MASCOTS -Your Mascots EX German 1st Press Mono Decca LK 4704 on Maroon Label with BONUS Ellpee by the Mascots 1st Press Stereo Decca SKL 4806

The Mascots were a very cool Swedish Beat Group from the sixties.  "Your Mascots" is their first lp and includes a rare Lennon-McCartney song "Tip of My Tongue".  In fact, the Mascots backed the Beatles when they came to Sweden.  The pressing is very heavy at around 150 Grams and has full sound.

As a bonus, I have included a copy of The Mascots album Ellpee.  This record is also very charming, but is only in VG Minus condition.  It still plays decently, but does have surface noise.
