detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times
delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.

packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of

inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

This LP is as truly entertaining as is legendary, considered to be one of the best obscure Garage Rock Lp s in all of the sixties, investment item in clean condition, easily valued 1000 or more
THE OTHER HALF album was recorded in the spring of 1966 on the top floor of the Oasis Hotel in Camden NJ just across the river from Philadelphia in a small for-hire recording studio.
The OTHER HALF were from a blip-on-the map township called Pottstown Pennsylvania , near Reading Pa where later on the pop-giant Taylor Swift was spawned as a potential teenie-bop groupie of the mighty OTHER HALF garage-rock snarl... The Other Half had a solid Northeastern sound, but with a little more garage aggressive edge than their regional competition. Their only album THE OTHER HALF was released on the 7/2 Records Label HS-1/2 with only 100 Copies Pressed.
Their LP includes two cool originals among superior performed rhythm n blues and British Invasion covers attacked by a tough edge and crude rocked-out manner on the rowdy side.
Gloria by Them Satisfaction , Time Is On My Side and As Tears Go By by The Rolling Stones Time Won t Let Me by The Outsiders, Talkin Bout You by The Animals ...etc. .
A second album was planned, to be recorded Spring of 1967, but one of the group members was expelled from The Hill School, a prep school where the group was attending, just days before the recording was to take place.
THE OTHER HALF members were:
Bob Collett vocals ,
Andrea Inganni vocals ,
Don Karr Farfisa Compact Organ , Fender Bass ,
John Hawkins bass ,
Dominick Puccio guitar, Fender Bass ,
Rex Lamb fuzz guitar ,
Cranleigh Sammis drums .
The cover: rated: EX excellent to M- only little visible past owner s careful handling easily the best original copy out of 100 LP s pressed one will ever hope to find. The cover is unique, opens up from the left-side edge.
Thick with non-faded striking original near 60 years past appearance true final collection keeper ...there are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...
The vinyl:
Rated: near M- fantastic best imagined orig with still clean shine, dynamic bold-mono audio - no original better and both 7-2 labels
are totally clean
weight heavy 1966 private press beast like they don t make any longer
