    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I just wish XXX wasn't so good at getting the highest prices - he has loads of stuff I want but can't justify buying. The couple of bits I have had from him have been spot-on, though...
    We know when a mate buys it for you too.

    Oh yeah...true enough. I've had to restrain myself many times from answering his 'when will you ever see another copy like this?!!!?!' with a couple of links to nicer and cheaper copies of the same record listed at the same time

    At least he distracts fat walleted morons from bidding on records we all want, eh

    He's so good at his art, I bet he could sell a Paul Young lp
    I'd like to see the description
    Attention!!! I know this is a very expensive Price for the record. This i one of my most beloved Records, so my primary intention isn't the selling. I like it in my collection. I only will sell it, if someone wants it that much, that he is willing to pay that much money. Therefore the unrealistic price. Please don't tell me about it. I don't want to cheat ,I don't force someone into buying it, I don't want to drive up the price.Thanks for understanding

    I wish I could send him some records to sell on my behalf and I would give him a commission. I've got a few UK 60's bits that could do well with his bullshit descriptions.

    that record is worth every penny

    it's the kind of psychedelic record which would have mass-appeal with the VG+ generation

    Just to deflect the attention from XXX a bit

    http://search-completed.ebay.co.uk/s...p=1%26fsoo%3D1

    At least XXX sells some records I'd be interested in owning, rather than a load of common classic rock shite.

    Bloody hell! Looks like being over-enthusiastic and going into detail that your average trainspotter would find tedious actually does the trick. Are Beatles fans really that sad?? Jesus - this almost confirms John Harris' point about collectors................sorry, no it doesn't. He's still a twat!!

    How the heck did someone pay £204 for FREE Tons Of Sobs LP UK PINK RIM ISLAND 1970 MINT. It's simply not worth that, and can be picked up for way less. Crazy prices. People with lotsa money, obviously, and not much .... vladislav

    Is it that time of year again when we have a go at Geesdee? The boring little man must take some pleasure in it.

    Crosby Stills & Nash DEBUT LP 1st UK PRESS 1969 Nr.MINT £206.00

    You really have to wonder about the idiots out there. If only they could bid on my auctions.
