MISSING LINKS @@ "You’re drivin’ me insane" Hear it! B/w "Somethin else" @@ LABEL ORIGINAL PHILIPS BF-213 @@ "Legendary" is a much abused adjective in popular music, but there can few Aussie bands more deserving of the epithet than Sydney's The Missing Links. In 1965 the first single was released “You're Driving Me Insane” Hear it! a wild, piledriving original by Baden Hutchins, totally unique in Aussie rock in 1965, and still grabs you by the ears today. This song is HEAVY in every sense of the word. The fierce proto-punk vocal by Andy is outstanding, and when his shouted exhortation "Your radio's too low - turn it up!" cues into Doug Ford's blazing guitar solo, you know you're hearing one of the great rock moments. It's firmly rooted in blues and R&B, yet it predicts whole slabs of Sixties rock which were yet to come: the buzzing guitar feedback and echo-laden Farfisa organ anticipates Pink Floyd by a good two years; Doug Ford's slashing guitar work is pure heavy metal, and there's a strong psychedelic feel to the whole affair. The B-side Something Else is a fun, high-energy cover of the famous Eddie Cochrane classic. One can only speculate on the effect for the band if this incredible single had been given the exposure it truly deserved (only about 500 copies were pressed, and it sold to hard core fans only) - but was Australia really ready for it? @@ CONDITION (M,Ex,Vg,G) RECORD EX (A-side plays superb, check the mp3 but B-side VG) LABELS MINT

GUIDE TO GRADES USED

M - Record first - Looks virtually new, no marks, wear or damage the record looks unplayed and the sound is brilliant. Picture Sleeve second - Slight signs of wear on edges/spine, corners or ring wear. Minor creases. No damage caused by sticker removal/residue. Light sleeves may show slight discolouration due to age or handling. Remember the age of these records 30-40, I sell ORIGINALS no PEPROS, so NEW MINT doesn't exist to me, and MINT is not a BRAND NEW RECORD but is close after 30-40 years.                          
EX - Record first - May have minor paper scuffs caused by moving record in & out of paper sleeve. The sound May be occasional really soft pops/clicks and minimal surface noise over. Picture Sleeve second - Slight signs of wear on edges/spine, corners or ring wear. Minor creases. No damage caused by sticker removal/residue. Light sleeves may show slight discolouration due to age or handling.                                                         .
Vg - Record first - For this kind of records always I add a mp3 and you can check directly its quality, anyway the damage must be not really exaggerated. and must allow you to spin the record in a club. Some surface marks or hairline scratches. Moderate paper scuffs. The sound May be pops or clicks caused by marks or scratches, or could have moderate background surface noise or crackles. Picture Sleeve second - Cover Moderate edge/spine or ring wear. Corners may be a little blunt. Opening edge may show feathering caused by removal of record. Visible creases or laminate lift.                                                   

POSTAGE & PAYMENTS  All records will be sent in professional mailers designed to send records, wrapped in strong cardboard and the record will be removed from the sleeve to protect it during transit. Packages will be marked in red 'DO NOT BEND' and 'FRAGILE'.

From now I’ll use these new mailing rates at your own risk and If you want the parcel registered notice to me because is quite pretty expensive. £1 UK - £1.5 EU - £2.5 WORLD fares for just one single. I Prefer PAYPAL & International bank transfer for Eurozone bidders. But I accept CASH by registered mail at your own risk & WESTERN UNION
