- Don't You Even Want To Know was written by band member Bob Edwards and is a fast-tempo psych-pop rocker with terrific strummed guitar, driving bass and drums with melodic lead vocals from the unidentified lead vocalist with guitar chords melody similar to the T Bones 1966 instrumental No Matter What Shape.

All records are strictly graded and come with a 100% money back guarantee. All records are original, first pressings unless otherwise noted. If the record is an LP, EP or has a picture sleeve, the record is graded first, followed by the cover or sleeve.
Grading is based on the following criteria
Mint = store stock new
Mint- = near new with only one or two small insignificant defects
VG++ = extremely nice. Would be Mint-, except for a couple of light scratches or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still sounds OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Payment by PAY PAL PREFERRED. WILL ALSO ACCEPT Bank Draft / Cashier's Check, Cheque (from within the USA & Canada ONLY - Order held until funds clear, 1-4 weeks approx.)
