For sale is an exceedingly scarce original pressing of garage/psych 45 "I'm Gone Slide/Now That Summer's Gone by The Dagenites on the white (promo?) Heigh-Ho label, 619-45. 


I found this beauty at an estate sale in Oxen Hill, Maryland where the band was from. A double-sided banger, both songs are mentioned in Mike Markesich's book, Teenbeat Mayhem. In the section that ranks the top 1000 garage rock songs of all time, voted on by a panel of noted garage writers and experts (out of the more than 16,000 songs mentioned in the book), "I Don't Want to Try it Again" ranks #149 and "I'm Gone Slide" #352, respectively. Featuring in several garage compilations, originals are very hard to come by. I live in nearby Bethesda, Maryland and I've never had one. 

One side I've added to the listing via Youtube link. I can't list the other song due to copyright, apparently, but the condition is very much the same.

My grading system: STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition.  M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless. M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade.  NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws. VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.   VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better.  GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections.
