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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. Please keep in mind 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 and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI 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; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

RARE MONO
1967 STILL FACTORY SEALED
"PERFECT"
THE RAINY DAZE
ACAPULCO GOLD
...USA - UNI RECORDS - MONO - 3002
STILL SEALED = NEVER OPENED in 44 YEARS...a perfect copy !
Original 1967 first pressing in RARE but equally glorious MONO which takes the production into a suitable thick punchy groove...different from the stereo issue...
A great pop-punk-psychedelic outfit from Denver, Colorado. Only the first 45 appears on their album which is recommended. They first formed in the Colorado area of the mid sixties when they specialised in playing GARAGE beat and R&B and they were a regular attraction at local frat parties. Almost unbelievably they were unearthed by Phil Spector who signed them to a management contract and a giant publicity campaign was planned but never really materialised.
For an album that was basically an afterthought, this is a strong, even if disjointed, effort. UNI Records picked up the group's first single, the catchy 'stoned' vaudevillian "That Acupulco Gold", written by group member Tim Gilbert and his songwriting partner John Carter, for national distribution, and quickly assembled an LP by the same name. The single reached #70 before radio programmers figured out the drug (high grade marijuana) reference, and the album became UNI's second LP release on their label.
The album is a mix of cool 60's teen garage-punk ("Absurd Bird", "Weatherman", "Discount City"), Buffalo Springfield nugget ("For What It's Worth"), and a gently psychedelicized version of "Baby I Need Your Lovin'"), and an essential psych nugget ("In My Mind Lives A Forest", and the orient-tinged "Snow and Ice and Burning Sand") ...all said, the selection almost guarantees that the listener will find the album worthwhile...
