Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

The FIVE AMERICANS, five Oklahoma kids who blew the roof off the national charts when they moved to Dallas in 1966 and cut 5 top 40 HIT-smashes like "Westurn Union"," and "I See the Light" recorded plenty of swaggering garage material before and after their chart-topping days at Abnak Records.

THE FIVE AMERICANS scarce '68 "NOW & THEN" became their hardest to find LP, a THICK double album featuring their smash hits plus a whole lot more. If you could own just ONE Five Americans album, it's said, this is the one!
THE FIVE AMERICANS were the first to achieve what no other group in Texas had done in five short years... selling millions of singles and albums. Over the years the group still got together to play an occasional show. The 1968 double album called "Now and Then" was issued with most of the band's hit songs on it, however the masters to all their material were sold to Sundazed Music around 1985 without The Five Americans' knowledge and the band unfairly received no royalties from the sales (!)
"Westurn Union" still gets air play on oldies radio on average of 5000 times per month in the U.S. and Canada, and as of January of 1998, "Westurn Union" achieved the one million mark in air play according to BMI, Broadcast Music INC.
