Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

USA - EMPIRE RECORDS (LOCAL PA.)
SUPER Mega-rare!!!
Here's an authentic "all original" 1968 GARAGE ROCK album that very few collectors have seen yet own. Apparently Empire Records, a local Pennsylvania record label took notice in the "HOT-BED" of GARAGE teen-scene bands in the state. Empire issued some 5 or so different albums from various parts of the state featuring hopelessly obscure GARAGE bands who never had the opportunity to release even a 45 rpm... READING 1968 is one of the EMPIRE releases which NEVER turns up, remaining as obscure and elusive as any 60's GARAGE album!
Of absolute essential importance writing READING 1968 would have to be the track by STRAWBERRY TUESDAY and their fantastic "RETURN OF THE WALRUS" ...you be the judge by listening to the click-on link below, LISTEN:
Strawberry Tuesday - Return of the Walrus - YouTube

READING PENNSYLVANIA 1968 is a CRUDE, PRIMITIVE GARAGE relic filled with the charming inept crude rock & roll of the sixties... the album includes some truly inspired SOUL-GARAGE shouters as well...all tracks are not enhanced by any gimmicks or studio enhancements, rather straight up exactly as the bands delivered...beware, sparse, crude and decidedly wonderful!!!
CREAM, HENDRIX, DOORS, JAMES BROWN,PSYCH, GARAGE-ROCK INFLUENCES... Serious collectors of 60s garage 45's and Lp's should take notice - ALL TRACKS WITHIN are NOT available ANYWHERE ELSE other than this platter - this is it! The "happening:" sounds of CRUDE Pennsylvania, 1968 !

CONDITION: The cover: rated: VG...for contact rub wear and paper loss at bottom left, front and back corner. That being said it's otherwise solid without split seams, colors are still strong...you have to consider the LP was pressed in very few numbers, not many copies survived, so copies with covers such as this should be considered readily acceptable in consideration to the background of the true artifact!
The vinyl: Rated: VG plays fantastic, no jumps, no skips and even very little surface ...virtually no disappointments to garage 45's/LP collectors ... pressed on thick wonder vinyl with deep grooves and no dreaded groove wear from ceramic cartridge overload which was prevalent in the '60s. Both Empire labels are clean wit a little wear at spindle hole.
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
