Description

THE D-COYS “Bad Times” RARE 1966 Aussie 7” wild garage freakbeat mod punk

 

The D-Coys – Bad Times 7” (orig. Australia Columbia MONO DO-4712)

Release date: August 1966.

 

On offer here is an ULTRA RARE original issue of the third (and final) 7” single by Adelaide-based group, THE D-COYS.  The killer A-side “Bad Times” is a cover version of the 1964 single by British group, THE ROULETTES, whilst the equally impressive flipside “You’re Against” is an original protest song of misunderstood youth.  Both sides of this 45 are two of the FINEST AUSSIE 1960’s GARAGE/FREAKBEAT/PUNK TRACKS EVER COMMITTED TO VINYL!  Be sure to check out the YouTube links below.

GRADING (also refer photos)

Record:

visual: retains excellent lustre despite numerous superficial hairlines, few light surface scuffs, one light scratch across side 1 which DOES NOT affect play (side 1: VG(-), side 2: VG(+)) (seen under strong light).

audible: VG++ sounds superb despite some underlying surface noise.  DEFINITELY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS - A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

labels: light spindle wear.

sleeve: original generic “Columbia” sleeve.
