WOOLLY FISH "The Way You Like It" b/w "The Sound Of Thick"
Original 1970 pr0m0 45 on the UK PLEXIUM label
Vinyl plays VG++ to EXCELLENT
Hideously RARE one-off British single and gen-yoo-wine FUZZ festival from 1970 by Woolly Fish, which, you gotta admit, is one hell of a great band name. If this is the first time you’re hearing of Woolly Fish, you’re not alone. This is their only recorded offering, and it’s so bloody rare (on the tiny Plexium label), which is probably due to the fact that it was marketed to “all members of the grocery sales force” instead of, you know, DJs and radio stations and stuff. That’s because it’s actually an expanded interpretation of the theme to an Ideal Milk commercial, although I’d LOVE to see the ad that went along with these two monster fuzz-o-rama freakouts, that’s for sure. Especially around the two minute mark of “The Way You Like It,” when the fuzz guitar goes especially bonkers, in a groovy freakout spasmodic groove kinda way – what could they possibly be showing on the telly then? Some housewife from Leeds washing down an acid tab with a tall glass of milk? Flipside “The Sound of Thick” is slightly subdued in comparison, sounding at times like the coolest soundtrack theme to a Swinging London psychedelic film with random fuzz blasts thrown in for good measure. Needless to say, neither of these ultra groovy swinging go-go fuzz blasts have been compiled yet, and this is the only copy of this single I’ve ever seen. Comes complete with original “internal memorandum” addressed to the grocery store managers promising (optimistically) that the single is “not in the charts yet – but it was played in Alan Freeman’s Top of the Pops on Sunday, so it could be.” Yeah sure, and the Pretty Things are due to record an entire concept album about canned meat.
HEAR IT!
UPDATE: SORRY, I NO LONGER SHIP TO ITALY DUE TO A CORRUPT POSTAL SYSTEM (THERE, NOT HERE).
(THE LESS EXCITING STUFF...)
First class shipping is $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping. Delivery confirmation included in the shipping costs. US International postal rates just shot up nearly double this past week, so please take note of the new rates. I don't make a profit on shipping costs - these are what the post office charges me. Air mail shipping to Canada starts at $10 US, each additional record $3 shipping. Air mail shipping everywhere else in the world starts at $13 US, with each additional record only $4 shipping.
I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it. Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves. But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING
Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package. I hate that too. So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s. And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums). I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job. But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…
I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return. All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction. Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong. You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed. If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
