About this Item

Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm record album, Bang 211, very-good-plus vinyl in a good-only cardboard jacket. With a couple of exceptions (the Stones' "Satisfaction") this is an album of tunes by Feldman, Goldstein & Gottehrer, produced by Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer. The three performers shown to the cover with the African drums, identified as Australian sheepherders Miles, Niles and Giles Strange, who grew independently wealthy by registering "the now famous longhair sheep known as the Gottehrer sheep"? What are the chances they may actually be record producers Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer? As producers, they'd scored a hit in 1963 with the Angels' "My Boyfriend's Back." But by 1964, the girl group sound in which FGG Productions specialized was going out of fashion, due to the British Invasion. Deciding that they could not convincingly fake British accents, they opted to pretend to be Australians sheep-herders, Gottehrer later telling Bill Kopp of "Record Collector": "Nobody in the US in 1965 really knew any Australians." By early 1966, the lineup performing as "The Strangeloves" on tour were FGG studio musicians guitarist Jack Raczka (Giles Strange), drummer/vocalist Joe Piazza (Miles Strange), and keyboardist/ vocalist Ken Jones (Niles Strange). Their songs have since been recorded by David Bowie, Bauhaus, The J. Geils Band, The Fleshtones, Aaron Carter, George Thorogood, and Bow Wow Wow. Now reduced from $17.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

While we mark down our unsold books on a regular basis, our "BEST PRICE" on any given day is the price posted. We purposely avoid selling on the "Make me an offer" auction sites, where every book is "acceptable" and paperback reprints of "The Great Gatsby" bearing ISBNs and barcodes are listed as "published 1925." And we DECLINE to jack up our prices by 20 percent so we can offer every supplicant a supposed 10 or 15 percent "discount," thus turning anyone who simply pays our asking price into a ...

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 lbs., or 1 kg. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. Please make sure your e-mail program will accept such an inquiry from an ABE Books address. "SHIPPING RATE" is a small pull-down menu at ABE. Media mail is the default setting; you may choose "Priority," which costs more but carries some automatic insurance protection, if you wish. To keep our basic shipping rate competitive, we do not routinely pay out of pocket to insure books valued under $50. HOWEVER (SIGNATURE REQUIRED): We now ship all parcels valued at $90 or more "signature required," at our expense. Customers are responsible to provide a secure shipping address. In the case of shipments valued over $90. Should no adult signer be available when the mailman calls, buyers should be on the lookout for a "notice of attempt to deliver." We ship in boxes -- not plastic bags. In our experience, deliveries to France, Italy and Western Australia can take from three to 13 weeks, regardless of shipping method. We cannot control Customs delays in such countries, the luxurious seasonal vacation schedules of government functionaries, nor the proudly announced preference of Australian postal authorities to spend a week shipping even "Priority" packages across the continent from Sydney to Perth by truck -- camels apparently not being consistently available.
