Terry Randall
S. O. S. / Tell Her
(U.S.A. Valiant Records V-756, stock label)



"S.O.S." side = EX/ "Tell Her" side = VG(+) / **

(rec/cvr) Some scuffs on B-side (somewhat like the marks a record can get from jukebox use, though I don't think that's the case here) that cause some crackles (audible, but not louder than the music) in the last :20 of the song. Comes with plain paper sleeve.



Cool moody California-teen protest tune about getting hassled by the cops on the Sunset Strip. An anxious, subdued rhythm section topped off with pulsing electronic beeps sets a cool stage for his mostly-spoken account of getting hassled by the Man, but his "aww, gee, Dad!" suburban tennis shoe accent is really what makes it great. The flip, in which Randall becomes a one-man Zombies, is excellent too, a minor-key downer ballad about the highly dramatic, terribly sophisticated romantic lives that Terry believes the grown-ups around him are living each day.

Records are strictly, visually graded:

NM:
 disc appears unplayed; sleeve shows no signs of handling
EX:
disc has no flaws; sleeve has only very minor, not obvious flaws
NEX:
disc has very minor, inaudible flaws; sleeve still looks quite nice
VG+:
disc normally will not have audible marks, but more visual flaws; sleeve will have more noticeable, minor wear
VG:
disc will have slight audible flaws; sleeve clearly shows wear



Unfortunately as we all know,
the costs for shipping internationally have gone up, I have no choice but to pass this increase along.
As always, I try to cover my expenses only (I do not charge a "handling fee" or try to make money from shipping charges), and it's not uncommon for my costs to exceed what I charge...

PRIORITY SHIPPING TO ANYWHERE IS AVAILABLE, JUST ASK!!

U.S. MEDIA MAIL is $4;

(Whatever they're now calling:) FIRST CLASS INT'L is:
$8.50 TO CANADA for 1 or 2 45s; plus $1 each add'l;
$12.50 TO EUROPE & ELSEWHERE for 1 or 2 45s; plus $2 each add'l.

If my charges end up being too high I will (happily) refund; I'm just trying to cover my costs 
& not have to pay to give up my records...


Combined shipping is not a problem.
