    Default The worst UK psych single I've ever heard

    Aka- Rarest Uk psych single ever

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AQUARIAN-AGE-1...QQcmdZViewItem

    I know xxx can make some wild statements, but usually he's fairly accurate if a little over-enthusiastic

    Is this really that rare? To be honest I can't remember the a-side, but the flip, almost made me smash my record player.

    You, Sir, are a cloth-eared poltroon!

    10,000 words in a cardboard box is Twink's mind-unwind ramble-gabble brain-fry-up meisterwerk and tickles me fancy something chronic. All hail the demented horn sections and revolving strings. Bloody marvellous, what?

    No idea how rare it is, of course.
    Col'll tell you.

    That said, a brief glimpse through the rest of the geezer's auctions would suggest he uses the words 'mega rare' as liberally as others do 'psych dancer'.

    Bloody marvelous song, not the rarest UK psych 45 though...I would guess it'll go for £300-350, so its definitely up there in the top 15 anyway.

    Maybe the topside is good. I can't think of any other sixties track that made me as angry as the lisping, simpering, toytown shite that is the b-side, though. This makes me not want to like the a, either

    I don't mind a bit of toytown- even like 'bitter thoughts of little jane' more than I should, but good wizard meets naughty wizard takes the biscuit

    The A-side is awesome, but yes, the B is indeed among the very worst things ever recorded.

    IT IS FAR FAR RARER THAN ANY OF THE 'FACTORY' 45s FOR EXAMPLE, AND EVEN 'FREDEREEK HERNADO' BY 'ONE IN MILLION' TURNS UP 10 TIMES MORE OFTEN THAN THIS SINGLE!!!!
    = complete bollocks.
    SEALED, this has a sticker on the front reading "COLOUR VINYL" so it's probably not black vinyl, even though black is a colour.

    Im a big fan of the a side. Thankfully ive never had the misfortune to hear the b side and i think i'll keep it that way.

    I find xxx's descriptions incredibly irritating for some reason, i just can't stress that enough ! - I think he may have some kind of mental disorder

    I mean, have you ever tried to just find out what condition a record is in ??? I've given up many times

    He's not as bad as geesdee- at least he sells proper records rather than stupid mint copies of Wings albums

    Must stress that I didn't post this to take the piss out of him- genuinely curious as to whether this is as rare as he makes out. I dare say I'd have made less money on t'bay if it hadn't have been for xxx SHOWING me the WAY STUNNING VG-!!! AMAZING AMAZING!!! CLIFF< SHADS> RAER!

    Well I've just checked here and it's only worth £18.



    He's plainly trying it on.

    I know nothing about this single but the guys description just pissed me off...proper.
    How many times did he mention that it is the rarest Psych 45 out there and he totally went mad on the bold and underlines and not to mention the fact that its the rarest 45 out there so just incase you didnt know I'll help him out....
    ITS THE RAREST PSYCH 45 OUT THERE ...DON'T MISS THIS ONCE IN A LIFE TIME OPPURTUNITY TO PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE!

    Oh sorry did I say that out loud. Ooopss my bad.

    I haven't heard it...this, from a review made me smile though

    "Provincial covers band Trendsetters Ltd grab their last-gasp regeneration as The Brain, releasing the wince-inducing, “Nightmares In Red” – a bit like The Goons, but lacking wit or style."

    I like the Trendsetters Ltd single I've got though.
