SOMETHING OR OTHER / White Cliffs of Dover

this original primitive garage cruncher is VERY RARE and never seen !!!

'Something or Other' is the track you'll want to be spinning over and over again here....
and you really won't find a better copy of this crazy classic than this...

Yes that's right ....'White Cliffs of Dover' is the same song as done by Vera Lynn and this version
is truly hideous and beyond appalling whatever possessed these guys to record this version probably
isn't even worth thinking about - be very afraid....- it should be no.1 on the world's worst wall of shame -
so if you can get all of the way through it without wanting to throw yourself off the white cliffs of dover
you'd really deserve a medal...

As the drummer with Buffalo Springfield, Dewey Martin provided the backbeat to some of the most enduring and influential American rock music of the 1960s.
Often referred to as "America's answer to the Beatles", the Springfield were a showcase for the early songwriting talents of Neil Young and Stephen Stills, with additional support from Richie Furay. But with bass player Bruce Palmer, Martin formed a rhythm section that perfectly suited the group's pioneering style of West Coast folk-rock.

After little more than two years and three albums, the group split up in 1968. Martin's career stalled and he was reduced to playing in what were, in effect, Buffalo Springfield tribute bands. But by providing the beat to such seminal tracks as For What It's Worth, Mr. Soul and Rock 'N' Roll Woman, he had already secured his place in rock history.

Born Walter Milton Dwayne Midkiff on September 30, 1940 in Chesterville, Ontario in Canada, he was known as 'Dewey' from a young age due to his inability to say 'Dwayne'. His first instrument at school was the saxophone but he took up drums at the age of 13 and learnt to play along to Everly Brothers songs on a rented drum kit ,set up in his parents' kitchen.

His first high school band was called the Jive Rockets and he made a name himself on the local dance band scene before moving to the US, where he joined the army. After his discharge he moved to Nashville and backed various country singers on an ad hoc basis, before getting a gig in 1963 in Faron Young's touring band. When the tour reached Los Angeles, he decided to stay.

He recorded his first single in 1964, taking the lead vocal on a rocked up version of The White Cliffs Of Dover, released under the name Sir Raleigh and the Coupons and intended to cash in on the hysteria for all things British in the wake of the Beatles' invasion of the American charts.

Two further singles followed under the same name in 1965, during which time he also played in a number of other bands, including The Sons of Adam, the Modern Folk Quartet, the Standells and country act the Dillards.
have fun !

I have many 1000's of LP's, 45's & E.P's and I am currently downsizing my extensive DJ collection and I have been collecting and DJ-ing vinyl for over 30 years...

I always pack records in top quality mailers with card stiffeners.

I have many years experience in collecting all sorts of records for my own listening pleasure and also to DJ as well...

Unless listed as MINT unplayed - I generally test all records for sound quality before being offered for sale via BBC studio reference quality

Rodgers Studio 1A monitors and a variety of decks inc. Project / Thorens / Technics 1210's and various types of amps...

I do not 'skim'... nor do I use other chemicals or polishes to clean my records...

I truly care about my customers and I grade my records conservatively...

I have no interest in inflating the stated quality of either the vinyl or audio reproduction, and wish all of my customers to enjoy top-quality records.

Please check my 100% positive feedback...

kind regards ~ snogsdogs
