Description

      LABEL .......... EXCELLENT

     DISC .............. EXCELLENT  
  

     
  THE NOVA LOCAL45  "JOHN KNIIGHT'S BODY (I WANNA GET OUT)" (Randy Winburn) b/w "OTHER GIRLS" (R Winburn) (Decca Records 32194). Released 1967.

        
      
    This was acquired with a great group of late 60s promo 45s which have been played very little, if at all!!  It was still in its original stock sleeve with no visible wear on the label apart from an "X" has been written on one side, probably by the record company to mark that as the A-side. Ambitious song structure on both sides! A fairly healthy-looking disc with a small amount of wear.

  Original pressing with vintage pink Decca promo label. The title appears to be some allusion to the song "John Brown's Body."  Produced by Len Chandler & Eliot Mazer. (Stamped matrix number: "45 119343 2").


The Nova Local was a psychedelic pop band formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in 1964, initially under the name The Shadows.[1] It comprised singer Randy Winburn, guitarists Joe Mendyk and Phil Lambeth, bassist Jim Opton, keyboardist Cam Schinhan and drummer Bill Levasseur. Their single "If You Only Had the Time", released in 1967, was a minor hit in North Carolina. They recorded one album, Nova 1 (released on Decca Records in 1968 in the United States), shortly before disbanding. The album was also released in Canada and in the United Kingdom.[2] According to Opton, the album was the first ever recorded using the Dolby NR system.[3]  (from Wikipedia)

From markprindle.com:

Many people feel that Chapel Hill, North Carolina's The Nova Local's name is a take-off on William Burroughs' Nova Express. These people may have a point. Let's not write these people off so quickly. For example, have you heard their second single, "John Knight's Body"? Until a couple of days ago, I hadn't. But now that I have, I'm almost certain it's not about the murder of Chicago policeman John Knight by James Scott in 1999. Nevertheless. it's an exciting epic of a tale, with the narrator being (wrongly?) arrested for the murder due to his name being on a piece of paper in Mr. Knight's pocket. I'm not exactly sure why that would be enough to convict a man, but then I don't really understand what in God's Hell the song is talking about. Unirregardlessly, it's an AWESOME song. Awesome and weird. It starts with a really cool, evil bit of clicky-clicky bass/guitar interplay and develops into an emotional plea from the condemned: "I Wanna Get Out!" Along the way, the song starts and stops and herks and changes and jerks nervously/not smoothly at all before ending with the clinks of a jailhouse door lock. The strangest aspect of this eerie, sorrowful and (at only 2:16) FAR too short epic is nearly buried in the background, but listen closely and you'll hear it: a jovial, bouncy barroom piano playing a goodtime happy little jigaroo! I had the delightful fortune to interview original Nova Local guitarist and attorney Phil Lambeth on this strange dramatic/carefree musical dichotomy and he explained, "They brought in a session pianist and he just played whatever and I guess they left it in." EXACTLY how Sgt. Peppers happened!!!!!!!


   DISC - EXCELLENT

  A one-inch area of many hairline flecks. Very faint ticks from this blemish. But it's a really rich-sounding recording. The rest of the disc has superb-looking grooves. No warps,or residue on the platter surface.  Excellent reflective surface sheen.



  LABEL - EXCELLENT

   Some writing on the A-side-that's it! No marks, tears, water damage, color fading, bubbles, stickers, scuffs, stains, cut-out marks or any other blemishes. Sharp print, rich color. This item has apparently been set aside since manufacture, so it has no sun wash-out or shelf wear. Nobody has been flipping their fingers over this piece,
