THE GIBSONS
COME SUMMERTIME / A SUMMER AFFAIR
CBS 202063
1966
Click HERE and listen to our soundclip / mp3 of both sides
Elusive, UK-only release by a cult vocal group from Australia also known as The Cicadas ;) Their sound has all the jangle of mid '60s mod freakbeat but also west coast sunshine pop influences. Both sides feature accomplished musicianship and sophisticated vocals. Tom Springfield gave them "Come Summertime" so expect something breezy and carefree with counterpoint harmony. Same vibe with a hint of The Beach Boys mixed into mellow garage psychedelia on "A Summer Affair" Great For DJs! Disc cut loud with big production sound. Seldom comes up for sale. Original 4-prong centre intact
Our record grading: SEALED / M- / VG++ / VG+ / VG
RECORD - shiny, strong VG++ (closer to M-) regardless of some faint hairlines from storage / disc cut loud with big production sound / some natural light background noises / original 4-prong centre intact
SLEEVE - not graded - original CBS UK company sleeve has general wear / item from the archive of an important record label who had offices in Milan, hence the archive stickers and pen notation, front and back
LABEL - 'x' notation to one side / some natural age discoloration / a few faint old dirt marks from storage
After a 2 year gap, Pourquoi Moi Vintage is back :)
For the moment, our auctions will focus mostly on original 7inch delights from '50s doo wop to '80s synth pop so expect to see:
northern soul / popcorn / new breed / exotica / funk / rare groove / ost / bossa / disco / jazz / latin / french pop / psych / garage / sunshine pop / rock / prog / aor / easyglide / rockabilly / oldies / rock 'n' roll / surf / blues / folk / ethnic / reggae / dub / experimental / ambient / dance / electronic / punk / wave / indie / power pop / metal / glam / weird / outsider / spoken word / private press / novelty
