The Alloys-No One But You b/w Love Me Forever 7?
1981-DB RecordsHere?s a previously unknown rarity from the Chicago suburb of Aurora, IL. A self-released Power Pop/Rock 45 by this young high school band, ages 14-17. They say they just wanted to be the next Beatles, but we think this is a great slice of under-produced teen-angst rock. The rockin' thud of ?No One But You? is the obvious hit here, but ?Love Me Forever? is no slouch when it comes to a ?60s-style, shuffling ballad.
The single never had any distribution outside the Chicago area, and it was even very limited around those parts. Pretty much any copy that got sold was done so to a friend at high school or at one of their few local live gigs. Sales were probably a hundred or so, with much of the stock long since tossed out by ex-band members and their manager.
Have a listen to samples of both sides here: http://www.divshare.com/download/24469185-833(Note, these samples are off my old used copy, not one of the unplayed ones offered here)
CONDITION NOTES: Although we obtained the last remaining unplayed copies, none of them are Mint. I?d venture to guess a Minty copy probably doesn't exist. These were stored in a brown grocery bag, in a basement for 20+ years. All of the thin paper sleeves are yellowed and all have some edge/corner wear and creasing. Most of them have some other storage wear, too. The cleanest copies of the vinyl are clean but a bit dusty. They are flat and play great. Those are matched up with the cleanest sleeves. Some type of rose powder or other garden chemical got dumped on the bag by "Mom" at some point years ago and it hit a handful of copies. It cleaned up pretty well, but some vinyl has dust scuffs/wear from that or just dust. The B-class copies are these or ones with other minor storage/dust wear. We also have some lesser copies for those who aren't condition freaks, which are still unplayed but have scuffing, marks, etc on the vinyl. The sleeves have more wear as well. Some of these have just scuffs/marks on one side with the other being clean. We have a handful of each grade available and we'll fill orders with the cleanest copies first.
We've priced accordingly, but the grades on each group are general for the group. Even the VG-/VG C-grade copies should clean up and play pretty well

The Images-Jackie?s Back/Secret Image b/w Tears In My Eyes 7?
1985-Image RecordsAnother obscure, self-released Power Pop 45 from Illinois. This one's from Waukegan, IL, which is about halfway between Chicago and the WI border. The Images were never really a functioning band. This was a studio project recorded by one high school senior, with his sophomore friend handling drum duties. They recorded and pressed the 45 in 1985. 500 (at most) believed to be pressed.
It was never issued in a picture sleeve, although some copies have copyright info typed or handwritten on the dust sleeve. Some also have a contact address. Others were sold in plain white sleeves. Like most other private press releases, this single had no real distribution. Copies were mainly sold to friends, sent out for review and some possibly sold through stores in the Chicago area.
We are please to offer the very last of the dead stock copies the Images had in storage. Once these are gone, they?re gone. Most of the copies we have are in plain sleeves, but we do have some with either handwritten or typed copyright info. We?ll fill orders with the copies that have info on the sleeve until we run out. All vinyl is unplayed with minor storage dust.
