THE SQUIRES
The Sultan
1963 Canada 7” single

So, THIS is probably the most sought after Canadian 45 ever.

My good friend (& former guitar player) is the owner of my local shop. He’s been in business for 40 years, and has seen a lot of shit. But he had never seen THIS.
Until now.

THIS is the very first issued recording that Neil Young EVER wrote and played on. It’s also the first song of his that Neil ever heard on the radio.

It has yet to be cleaned, but it is in VERY good shape, and is worth THOUSANDS of dollars. 💰💰
Very special thanks to Steve for allowing me to take a picture of it to show you guys.

Musically, this is pure instrumental surf rock. The story is that the band decided to go singer-less because they hated Neil’s voice. 😂

It’s a fabulous piece of history, and point ZERO of a remarkable, historical career.

Whoever buys it is truly getting a RARE gem.
