This is a fine copy from a 1991 comp/archival LP of singles and outtakes by two related groups, the Enfields and Friends of the Family.  Both groups hailed from Wilmington, Delaware, south of Philadelphia, and were led by guitarist and chief songwriter Ted Munda.  The seven Enflields tracks reissue the groups four 1966-67 singles, which offer well crafted beat-rock and pop songs influenced by the British Invasion.  The six Friends of the Family tracks were recorded in spring 1967, and are similar in sound, though they occasionally veer towards jazz (e.g., "Bambi's March").  The latter group was only able to release one 1968 single before breaking up.  This collection is the only one to date to have (re)issued most of this material.  The jacket is close to pristine with a little light creasing and staining (M-).  The disc is clean with some light scuffing, and plays with a little light surface noise (M-).  The record comes with a four-page insert (M-).

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.

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