Got this awesome orange/black vinyl copy. Red label copies seem pretty scarce....
This one got into my brain for some reason. Had to buy it because I couldn't hear it anywhere else...
Finally checked this one off the list.

Mine´s on fire!
I think it is the other way around though. The black label, black vinyl is the scarce one, and the one with superior sound quality. The red label, yellow (and variants of) vinyl are the ones most often seen for sale.
Never had the chance to buy a black vinyl copy. I think mine is a spiffy lookin´45 but the sound quality is the pits.

The first pressing of the Monacles "I Can't Win" has a black label with a yellowish-gold colored font.
The 5 or 6 various repressings have a different sized font (most noticeable is the size of the word Monacles, as shown above on the red label variant) and were done by their manager to promote the movie theater appearances where the group performed during the events.
All repressings have poor sound, as noted on the Back From The Grave pressings. The original black label / gold font pressing with top-notch, clean/unaffected sound is very difficult to find, took me 25 years or more to finally land a copy!

The company sleeve is not the correct one for the time-frame of the 45. The sleeve you show above was not first printed until 1969.Long time want... and probably one of my all time fave 45s ever. It cost me but it's worth it! Pristine copy :)
This is the correct Roulette company sleeve to use appropriate for the time frame (first printed sometime in early/mid 1966 to early 1968, when it was replaced for about 9 months by a glossy print sleeve):

I also should note that there are two pressings of this promo - The top version depicted, with the song title and group placed at the bottom of the label was done at a different area, my copy as shown is an RCA custom pressing which Roulette used for manufacturing of their product line at the time (in New Jersey).

FINALLY! A long time New England terror-tory major want, which plays perfecto (no groove distortion!!!!)
A big shout out of thanks to the sleuthing whiz (Jason L.) who dug up a spare copy for our big swap last month...

I had a yellow vinyl copy that ended up looking like this from being stored in a green cardboard sleeve for a couple of years . Luckily I found a black vinyl copy some years ago . Although that has a silver font , not the gold one MTM mentioned , it still sounds much better .

Thanks Mike. It came in this sleeve from the seller and I snapped a picture. Will of course dig out a correct label sleeve from my stash

I missed out on a decent estate sale a few weeks back, but seemed to have rounded up some of the better records that got picked up by a couple of local record re-sellers.
This ain't great in the least. The Preachers were a decent backing group, but the singer doesn't quite fit. Has a couple of straightforward drum breaks.
Unknown record to me. His other two records, one of which is an oddball late country rocker thing, are rather common around here. First time I've ever seen this one, though. Okie dokie folk influence on both sides. Flip is moody-esque.
Also unknown to me. I'm trying my best to run the Knickerbocker label and thought I was almost there when this one popped up. Came out on Gaylo first. Also on Arlen I think. And then here on Knickerbocker. Sonley and Bobby would recycle the hell out of stuff. This side is good white doo wop, while the flip is a remake of "Susie Q".
Been after this for awhile. Fast moving Chuck Remake. I have now completed my run of Kelley 45s. Both of them.
So I go to this one guy's house to pick up a couple of the records above and I see a small stack of records he wanted me to look at. From across the room I see a tell-tale local label design.

BAAAAAAM! Upgrade.
There were evidently quite a few 45s there and a few major label teenbeat lps as well... very curious now what the less savy buyers might have overlooked.

How much did you spend for The Clue 'Bad Times'...

While I didn't spend a dollar, neither did I spend more than what it costs our family of four when we go out to eat at our favorite Mexican food joint. I told the guy it was an expensive record but he wanted me to pay what I had paid for a couple of others (less than $10 each). I made him take more.
He enjoys the thrill of looking and is much more focused on another area of collecting/selling. He's actually a book guy, but he's the only one in the area so at a sale he goes for the records first and then goes for the books. He sells records relatively cheap and I've gotten some good stuff from him over the past few years. I've also brought home a lot of junk just to take a chance and keep money going his way.

This record wasn't on my list, but ran into it on a BIN so I grabbed it, I first thought it was the BFTG version, but then I realized it was the other version, slower one which i really quite like!
There is the REJECT WOL that I suppose the band wrote in order to give way to the the new pressing, or maybe a radio local station, I really don't know. If somebody has any info about this pressing will be greatly appreciated!!!
Will you be featuring this on your blog Reyes? I'd love to hear the alternate version of "She's Good For Me"

I've recently acquired a bunch of Pacific Northwest 45s off my wantlist.
Good Sixties rocker from 1963. He had the rockabilly 45 "Man From Mars" earlier on the same label. His later efforts on the label are country.
OK Early Seventies Folk Psych. The last 45 on Lavendar that I needed!
Popsike from 1969. I know that Dean Carter was from Illinois, but the label was from Washington. So, I consider it a NW 45. The last 45 on Tell International that I needed!
I know of 5 45s on this Idaho label. None are great, but all are enjoyable. I am now missing two.
A complete unknown. From the label, this is from Salem,OR. I think I first heard it from George G. Maybe he knows something about it. I give it a 5/10 on the Garage-O-Meter. The flip is a (creepy) loner song.
An excellent & rare 45 from 1968. This was an upgrade from my original copy which now resides in Petaluma.
Another rare & excellent 45, this one is from 1965. It features a black soul singer, Bobby Shorter fronting a garage band. The result is wonderful. No horns, but an excellent guitar break. On the same label as the Elegants.
The best part is that the most I paid for any of these was $105 for Yesterday's Children. Bobby & the Innkeepers was $88. The rest were $25 or under.

You reminded me about that! 
It's been so long since I don't put up anything. But if you want I'll send you the track via email.
