Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ORIGINAL MID '60s FIRST PRESS RARE TOP COPY ~ RIPPING REVERB GUITARS THROTTLE.....
..
Jim Messina and His JESTERS
THE DRAGSTERS
USA - AUDIO FIDELITY - DFS 7037 - STEREOPHONIX
Highly recommended to '60s collectors::::
Original...TOP COPY ... mid '60s FIRST PRINT ... so hard to find THIS CLEAN, for even if it is located, good luck finding a copy NOT trashed ... here a final collection copy!
One of the true lost classics of primitive garage/surf. The complete album is a High-Energy recording with background shouting and highlighted by "Yang Bu" being one of the best "Misirlou" rip-offs ever and a prime atmospheric track for one of those off-beat Quentin Tarantino films ... SO, apparently Jim Messina is embarrassed by this stuff, which is pretty funny since it's heads and tails better than his later offerings (aka "Loggins & Messina", hitsville cash-in duo and sad music otherwise)
As far as Jimmy Messina goes...early in his career -- right at the outset, in fact -- 18-year-old Jim Messina was a devotee of revved up California surf music, enamored of the music of Dick Dale, the Champs et al. The Jesters was among his early professional efforts, a surfy gargage a-go-go band that included, along with Messina, Bill Beckman and Ron House on shimmering reverb guitars, Jim Sholstedt on bass, and Larry Cundieff on drums. They won a lot of local "Battle Of The Bands" competitions in California, where the competition in the field was VERY fierce in 1965 and 1966 -- yet Jim Messina & tHe Jesters were great enough to get to record an entire LP for Audio Fidelity. By far harder to find than the the Trashmen Lp and equally as solid throughout....
The release of this album was an impressive achievement for a teenager, but sad & unfairly, not much came of the record as the garage & surf bands boom having pretty much ended by the time of its release.
