It's hard to tell from this photo, but the record did originally come with a picture sleeve and I had acquired a few from an ex band member some years back. They were stored extremely well so they looked very clean and sort of "new" looking, but they were from the same time period as the 45...

OK, the second half of the list went up yesterday! LOTS of insanely killer stuff... If anyone needs and recommendations, etc..,. Don't hesitate to drop me a line!

Hi All, Just letting you know that I put up a batch of 70 Texas garage 45's yesterday on Ebay. An even bigger and wilder batch is going up this upcoming Sunday! Check it out: https://www.ebay.com/sch/lookbluegopurple/m.html?item=293253552660&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Yeah, it seems like some copies have been perfect mint and some have had issues with scuffs, warps, cracks, etc. From what I understand they were stored under less than ideal conditions over the years and many were stored outside of their sleeves. Kind of a roll of the dice! I had tried working...

Dave, where was the Seguin stash found? How many were found then?

It appears there was a recent find of "30+ copies" (according to the source) of The Modulation Corporation 45. Seller is selling them at a price now of $144 buy it now. Seller is very nice but not a record dealer so grading may not be consistent. Not all copies appear to be mint, as it seems...

Wow! So cool to finally get to hear this record. Thanks Bosshoss. I like it... The tempo shifts keep the rocker side interesting, and the little fuzz melody sections are nice. I like the amateur vocals too, though I am often partial to that kind of thing. I give it a 6. The flip has an...

Really curious to hear this one finally!!

Said Texas lawyer is indeed an excellent person! He does not have a copy of this 45 though, since him and I have discussed it before. About 5 years ago, I managed to get ahold of one of the last living band members. He confirmed the records existence but told me his personal copies were all...

Not bad... Not great. I'd give it a 4. Mostly hampered by the square vocals. Bosshoss' price estimate sounds about right, but I wouldn't doubt if a regional collector or two would be willing to pay 2-3 times that.

Just saw this in the old archives... I recently located and interviewed Symmetry Of Sound for my garage blog. I would say this record must be quite scarce, especially if it is true that they only pressed 100 copies! Here is the interview with them along with a band photo and soundclips...

OK, great... Thanks for the help on the Shadows 5. Sounds like this is indeed an original. It does also have the Sheldon stamp in the dead wax.

I just bought one of those Shadows 5 copies from the seller earlier discussed in this thread. Can anybody that has an original confirm that the record has a thin flat label that is smooth with the rest of the record and is pressed on thin glossy and plastic-y vinyl? It really looks and feels...

I wrote and asked Greg last year if he had any copies left because I wanted to buy one... Never heard back. I know of someone else who wrote him and asked for one and never got a reply either!

The recent Runaways find was me, I got a total of 5 copies in a small random collection I bought earlier in the year. Sold three copies at ARC, and one privately. Shellacshack has been periodically listing copies since 2003-4. He must have found stock somewhere back in the day, but he won't...
