Description

This is an overall fine original stereo U.S. pressing copy of the fifth and final LP by the Standells, released in 1967.  One of the most popular "punk" groups from the 1960s, the Standells had pedigree: group leader Larry Tamblyn was the brother of stage and screen star Russ Tamblyn (West Side Story), while drummer and lead singer Dick Dodd had been a Mouseketeer.  After their two solid 1966 LPs, the group recorded a questionable LP of cover versions ("Sunny Afternoon"? "Sunshine Superman"?), then got serious again here, though admittedly with somewhat mixed results.  Their stabs at soul music didn't play to their strengths, and their attempt at something like sunshine pop ("Trip to Paradise") wasn't that convincing, though the darker psych songs, "Did You Ever Have That Feeling?" and "All Fall Down," were better.  The LP's highlights were its punk songs: the banned title track, "Riot on Sunset Strip" (which also served as the title song to the 1967 film of that name), and "Barracuda."  And Dodd's folk-rock song "Poor Shell of a Man" is affecting.  The record's high points, then, measure up to their best work.  The jacket is close to M- with light ring, corner, and seam wear -- EX(+).  The disc has some light scraping and scuffing, and plays with mostly light surface noise (VG++).

I’m in the process of selling off a large personal collection amassed over two decades. All discs have been stored in plastic lined inner sleeves separate from their jackets. The jackets have been stored in plastic sleeves. I have play graded (spot checked) discs except where otherwise noted.

If you'd like to order multiple items, I'll happily combine them so that you won't have to pay multiple shipping charges.
