The Box - Dreams Second Hand 45 - killer UK mod freakbeat psych - German-only

The Box - Whole World / Dreams Second Hand

This is a gorgeous piece of paisley pop, and a real obcurity – and still uncomped!. The band seems to be from the UK, but the single was only made in Germany. This is their only release, and it pairs the fantastic upbeat pop psych rocker "Dreams Second Hand" with the dreamier "Whole World." As others have commented, "Dreams Second Hand" is a real winner, approaching the kind of proto-powerpop of The Who's early recordings. A truly great single!

Admiral AD 1103, Germany, 1969

Vinyl Condition: High VG+. Glossy with some light hairline scuffs.

I am a former record store ebay seller, and I've been collecting for 30 years. I know how to grade and ship records professionally. 

I grade conservatively under a very bright halogen lamp. Please check out the pictures, descriptions, and sound samples before you bid to get a better sense of item condition.

Sound samples are recorded directly from this record and are not edited in any way. What you hear is exactly what you will get.
