Leader Of The Pack (Vinyl LP)

The Shangri-Las had several pop hits in the early 1960s with melodramatic songs full of runaway girls and bad boys who were sinking fast, and a general cast of despair, disapproval, and even death. Songs like “Leader of the Pack,” the urgent, insistent “Out in the Streets,” “Remember (Walkin’ in the Sand),” and “He Cried” (a remake of Jay & the Americans’ “She Cried” that ups the emotional stakes considerably) were hardly cheerful, and in retrospect, they’re actually quite eerie, full of sound effects and set in broad, echoing, and even ominous soundscapes.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
