Only once in a very great while does this item emerge. It is considered the Holy Grail of 1960-era Texas Garage Rock Bands records, believed to have less than 10 in existence. What makes this so rare in addition is it is approaching 60 years old, still unplayed, still in it's original plain brown paper wrapper sleeve, produced and recorded in San Antonio.  The Runaways were one of the hottest bands in San Antonio in the middle 1960's. One collector in a foreign country who bought one of the 10 told me he'd would have paid as much as $10,000  as it is so incredibly rare. Not only is the record ultra-ultra rare in itself, in the fact that there were only around 10 ever pressed at a recording studio on Hildebrand Avenue in San Antonio. Now, what really makes this record this valuable, is that it is untouched by human hands, never taken from the original included plain paper sleeve, and of course, never seen the touch of a needle, as it has never been played, and it has been like that in a box in a closet for over 50 years. A true treasure for any collector that values the 60's Texas garage band rock era. Maybe it should go to Sotheby's?
There are still articles on the web about them, and this record has been included on some Best of Texas Garage Rock Bands compilations on CD. Here are some exerts from one article.

The Runaways

Not to be confused with the sexy female Runaways of the 70’s, these were four guys from Jefferson and Lee and Edison High who could rock your socks off. Being in junior high, these high school superstars were the closest thing to The Beatles we thought we would ever see. We even asked for their autographs!

The Runaways really blew out some shoppers’ eardrums on July 23, 1966. Maybe that’s why the Auto Show people pulled the plug on them after two songs. The merchants were complaining and the band was told they could continue outside if they wanted to play some more. The car show stayed inside and we followed the band outside, where they set up by the front entrance to Montgomery Wards. There wasn’t much room on the sidewalk after the guys set up, so we stood out in the parking lot under that wonderful Texas July sun.  The Runaways played nothing but cover versions of the current hits, and that was just what we wanted. They did all the rockers, “Gloria”, “Wipe Out”, The Stones, The Kinks, The Animals (they did a killer version of “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place”). They also did the only hard rock version of Charlie Rich’s “Mohair Sam” that I’ve ever heard.

But the song that really blew us away was “Hungry,” by Paul Revere & The Raiders. The bass player, Mike, had that mean bass line down perfect and sang great too. The lead guitarist, Kent, did a great “breathless” Mark Lindsay vocal. The rhythm guitarist, Chris, was the cut-up of the band, but was right there with the back-up vocals and some leads as well.

But the real “rock star” and heart-throb of the band was sitting back there on the drums. His name was Tim and I’m sure he broke his share of hearts back then.  

This copy turned up while preparing for a retirement move and holy crap when it was discovered that it was still there, sitting as it did nearly 60 years ago, it was just a WOW moment. This is just something a TRUE collector needs to have, not an item sitting packed away in a box.  The important memories are there to take it's place.
I have it because I was very close to this band, these amazing 4 guys.  There are stories I could tell.  They only did one record, and it was done in a studio on HIldebrand Avenue, with just one mic and one very primitive recorder for back in those days, they didn't have much to record with. Nothing even remote to what they had just a few years later when recording became serious with multi-track recorders and studio sound boards.  This was rock and roll completely RAW as it started. 
This is indeed, a true treasure, and it is worth adding to someone's highly elite collection around the world.
One side is the incredible 18th Floor Girl and the second side is Your Foolish Ways, both vocals by Chris. (God bless him and let him forever rest in peace)
