The Teardrops "Sweet Sweet Sadie" - provenance from drummer

[Lisa_Wheeler]

1966
As heard on:
Monsters Of The Midwest vol.3
Now Hear This! Garage & Beat From the Norman Petty Vaults
Psychedelic States: Colorado

Interviewed the drummer for my blog: http://www.pueblocitylimits.com
He has a handful left of "Sweet Sweet Sadie" unplayed with the uber rare picture sleeve.
Helping him purge a few from his stash. He's keeping the rest for family.
Says they are "mint" and have been stored inside his home.
Picture sleeve is yellowed from age, but no tears.
He's shipping to me this week, so I can eyeball them myself.

Seeing if there are any takers at $150 a piece.
Starting a list of interested folks, only.
Again, once I've had a chance to see them, in person, I can confirm condition.

He also has "a few" of the Patti Jo and the Teardrops 45 (you and also hear these on the blog) - comes
with a promo black and white original photo of the group. $100.

Hey thanks! Will contact everyone individually when I get them. Going to mail these priority postage - so $7 should cover it. -Lisa

I assume by "sleeve" you mean the one-page insert, right?

 

[Lisa_Wheeler]

It's this....He is calling it a "sleeve," but I have no clue until I see it.

 

[tymespan]

I'd like a copy too if I'm not too late.

 

[Lisa_Wheeler]

I need to see how many he is sending.... I'll keep the list going, but yeah, will be first come, first served.
Thanks again for the interest!

[wolfman]

Hi Lisa,

definetly would like a copy (PS) if i am not too late. cheers, wolfman

 

[Richard Whig]

I am in for a copy with sleeve if you have enough. Thanks.

 

[Lisa_Wheeler]

OK---got the records, and there aren't enough to go around. Will try to get a few more. So if you get a personal message from me, be prepared to paypal me $157 (priority plus delivery confirmation), or the next person gets your record. Thanks for the interest!

ALSO: There are a few of you who won't let me post private messages to you on here - not sure how I can get you your record.... if you disabled that feature, contact me through here, so I have some way of getting a hold of you...

(Sorry - thought I posted the condition on here... I see I didn't in the original text above so read below):

Quick review shows that they all are in beautiful condition, vinyl-wise. I never call anything mint, but these are pretty damn close.

THAT SAID - there is a VERY slight storage warp (as you can expect with a record this old), which does not impact play.

He said he stored them in their original box, but assures me that it was in his home in Colorado, and not outdoors.

The "sleeve" is essentially a glued on one sheet to a standard white paper sleeve - but pretty damn cool. That's the way they originally came. Graphic has very (very) slight yellowing, but is in amazing condition.

..just signed up yesterday and have not checked all my settings yet . Don't know if you tried to contact me.
Anyway, here#s an e-mail address: [email protected]
Would be great to hear from you.Thanks

 

[Lisa_Wheeler]

Thanks - if I privately contact you with info on where to send your payment, you have a record. :)

Had questions on overseas shipping: If you are not in the USA, postage is still $7.00, but you obviously are not going to get it quick. The priority postage I offer is for USA address, only.

PLEASE READ: Since I have received numerous questions about this, I think I better set up some sort of rules on payment. It's not fair for those who are on the wait list, and ready to pay, to continue to wait, without any firm answer that they are getting one of these singles, or not.

I will give everyone who I have told I have singles for until Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. (central) to settle up, or I will move on to the next person.

I'm just trying to be fair. I'm doing my best to accommodate everyone.
