     SCAREM - "Feeling Grave"/"Misery"(7" 45 r.p.m. vinyl single private pressing recorded in 1980 and released in 1981 with no label name):  An Ohio hard rock trio that included then-current(guitarist LARRY NOTTINGHAM, who played on MISTREATER's 1980 "Hell's Fire"/"Baby Blue" single, its 1981 "Hell's Fire" LP, its song["Wizard Star"] on the 1984 various-acts "Cleveland's Heavy Metal:  Etched In Steel" LP, and its later "Swami" LP--but oddly enough, not on its song["Without You"] on the 1983 various-acts "Cleveland Metal" LP) and future(the bassist and the drummer on the "Swami" LP) members of MISTREATER.  This 7" has the same sound & production/recording quality as the "Hell's Fire" 7" and LP and also sounds similar stylistically to MISTREATER's early era, so I'm guessing that fans of those recordings will not be disappointed.  The main differences with this SCAREM single are the MUCH greater emphasis on the guitar work and a de-emphasis on lyrics.  Each song is guitar-dominated & guitar-centered and 75%+ instrumental, with a LOT more jam action and only one verse(which is short, with understated vocals) and no refrain.  This same band also released a 7" red-vinyl single in 1981 under the name SCARUM("Night Rider"/"Through The Looking Glass")(look at my other eBay listings--or contact me as specified below--to see all of the records I'm currently offering for sale by the bands I've mentioned here).

     After MISTREATER recorded its 7" in '80, & before it recorded the "Hell's Fire" LP in '81, SCAREM returned to the same Indiana studio(700 West) & cut these 2 winners in 1 day in '80, which were recorded & engineered by MO WHITTEMORE, JR.(he engineered or co-engineered the PRIMEVIL, ZERFAS,& "Hell's Fire" LPs at this same studio[& SAILOR also did its LP here]).  The "A" side of this SCAREM single has a :27 ominous-sounding bass-solo intro, then 1:00 guitar/bass combo action into steady, driving hard rock action for the remaining 3:00.  The "B" side has a  ballsy :12 guitar-solo intro into driving, steady hard rock with non-stop guitar action(the last 2:10=dual guitars).

     This is an UNPLAYED/LIKE NEW original U.S. 7" 45 r.p.m. vinyl single private pressing that I personally purchased directly from one of this band's former  members many years ago.  There is a minor edge warp that will not affect the playing of the record.  I guarantee that the item is in the condition described in this listing by offering a 100% money-back refund(including all postage costs) if the buyer disagrees.  The buyer must contact me within 14 days of receipt of the item & the item must be returned in the same condition.  Returns will not be accepted without my prior approval.  Because I cannot be responsible for packages that may be damaged or lost by the Post Office(s) after I have mailed them, no refunds will be given for packages that are not insured or registered.  That is the buyers' option, and buyers assume the risk and the responsibility for any packages sent that are not insured or registered.
