This auction is for the following, original LP. The Cornells – Beach Bound ( Beachbound) issued by the label Garex Records – LP - GA100 (GA 100) made in 1963. I really hesitate to grade a record but I will do my best - I have probably sold about 20-30 records over the past 10 years on eBay and have never had an issue and they were all scarce records. I understand condition is everything and some of my pics are useless. I believe the sleeve is Good and the record is VG minus to VG. The sleeve has edge rubbing with very upper left edge a bit more rubbed, tips have rubbing, lower left edge front paper cracked but I don't think the seam is split. Rear of cover has rubbing and blue ink check upper left and black scribble below Beach. There was no original paper inner sleeve - just a ABC Paramount sleeve. The record has light handling and has been obviously played but not a disaster. The only mark that I could feel is a scratch that runs halfway into the first track , first side - so when played that is a tick for half of song. I was pleasantly surprised at how the lp sounds - it sounded really clean to me and this record has never been cleaned. 2nd side has a visible scratch to songs 5 and 6 (I tried to show this in auction pics) but you can not feel it and when played I could barely detect it - on 3rd song of 2nd side there is another very light tick. In raking light the lp (both sides) looks handled with light surface lines and/or smudge but it plays way cleaner than it looks. So when I read Goldmines grading this lp is a VG no problem. Because it has a nice sheen and sounds so good - if it weren't for the tick on the 1st song I would think this would be a VG+? I will pack it well.

The Cornells were a 1960s Los Angeles band that played mostly surf music. Four of the five members had a parent that was a well known celebrity. The band appeared on the show I've Got A Secret in 1963 with the secret "We're all the sons of Hollywood Celebrities". They played Caravan live on the show. According to Richie Unterberger,"Whatever interest this L. A. surf combo generates stems from the fact that future Moby Grape guitarist Peter Lewis was a member. Lewis was the only member destined to make a mark on rock history." Members Peter Lewis, lead guitar; is the son of Loretta Young and screenwriter Tom Lewis. He was later a member of Moby Grape, and subsequently developed a career as a solo artist, which continues to this day. Bob Linkletter, rhythm guitar; son of Art Linkletter Jim O'Keefe, saxophone; son of Dennis O'Keefe, a famous All-American footballer and 40s & 50s movie leading man Charlie Correll, drums; son of Charlie Correll, who portrayed Andy on the Amos and Andy radio program Tom Crumplar, bass; The only member without a famous parent
