Description
Available here is an collectible, rare 45 - "Moon Dawg / LSD-25" by The Gamblers, released in 1960 on World Pacific Records (X-815).
The Gamblers were an American surf rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1959. Distinguished by their vocal harmonies and early instrumental surf songs, the Gamblers are one of the first influential musical acts that recorded surf music, a genre popularized initially in Southern California. The group, lead by primary songwriter Derry Weaver, recorded the "Moon Dawg!" single in late 1959, acknowledged as the first known surf record released, and covered by West Coast groups such as the Beach Boys. In 1961, the group disbanded but its members, including Elliot Ingber, Larry Taylor, Bruce Johnston, and Sandy Nelson went on to have successful music careers of their own.
The vinyl shows some hairlines and a bit of scuffing on each side, nothing egregious. Plenty of gloss. It has been play tested and has no skips, no overpowering noise. Both labels are complete, with a little ring wear and a prior owner's name written on one label. Comes in a Licorice Pizza (remember that record store?) paper sleeve. Smoke-free home.
