THIS IS IT, POSSIBLY THE BEST COPY OF THIS SUPER RARE PREP SCHOOL GARAGE BAND THAT WAS LIMITED TO 500 ORIGINAL COPIES AND MOSTLY HANDED OUT TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY. HAILING FROM THE PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN ANDOVER MASSACHUSETTS, THEY WERE DESCRIBED AS THE “THE MOST FAMOUS UTTERLY OBSCURE ROCK BAND IN AMERICA” BY THE WASHINGTON POST. THIS IS SOLID GARAGE WITH SOME PSYCHEDELIC TENDANCIES WITH SOME FANTASTIC ORIGINALS WITH HAUNTING VOCALS TO OUTRIGHT SNARLING. PLENTY OF GREAT GUITAR WORK AND FUZZ IN THERE TOO. THEY MASTER SOME COVERS TOO AND ABSOLOUTLY NAIL “BABY PLEASE DONT GO”. OBVIOUS MARKS OF FLAWS TO VINYL OR COVER WILL BE NOTED. NM NO SIGN OF PLAY, NO GROOVE WEAR AND DEFINITELY NO SCRATCHES. THIS WAS SEALED AND PLAYED ONCE TO GRADE AND THIS IS THE ONLY PLAY ITS EVER HAD.
