This is an original and NOT a reproduction or reissue. Visually graded using Goldmine standards, the vinyl is near mint with beautiful shine and looks scarcely played if at all. The labels are clean and near perfect. Comes with a plain white sleeve. I package with protective sleeve in a 45 record mailer. Please look at my other auctions for more rare 45's. Lots more to post!! Don't miss out!!! Low starting bid and no reserve.
The original band, The Allusions, consisted of Dale Smith (vocals and rhythm guitar), Robert Payne (vocals and keyboards), Gary Lawson (vocals and lead guitar), Royce Hignight (drums), and Jay Gabbard (vocals and bass). Jay quit after about six months, and Royce wanted to play bass, so we added Garland Scarberry on drums. We played [throughout] southern Oklahoma and North Texas: high school proms, frat parties, etc., but the most money we made was throwing our own dances at the Hardy Murphy Coliseum in Ardmore.

The first recording we did as The Allusions was at KVOO radio station, in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1962 or 1963. We recorded "On Broadway," and two songs that Robert Payne and I wrote called, "You Better Think Twice" and "It'll Never Be The Same." These were never pressed, and all we had were the acetate copies.

The next session that we did was about six months [later] at Sumet Burnet Studios in Dallas with the legendary Bob Sullivan engineering. We rerecorded "You Better Think Twice" and "It'll Never Be The Same." We did get these pressed, and I think we sold about 1500 copies over the next few years. We gave away a bunch also.
