Jim Messina & The Jesters US Reissue Promo LP EX ’73 Thimble TLP3 Garage Surf

Rare US Reissue Promo LP released in 1973 on Thimble Records. Cat: TLP3.
Early in his career right at the outset, in fact 18-year-old Jim Messina was a devotee of surf music, enamored of the music of Dick Dale, the Champs et al. The Jesters was among his early professional efforts, a surf band that included, along with Messina, Bill Beckman and Ron House on guitars, Jim Sholstedt on bass, Dave Archuleta on saxophone, and Larry Cundieff on drums. They won a lot of local band competitions in California, where the competition in the field was still fierce in 1965 and 1966, and were good enough to get to record an entire LP for Audio Fidelity. It was re-released on the Thimble label in the mid-1970's, to capitalize on Messina's success as one half of Loggins & Messina.
