THE OTHER HALF  

“Overdue To Do It” b/w “I Want TO Touch You” 

USA (city and state are unclear) - 1977 - Showtime Records

I’m unable to find any info about this release thru my research.  I haven’t found any old eBay listings thru Popsike or Roots Vinyl Guide and have had no luck locating any mention of the exact record label, the band or the producer Pat Patton.  The were a handful of late 60s garage bands by this name but they don’t fit the bill.  There was also an Ohio Hard Rock band with this name a few years after this release but they do not sound similar and the vocals are from the same singer as this release.  

The only clue I have is that I purchased this from a garage sale held by an older Hasidic jewish woman who told me that she grew up right by CBGB in the 70s and spent a lot of time there in her teens.  I purchased two other 45s from which were by the group Pins (made up of member NYC punk group The Miamis) and Reveleons which was released by Ork records.  So I would wager this is NYC band and could possibly has ties to the CBGB scene of the mid to late 70s.

But beyond is rareness, both tracks are killer prog-ish power pop that have a unique sound and are very very catchy.

Media: VG+ (The media is a strong glossy VG+.  Some very light scuffs and the occasional mild pop.  The last third of the b-side has a light scratch that causes an inconsistent, occasional popWriting on both sides of the label)

About Me

I might be a new seller on ebay but I'm not new to record selling and collecting.  I have worked at record stores, have sold at record shows and I have sold on and off on Discogs since it's beginning.  I've always wanted to join the ebay marketplace but was afraid of starting out as a new seller.  I finally decided to stop worrying and start listing. 

Grading, Shipping and Returns

I try to grade conservatively and I adapt this conservative approach to Goldmine Standards but I do use EX and VG- when needed because I feel Goldmine grading is not descriptive enough compared to any other grading system and not always descriptive enough.  NM looks an sounds like a mint album while EX would look like a mint or near mint album with maybe one superficial mark or light scuff/hairline that does not affect play.  I also try to provide well-recorded audio samples of the exact item for sale.  You can hear the grade before buying but I promise you won't be disappointed.

When shipping, I use new professional LP or 45 mailers along with sturdy inserts.  Every item will come in a clear plastic outer sleeve, the media will be removed from the sleeve and any included inner sleeve and placed into a new white inner sleeve to prevent seam splits. 

I accept returns up to 30  days and to put any fears of a new seller to bed, I will pay for return shipping. If you have any questions or concerns, message me and I will respond promptly.
