The Gants – Gants Again – Garage Rock-Beat Vinyl LP – Mono

This Mississippi group formed in 1964 and were wildly popular in their home state.  Their fortunes changed dramatically when they were seen and heard by the tour manager for the Animals and asked to be the lead act for the group’s 1965 Florida tour.  That led to a recording contract and a top 50 Billboard hit, their cover of “Roadrunner”.  Unfortunately, the group’s biggest challenge was their age.  Two of the members were still in high school and the other two in college, so practicing as well as committing to live performances was very challenging.  The group released two more albums, but because they could only perform so sporadically, they eventually disbanded.  This was the last of their three albums, and it remains a garage rock cult classic that consists of a great combination of both cover and originals.  The album was released on Liberty in 1966, number LRP-3473.  This is the original mono release of the album.  The vinyl is in absolutely beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light paper scuffs that do not impact play.  It plays with almost no background noise.  The vinyl grades a strong VG+.  The album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear including a three inch split on the open side of the top seam.  The other seams are sharp, tight, and intact.  The original Liberty inner sleeve is included.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $22 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
