TOM HARTMAN "Sunshine Woman" b/w "A Little More"
Original 1971 pr0m0 45 on the US BELL label
PLAYS VG+ with some scattered pops
Great super-catchy straight-ahead power pop cruncher here from ex-Aerovons frontman Tom Hartman, with added fuzz guitar and a definite proto-power pop Yellow Pills post-mod-freakbeat vibe - think Big Star or, a few years down the road, early Cheap Trick. Of course, back in 1971, Tom was probably more influenced by mid-60's Who or Stones, and his massive riff in "Sunshine Woman" shows that. Of course, if you knew the Aerovons, you'd know how fixated they were on the Beatles, even going so far as to wait until the chance to record at Abbey Road studios, and the flipside "A Little More" is much more in line with that. It's a stone cold Lennonesque classic, with John's minor key fix and a classic Fab Four melody. Somewhere between THE WHITE ALBUM and Badfinger, and on the good side of both. Man, this guy really knew his craft, didn't he?
HEAR IT!
UPDATE: SORRY, I NO LONGER SHIP TO ITALY DUE TO A CORRUPT POSTAL SYSTEM (THERE, NOT HERE).
(THE LESS EXCITING STUFF...)
First class shipping is $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping. Delivery confirmation included in the shipping costs. US International postal rates just shot up nearly double this past week, so please take note of the new rates. I don't make a profit on shipping costs - these are what the post office charges me. Air mail shipping to Canada starts at $10 US, each additional record $3 shipping. Air mail shipping everywhere else in the world starts at $13 US, with each additional record only $4 shipping.
I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it. Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves. But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING
Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package. I hate that too. So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s. And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums). I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job. But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…
I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return. All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction. Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong. You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed. If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
