Things I Should Have Said/ Tip Of My Tongue

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Dunhill factory sleeve. This was the group's followup to their Garage hit (their first Top 10 single), "Let's Live For Today." The A side is a more Power Pop affair, but you can hear the grunge still part of the Grass Roots defining sound on the excellent B side. Note: These copies grade Near Mint overall. All of them have a touch of light ringwear on the labels, and the vinyl, though it appears untouched, has a mild, no-impact warp. I apologize for the audio on these copies, but frankly I think the fault is the inferior vinyl used for this pressing. In all of my more than 40 years of collecting and selling, I've never found a copy of this particular pressing that has Mint audio. Perhaps one day I'll run across a styrene pressing that hasn't been damaged and hear this music without the very light but persistent surface noise that even new, unplayed vinyl pressings like these display. I'm grading the audio Near Mint, though it's at the low end of the Near Mint range because of the vinyl's inherent noise. The music itself is strong and undistorted and mostly overwhelms the surface noise after the intro.
