Description
UP FOR AUCTION IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF THE RARE LP'S GRANDMA;S ROCKERS THE ORIGINAL, NOT THE REMAKE, STILL IN THE SHRINKWRAP FROM THE TOWN OF MAQUOKETA , IOWA THIS BAND GOT TOGETHER IN 1963 AS A BUNCH OF FRIENDS FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL MADE UP OF (LARRY WILLIAMS, JIM MAROUSIS, BRIAN HAAS, JAMIE FARNUM, AND DAVE LANGE). LATER ON JAMIE FARNUM'S BROTHER CHUCK JOINED THEM AND REPLACED DAVE LANGE. CHUCK WAS AN ORIGINAL MEMBER OF "THE GUYS WHO CAME UP FROM DOWNSTAIRS" ALSO FROM MAQUOKETA. READ THEIR BAND HISTORY IT IS REALLY A GOOD STORY. IN 1967 THEY RECORDED "HOMEMADE APPLE PIE AND YANKEE INGENUITY" AT THE FREDLO STUDIOS IN DAVENPORT, IOWA. THESE GUYS ARE REALLY GOOD BUT WHO NEW THIS ALBUM WOULD BECOME SUCH A CULT CLASSIC. I HAD THIS ALBUM FOR SALE FOR A FRIEND OF MINE ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO (I AM THE SECOND OWNER) BUT HE WANTED $1500.00 FOR IT AND HE WAS OFFERED $1000.00 BUT HE TURNED IT DOWN HE HAS SINCE PASSED AWAY AND I AQUIRED IT. THE BOOK VALUE IN THE NEW GOLDMINE BOOK IS $1750.00 WITH ONLY LESS THAN 500 PRESSED.WHEN I HAD IT LISTED BEFORE CHUCK FARNUM READ ABOUT IT AND CALLED ME UP AND CAME OVER TO MY HOUSE TO LOOK AT IT AS WELL AS ALL OF MY OTHER FREDLO RECORDS HE TOLD ME THAT ONLY ABOUT 200 WERE PRESSED AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY LEFT. IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND ONE IN BETTER CONDITION THAN THIS ONE. WHEN I FIRST GRADED THIS FIVE YEARS AGO I CALLED IT NEAR MINT AS WELL AS A FEW OTHER COLLECTORS I KNOW, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT OUT IN THE SUNLIGHT I SEEN A FEW VERY VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES SO I AM GOING TO CALL A VG++. STILL I DON'T THINK YOU COULD FIND A BETTER COPY THAT EXISTS. I PLAYED IT ONE TIME AND THERE IS NO SKIPS OR BACKROUND NOISE. YOU COULD OWN THE REISSUE BUT THIS IS THE REAL THING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION PLEASE ASK. AND TAKE A MINUTE TO LOOK AT MY OTHER ALBUMS FOR SALE. SHIPPING IS $10.00 IN THE US AND $25.00 WORLWIDE. IT HAS A RESEALABLE MYLAR OUTER SLEEVE AND WILL BE SHIPPED IN AN ALBUM SHIPPING BOX WITH TWO PIECES OF CARDBOARD. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
