The FOWNDS  “Comin On Strong” / “Rosalin”
(REEB)

Super-scarce obscurity from a Hudson, New York based group.  This was their first single, released in 1971, but you’d never know that by listening to both songs. 
Both songs are crude, lo-fi recordings.
The A side, “Rosalin”, is a teener / group harmony type 1950s influenced tune. Performed in the classic garage combo style - crude!
The completely different sounding “Comin On Strong” is their mid ‘60s, five years behind the times sounding garage tune. Double crude.
Very scarce 45, doubt there are more than 4 or 5 known.


 

CONDITION: I grade for visual, and for playback.  Playback = graded while listening thru top notch studio headphones
Grades are: Near Mint (for store stock - unplayed), VG++ (close to perfect)  VG+ (excellent keeper copy)
VG , VG minus, and G (what most ebay sellers award as a VG grade is equal to my G condition).
I do not use the EX grade.  EX = VG+ in my strict grading standards.


Visual:  Strong VG, several hairline scuffs on both sides with evidence of lite playwear.
Labels show light wear


Audio / PlaybackVG  
I hear lite clicks and some surface noise, due to the lo-fi , low volume level recording, sounds “box-y”.

Sorry, no bidders from Italy allowed - I've had too many parcels go "missing" over the years.
