THE REMAINS s/t Rare Original 1966 mono Garage Punk Psych lp!

1966/USA/Epic Records LN-24214…..here’s a gorgeous original Mono pressing of this garage punk classic. The cover is clean and solid, the front has little shelf wear, the corners have light wear and the bottom corners have a crease, the lower seam shows some spotty light wear, the white back shows light aging/foxing, otherwise the cover is solid and clean with no splits or delete. I would grade the vinyl as strong Excellent condition with a handful of super light inaudible sleeve scuffs on each side and one very very light inaudible hairline scuff across one side. The record retains it’s full gloss and hasn’t been played much. The record plays clean with light noise at cue and between some tracks. The fidelity is clean and crisp! And the music is TOP notch all the way! There is writing on one label and a name printed on the inside of the opening on the cover. This is a great copy of this rare lp! Please check my listings for other rock and psych lp’s. Good luck and thanks for looking!

Most 1960s garage rock obsessives collect singles rather than albums for a good reason: While plenty of snarling teenagers could come up with two decent songs at a stretch, a precious few seemed able to brainstorm a dozen tunes without reaching to the bottom of the barrel or resorting to covers of other people's hits. But there were exceptions to this rule, among them the Sonics, the Litter, and, especially, the Remains, who never enjoyed much success on the national charts but were fabled heroes in their home town of Boston. the Remains' 1966 album for Epic is a classic, packed with great songs from singer/guitarist Barry Tashian, bassist Vern Miller, and pianist Bill Briggs, and boasting exciting, fiery performances, and if the full firepower of their legendary live shows didn't always come through on tape, even the album's weakest moments made clear the Remains were tougher, smarter, and tighter than the vast majority of their competition. The Remains is mid-'60s American rock & roll at it's best, and you don't have to own any paisley clothing to enjoy it.

GRADING

MINT: I consider New Unplayed or Sealed items only.

M- or Mint Minus, very clean with clean visual appearance and sound, there may be a couple of light inaudible hairline scuffs or such and will be mentioned in the listing, a Mint- record looks and plays very clean. Same for the cover. Very clean with no delete or other issues.

EXCELLENT: still very collectable for most, visually and sonicly clean. A handful of light inaudible scuffs, or hairlines. Cover will be clean with little wear, or delete. No splits.

VG++ still a very nice copy with minimal wear, the vinyl will retain it's original gloss and can have some minor scuffs/scratches that don't affect play very much. Cover will have slight shelf wear, and or delete, minor split.

VG+ the vinyl will still retain much original gloss with a bit more scuffs and/or scratches I may list a very rare or desirable item with a lower grade, I will try to list all defects.
