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. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity 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. 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 become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

Jim Messina led a savage group of fellow surf devotee friends to record
The Dragsters, a 1964 album full of fierce, fiery, and infectious surf rock jammers with just enough sounds from the Hollywood Strip to get your motor running!
The rarest part of this package,
well may be the original double sided inner sleeve included, almost snagged for my own personal copy without, but ...
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 -- 16-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, was a raw surfy garage 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 secure a record deal, yeah, an entire LP for Audio Fidelity.
- This clean artifact by far harder to find than the revered 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 issue.
