THE MARSADEES SELF TITLED LP ORIGINAL 1967 PRESSING JUSTICE RECORDING CO JLP-150 As anyone who collects Justice albums knows, pretty much everything on this obscure label is rare, but 1967 s The Marsadees is in a league by itself. Mega-collector Hans Pokora lists this one as a five star rarity in his 1001 Record Collector Dreams reference book. Supposedly only 100 copies made, unknown how many still exist. I guarantee you will have a very hard time finding one in any condition but extremely hard to find a VG copy. Discogs lists that there are only 4 owned by discogs members.
Some very fine surf/garage sounds featuring reverb soaked and twangy guitars and surf drums. Unlike many Justice label acts, little bibliographical information is actually available on this group. The band formed in 1964, friends attending Lexington High School in Lexington, South Carolina. The band line up featured rhythm guitarists Bobby Arehart and Larkin Corley, Larry Ingram on drums, Dennis Steele on lead guitar, Stack Harmon and Bobby Arehart vocals. Like so many other groups, they enjoyed a bit of local success playing local parties and dances the LP photos look like they were snapped during a performance in a high school auditorium . Those successes apparently led the group to decide to record a self-financed album on Justice - 1967 s The Mersadees .
We are Hardy Boys Records in Mint Hill, NC follow us on Instagram if interested . This record came into the shop recently and we were shocked to see it- especially in this condition. We have taken well-lighted photos to help you see exactly what you are getting. Any scratches you see are almost non even noticeable with play. You may hear an occasional light crackle, but nothing that would distract from your listening experience- I have recorded the song on B1 take a little love to demonstrate this: .
This song is where you hear the most light scratches on the record- so this will be the WORST listening experience you ll get from this LP. The labels are NM. Beautiful labels.
The cover we graded as VG only because there is the beginning of a seam split on the top right of the record that is around an inch see photo . The front and back covers are in excellent condition.
Shipping will be 10 and will be fully insured and well packaged. If shipping is outside of US, or costs more due to your remote location- buyer will pay actual shipping costs. Questions welcomed.
