Tweeds
We Ran (Ourselves) / Away From You
Autobahn A-17 (1977)

One of the rarest Boston items, this first Tweeds 45 is barely known to exist. Word has it the band leader literally tossed the bulk of the pressing in the garbage, and besides a handful of copies which were given to a local producer/collector, there are hardly any out there in circulation. I have never spotted one in a New England store or record show in 20+ years. Musically, this is a two-sider of excellent early '70s Kinks styled pop/psych/powerpop. The future remakes of these songs on subsequent records are drastically different and, frankly, incredibly bad. This 45 is where it's at! Never issued in picture sleeve.

GRADING
Grading Scale: M, M-, EX, VG+, VG, VG-, G
M (mint) is reserved for unplayed, flawless stock copies. M- (mint minus) is the highest grade for a record in beautiful shape. EX (excellent) means there's a minor flaw on the sleeve (small crease, price sticker) or disc (fingerprint, harmless scratch). VG+ (very good plus) means a sleeve has minor shop wear — is creased and/or shows a ring impression, and the disc shows cosmetic signs of handling. VG (very good) means not for the anal-retentive. The sleeve shows multiple flaws (sticker tear, seam split, ring wear, rumpled top) and the disc has surface noise (no skips or thunderous pops) and multiple small scratches. VG- (very good minus) means the sleeve is "well loved" with numerous flaws while the vinyl is exhibits many flaws and is noisy. G (good) means the sleeve contains major flaws such as large tears, heavy staining, etc., while the vinyl is beat but playable with no skips.
