Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +24,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

Best 1968 Copy You'll Likely ever find!
The strange thing is the BACK cover artwork/information was released "loose" meaning not glued down in manufacturing, so most of THE REBS "Breakthrough '68" are missing the back cover gotten lost over 55 years past. ................................................................ GOOD NEWS : this TOP COPY STILL CONTAINS THE UNGLUED BACK COVER !

................................................................
Mighty rare 1968 ORIGINAL local Iowa pressing of teen-scen garage greatness ... along the lines of the JUSTICE Records releases, THE REBS feature the primitive-crude garage-rock sound collectors desperately seek Grandma's Rockers represent a zenith for Midwestern club band records, then the Rebs follows right behind!
Crawling forth somewhere in between crude local garage in the Back From The Grave sense, and the utterly incompetent female Shaggs.
The Rebs reveal their special magic already on the opening track, a road-wreck version of "My Back Pages" which will crack you up. The singer, whose greatness is promoted in the liner notes, delivers charming teen-scene ineptness within this set. Refer to the Acid Archives 2nd Edition for more on this highly entertaining album, which is widely unknown or underappreciated by record dealers and garage collectors.
This isn't some low-key teen-beat thing like the Immigrants but a crazy, crude experience. Rasputin & The Monks on a rock bender? There's some great fuzz raves on the Blue Cheer "Summertime" Blues", one of three tunes that overlap with the Grandma's Rockers. Keep in mind this was a limited Fredlo custom pressing sold by the band only at gigs (never available in retail stores.)
Again, this copy includes the back cover insert so often missing from copies.
