    Last one sold. Thanks to BossHoss, Moptop, everyone who bought a record, and for all the positive comments. I wish we had more copies to go around!

    I have 8 different listings for 9 records on eBay starting on Feb. 3. I asked for the listings to start at 11 a.m. CST, but eBay assigned each listing a different start time ranging from 11:00:01 to 11:00:57 CST. I hope there are enough copies for everyone who wants one! Marty

    Thanks to all the G45 folks who purchased our 45 through eBay and Discogs, and for all the messages. Pending a sale, I'll have between 9 and 11 copies that I will list on eBay starting Sunday February 3 at 11 a.m. Central Standard Time (5 p.m. UTC). These copies are not in as good a condition...

    Glad you like the record! Good question about Heidi, and I guess she will always be a mystery. The song was written by Harry and Eugene West, and neither was a member of the band. Harry heard us play, and said he wanted to have us record his songs. We couldn't say no! At the time, Harry was...

    Rich, Great! Glad to hear the record arrived ok and that you're happy with it. I have another 25 copies that aren't in such good condition, and I'm gathering advice on how to price those. Hope to have them available for sale soon.

    Bosshoss, thank you for the kudos! It's a relief to know I'm not screwing this up, at least for now. Neither Ray nor I are record collectors or dealers, so all this is very new to us, especially the interest in our record from so long ago. The discussion on G45 has been very helpful for us in...

    Mike, I tried to get some edge shots of a record on a turntable, not sure how informative these are. Ray confirmed that 1000 copies were pressed, and I've attached a photo of the shipping label (which contains a date) from one of the shipping boxes. Marty

    Hi Mike, I'll try to get an edge shot of the record for you. As I went through these copies, 26 of them had warping of 1-2mm. We're selling that bunch of records first. The remainder had warping of 3-4mm, but still played fine at 1.5 grams. Some had other minor defects - discolored vinyl...

    Infinitives - Thousand Tears/Heidi

    Happy New Year Everyone! Back in 1966, I played lead guitar on the Infinitives 45 “Thousand Tears/Heidi.” Our organ player has discovered 50 copies, still in the original shipping boxes, stored for years in his basement. We’ll be selling these copies on eBay and Discogs. I’ll give...
