Description
Calling all 1960s girl-group collectors, Brill Building pop enthusiasts, and vinyl variant historians! Up for sale is an exceptional, true first-pressing Stereo copy of The Angels' definitive 1963 studio album, "My Boyfriend's Back" (Smash Records, SRS 67039 / STS 67039).
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of early 1960s pop royalty. While most copies found in the wild are standard mono pressings, this is the highly sought-after true high-fidelity Stereo mix—manufactured in far lower quantities at the dawn of the girl-group era.
