Previously Unknown Creme Soda 45

[JakeTheFlake]

Creme Soda was a mid-seventies band that recorded a couple of 45s and one album. Many of their songs sound like sixties garage, despite the fact that they were stranded in the seventies. I recently came across one of their 45s and bought it for a dollar. Upon getting home, I searched for this particular 45 online. I could find nothing. Apparently this particular 45 has escaped the notice of online record collectrs. The A-side is titled "You Ain't Got Nothin' Yet." The B-side just has a backwards printing of the A-sides label.
The A-side song is not a cover of the Blues M's song of a similar title. This Creme Soda song sounds like a snotty, proto-punk version of a Country and Western song. The song on the B-side is just what you'd suspect from reading the label - a backwards version of "You Ain't Got Nothin' Yet"
The label does have the trademark pyramid / eye logo and the word "Trinity." The song is credited to "Tanon/Klein". Somebody put a red " X " on the A-side. The publisher for ASCAP is "Water St." , while other Creme Soda records have a different publisher. Also, this song is numbered "001" which makes me wonder if this was not the very first Creme Soda record? This would lead me to believe that this record once belonged to a radio station.
Does anybody have any information on this 45 ? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a United Records pressing from 1972.

Thanks for the information. Isn't that a couple of years before their other records? That would make this their earliest>

Yeah, that 45 you have is a new one on me, so it would be their 1st

If I'm not supposed to be posting links or talking about my eBay auctions, I apologize. You can remove this post. But if its Ok with the moderators, then there's the link ! I figured some people might be interested in checking it out.

I don't think there's a problem with posting ebay links. I looked at your listing and think you would do better if you also had a sound file of the 45, particularly if it's an unknown. Also you should know what your overseas postage rates are going to be. I'm not planning to bid on this, but I live in Sydney and I'd be put off by a seller who says they are going to figure out the postage once the auction is over.

It costs about $7 to mail a well-packed 45 overseas by first class international (equivalent to the old airmail).
You would want to change your description ASAP as people seeing that $20 estimate may think you're trying to make extra on shipping or just don't have a clue as to selling. That'll scare off more people than the 0 feedback.

Nothing pisses me off more than flakes charging too much shipping costs from USA to the UK.

 

[JakeTheFlake]

Heitkotter and Michael W, thanks for the advice. I have updated the shipping prices to make them more accurate.

Thanks for posting this, very interesting. The 45 is completely undocumented, despite the fair share of writing for the band over the years (Greg Shaw even wrote about them in Bomp). I'll be adding this info to the Acid Archives update blog. $100 may seem meager for a previously unknown 45 by a highly rated band, but as we know the two concepts "1970s" and "45s" do not blend well in the typical collector head...

Hi Patrick . That's really cool that you'll be adding that info to your blog. Kinda makes you wonder what other records are out there, previously unknown.
