER
University Records 101
Sudbury, Massachusetts – 1965
Original First & Only Pressing
Offered here is an authentic 1965 Massachusetts private-press garage rock 45 by The Citations, released on the tiny University Records imprint (33 Elaine Rd., Sudbury, Mass.).
This is the original pressing — there are no 1960s reissues, no later represses, and no master re-release. What you see here is the real artifact from the Massachusetts teen garage era.

This is an exceptionally clean surviving example of a scarce regional garage 45.
🎸 THE MUSIC
Raw, mid-60s Massachusetts teen garage rock.
“Take Me” delivers classic local fuzz-driven energy.
“Phantom Freighter” is the darker, more sought-after side among collectors of obscure U.S. 1965 garage.
Private New England pressings from this era were produced in very small quantities, and high-grade copies rarely surface.
