Description
This is a an extremely rare 5 by The Torndaoes: "Moon Dawg" b/w "The Inebriated Surfer" (Aertaun 102). Released in 1964. Aertaun is the label The Tornadoes released their 3 other singles: "Bustin' Surfboards"/"Beyond the Surf" (Aertaun 100), "The Gremmie, Part I"/"The Gremmie, Part II" (Aertaun 101), and "The Phantom Surfer"/"Shootin' Beavers" (Aertaun 103--later reissued with the less offensive B-side title, "Lightnin'"). Both songs come from the "Bustin' Surfboards" LP, released on Josie Records.
"Moon Dawg" was written by Derry Weaver (listed on the label as Dairy Weaver), and was first recorded by The Gamblers (featuring the brilliant bassist Larry Taylor, future member of the Mothers of Invention Elliot Ingbar, and future member of the Beach Boys Bruce Johnston). The version recorded by The Tornadoes was engineered by Frank Zappa.
Record is in VG/VG+ condition. The "Moon Dawg" side has some light scuffs. The flip side has far fewer scuffs. Both sides have nice gloss, and both sides have clean labels with no writing, stickers, or tears. Overall, a really nice copy.
