Description
Trivial guff...merely to explain where some of the more unusual things I'm listing might've come from:
From 1974-1978 I managed an indie/alternative record store here in Sydney (known firstly as Ripple then Revolver Records)...along with the expected, we sold the most obscure imported stuff - from all the still-available 60's and 70's prog 'n' psych stuff, 60's garage/surf/soul, 70's power-pop, plus we dived head-on into the early punk scene importing all the classic 7"s from the US and UK scenes...then we also specialized in Krautrock imports from Germany (virtually all of which were still available at that time), and the latest reggae releases straight from Jamaica (we had thee coolest suppliers!)...in 1978/79, I lived in the UK & USA - my job description in the U.S. was simply: to buy second-hand vinyl goodies in any of the above categories, with unlimited funds at my disposal (I doubt there's ever been a better job!...anywhere...ever) - to send back to Australia...then had my own record store in Sydney (with my great mate and business partner, Dare)...from 1979-1998...that was Phantom Records (we had a record label then as well - started purely coz, apart from the fact both our girlfriends were lead singers in bands that no major label was interested in, so were lots of our friends - I'd also roadied then managed Radio Birdman in 1975/'76, so was part of that camp - so our connections were good! - the label worked well for a while.
Anyway, what I'm really getting at, is that I amassed a massive collection (of mostly first pressings and originals) over all those years and scenarios, and looked after it pretty well (while all the while gently thrashing the hell outta them of course). But many I had 2 copies of and will be close to mint. So...I'm selling some.
(They're not all unusual or hideously rare...quite obviously...but there's some cool stuff amongst it all.)
Here's one of the items from the above booty:
The SHAKE SHAKES
"YOU CAN RUN" b/w "WHO'S GOT MY BABY?"
...original 1979 USA 7"...on Notown Records...(has no catalogue number...nor even a matrix number)...in pic sleeve...original first pressing with handwritten date and publishing 'notation' on the labels...(bought this on recommendation from Mike Z. who owned the Zed Records store down in Long Beach - I used to buy a tonne of cool stuff from him...they were my local store while I lived there)...
California band (not sure what town)...the first of their two singles...Goldmine Magazine stated this as one of the Top 25 Essential indie power-pop 45's ever made. Also, in the John M. Borack book "Shake Some Action - The Ultimate Guide To Power Pop", this is listed in the Top 30 U.S. Indie Power-Pop 45's.
'A' side is the gem here - 10 outta 10 power-pop brilliance!!...'B' side's totally different...very Cramps-ish...excellent in it's own right!...but not power-pop.
CONDITION:
COVER: ( EX- )...beautiful!...has some very minor crinkling on the top edge...and a small 'dent' in the middle...
VINYL: ( M- )...almost as shiny and clean and pristine as the day it was pressed...beautiful copy!...
LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: MINT )...
If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).Thanks for considering this item...Cheers, Jules.
