Description

One of the earliest surf 45 AND mention of “LSD 25” - produced by Nick Venet and look at this lineup which includes future members of The Mothers of Invention and Canned Heat (from the Derry Weaver website):  Sometime during 1960, an instrumental single of superb quality and lasting impact was issued on the World Pacific label (# X 815) by The Gamblers : 'Moon Dawg' b/w 'LSD-25'. The group consisted of Derry Weaver (lead guitar), Larry Taylor (bass), Bruce Johnston (piano), Elliot Ingbar (rhythm guitar) and Rod Schaffer (drums). Written by Derry, 'Moon Dawg' was an instant classic - a blasting guitar rocker with a stunning drum intro and some nice dog howls courtesy of Nick Venet who 'arranged & directed' according to what was written on the record label : 'Nicky didn't arrange anything except the deal with World Pacific in exchange for the publishing. We'll let him have that one. He also did the dog howl. Great job. We were all standing around the mike singing 'ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah' and Nick howled. Great overdub ! One take'. As far as I know, 'Moon Dawg' has never appeared in stereo on later compilations such as the brilliant Japanese 'Golden Summer -Vol. 2' (CP32-5877) and it has always been credited to Derry Weaver except on The Beach Boys' 'Surfin' Safari' LP (Capitol LP T/ST 1808) where the writer credits went to... Nick Venet ! The excellent flip, co-written by Weaver and Taylor, was a moody, bluesier affair : 'Yes, it was about a drug that made mice chase cats. It was being experimented with at some universities. It was made from rye bread. I never got into any drugs'.

This copy has scuffs and marks and  is somewhere between vg to a very low vg+ but plays vg+, there is writing on the “Moon Dawg!” label side.
