Self-Titled
VG++/VG++
US 1968
Senate Records - S-21002
Technically this band was formed in Covington, Kentucky just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. It starred teenage sensation Vicki Spencer who was featured in several teen flicks when the twist was big. She formed this band with her brothers who initially called themselves The Rottin' Kids. They were a featured band on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
The band was sponsored by Hazel Bishop, a cosmetics icon who was developing a Fake Nails business, but it never took. The band retitled themselves as The Fabulous Fakes for the project.
They became The Bubble Gum Machine and put out one LP. But there was a lot of non-information on the album, leading the public into thinking that this was a studio only production and a "fake" band.
Another rumor tabbed them as a band that toured Vietnam as entertainment for the troops and that they were killed enroute to a show. Untrue. They renamed again as Horatio and toured all over the states for the next 3 years.
Read their full story in the book I wrote, The Psychedelic Digest.
Musically a flower pop rock band with harmonies. "No Love To Be Found" is the only written song that was credited to the band with echoes and mysterious psych effects.
This was their only LP.
Cover has some slight edge, shelf and corner wear. Record has some minor visual sleeve and age marks that DNAP and plays almost EX. Generic inner sleeve.
I was Ina-Gadda-Da-Records.
Long time buyer from E-bay and other record websites since the 90's.
Please bear with me. I'm selling off my entire record collection (about 40,000 LPs) listing them one at a time.
A long and arduous task. Lots of gems and rare stuff.
Check out The Psychedelic Digest.
Auctions are listed for 7 days.
All records are conservatively Graded to GOLDMINE Standards and are rated VINYL FIRST / THEN COVER. For double LPs Vinyl / Vinyl / Cover. I will visually grade both sides of vinyl and play grade if I see unusual flaws. Covers will be visually graded. Plenty of pictures for any records that are high end items.
LPs will be packaged in the proper corrugated cardboard box, we all know about, with extra cardboard pads. Each LP will have a clear plastic sleeve. The record itself will be removed and shipped within the sleeve separate from the cover to prevent any seam splits. The vinyl record will NOT be removed from a sealed LP purchase for shipping.
Payment is due within 7 days unless you let me know. If payment has NOT been received within the 7-day payment period and you have NOT contacted me, the record will be relisted.
I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE, BUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS DETERMINED BY THE WEIGHT OF THE PACKAGE. DO NOT MAKE PAYMENT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE.
If you have won an auction and see another item that ends beyond the 7-day maximum payment period, let me know and I will hold your item until that bid period ends. This would be a special circumstance that would not extend beyond 10 days. I will invoice you for the full amount and expect payment at that point.
Typically, USA Media mail would be 1-2 LPs- $5.00 USD. Canada $23.00 USD. Europe around $30.00 USD for 1-2 LPs. Additional LPs as per total weight. I will send an invoice with total postage cost.
I can combine the shipping but will only send a maximum of 10 records per package. Additional postage will be determined by total weight of the package. An invoice will be sent to you.

I will Refund for any item purchased and received that was not fully as described. Grading is the usual cause of concern here. We're talking used and 30-50 years old. There are no perfect records, even sealed records can have flaws. If there is a concern, please contact me.
