It's Orlyn-Time again! Super rare Michigan MOODINESS on this sixties gem. This is a legendary disc, from which LESS THAT 12 COPIES are rumored to exist. The A side has been comped on "Let Em Have It#1", but, as later will be pointed out, in very bad sound. The flipside remains uncomped to this day. If you don't have the comp with you, check out what the guys from the G45 List say:

Very understated, very original. A beautiful moody garage punker indeed with it's legend assured by virtue of it's appearance on the super-collectable Orlyn label out of Illinois. This has clean guitar lines, graceful swooping bass runs and tuneful harmonies. As well as the essential "moody" ingredient of mysterious organ chords mixed way back. If the group wasn't called the Bondsmen, we'd swear those were female backing vocals. Obviously not, just a very young teenage band. With awesome talent. Hear it on the (sorry whoever put this out) disastrously poor sound quality compilation "Let 'Em Have It" Vol. 1. Rest assured the original pressing sounds a lot better than what you will hear on this comp. Like most Orlyns, ultra rare and probably limited to less than a dozen copies in collections. A nice copy appeared recently on eBay and went for a very reasonable price. The flip is a decent reading of the Curtis Mayfield classic.

The "reasonable price" was about 665$, just to spoil this figure. Some more info:
When I bought this record, it was sold to me as <vg>. Since I grade very conservatively, I'd say it's <weak vg> to <strong vg->. Labels show some wear. My scanner is very bad, so the scans look a bit worse than the real thing. Also, the label color is more blue-ish in reality.
Item location is in Germany. I will ship with highest safety, however the buyer wishes. I do not make bucks out of postage.
Please email with questions.
Please check out my other stuff as well. I also sport THE TRAVELERS on the very scarce FLEETWOOD label and more sixties garage stuff
