Thunderbirds "Century label" Hey Little Girl 45 for sale

[Steve Brown]

I am one of the co-founders and original band members of the Thunderbirds. I am offering for sale our "Century label" 45 of the song I wrote 'Hey Little Girl'. This 45 was recorded in Iowa in 1966 in my fathers heavy construction equipment shop on a stormy night and was never formally distributed or sold. This was recorded live, a 'one take' if you will (on a reel to reel tape), no separate tracks. The steel building (although insulated) was large and had some natural echo to it. After receiving the records, we weren't satisfied with the clarity and sound quality of the record, ie...the re-record of the songs on the Libra label.
This record is brand new, has never been played (at least a "M-" condition), and is in the original sleeve.
Based on recent internet traffic, it appears that a fare price is $750 US dollars for the record.

Hey Steve, both versions are great. I thought it was cool that Tim Warren featured this one in the recent Last of the Garage Punk Unknowns.

While it may very well be the Century version, I was under the impression it was the Libra version.

I stand corrected, I just listened to it again, it is the Century version.

Just wanted to refresh this post and advise this record is still available for sale. I also have a "new-in the sleeve-never played" Libra record of the same 2 songs also for sale.
