Description
This is an incredible copy of one of the rarest American Surf Rock Records, the pressing was limited to only 1000 copies! Based on the appearance of the record it appears unplayed, perhaps never played for 50 years! It has zero scratches or dings - no marks at all on the playing surface. It's also not warped and the labels are perfect, black printing on orange labels. The cover is in fantastic shape as well, no scratches or stains, there is a tiny crease on the bottom right corner - extremely minor, still in overall nearly mint condition! The inner paper sleeve is blank, but interesting how two of the corners were accidentally folded when the record was put in the cover and you can see how the fold marks stayed whiter than the rest of the paper that turned yellow due to aging! It is fascinating. This band featured sons of Hollywood celebrities and notably Pete Lewis went on to be a member of Moby Grape! Here is information from the Wikipedia page about the band: Members:
- Peter Lewis, lead guitar; is the son of Loretta Young and screenwriter Tom Lewis. He was later a member of Moby Grape, and subsequently developed a career as a solo artist, which continues to this day.
- Bob Linkletter, rhythm guitar; son of Art Linkletter
- Jim O'Keefe, saxophone; son of Dennis O'Keefe, a famous All-American footballer and 40s & 50s movie leading man
- Charlie Correll, drums; son of Charlie Correll, who portrayed Andy on the Amos and Andy radio program
- Tom Crumplar, bass; The only member without a famous parent
I bought this record at a garage sale in Santa Monica (West Los Angeles) and never played the record to preserve it - as soon as I opened it I noticed how old it is, so then I looked it up on the internet to find out it's very rare! I will package the record safely for shipping if it sales.
