184

This is a no reserve auction for the following 45 RPM vinyl record:

Artist: The Pentagons

Title: Try and Find / Before I Go

Year: August -1966

Cat #  Pent Records (Fenton) 2084

Vinyl Condition: VG

Comments: Vinyl shows sleeve swiping, but plays great with some noise. The noise however is not overwhelming and there are no skips or loud pops.  Labels look good with no writing and little rub wear. There is a small warped part on the edge of the record, but it does not affect playback. There are also some heavier scarf marks on side B, but again they do not affect play. This record is not mint by any means, but it's rarity is worth the blemishes.

   
This is a mega rare record which was put out by the legendary Michigan label Fenton. Fenton had many offshoot labels and Pent was one of them. Actually from my reading, it looks like this particular record was the only one ever issued under the Pent label. I guess it was short for "Pentagons"...which makes sense. The Pentagons were a Muskegon, Michigan band and had a garage/punk sound...very much like Mitch Ryder...very cool!  Additional information about the Fenton label and it's groups can be found here:

**** NOTE TO BUYERS****

I use the Goldmine record grading system, which is detailed below. Cover's and vinyl are graded separately and may not fall into the same category. If you would like more info about a particular title, please ask. I check Ebay often and will try to get back to you promptly.

VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) -  Vinyl may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned corners, or a slight seam split. Also may have slight signs of wear also may be marred by a cut out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at discount.
