Description

Here is an obscure surf single by The Revels, doing "Vesuvius" b/w "Church Key" (Impact 1). Released in 1961.

Originally known as Gil Serna and the Rockets, The Revels formed in 1957 with Sam Eddy on piano, Gil Serna on lead vocals, Norman Knowles on saxophone, Dan Arnold on guitar, Jim Macrae on drums, and Brian England on bass. Gil Serna left the band in 1960 and was replaced by Dave Davis on guitar. Their first single was "Six Pack" b/w "Good Grief" first on the Lynn label, then again on the Swinging label. One of the band's last singles, "Soft Top" features a song on the flip written by Sam Eddy, "It's Party Time." The song also appears on the band's only LP, "Revels on a Rampage" (1LP-IMX). The band is perhaps best known for their version of the song "Comanche" which was featured in the Quentin Tarantino film, Pulp Fiction. 

Record is in strong VG condition. Labels are clean--just some marking on the A side. No stickers or tears. Some wear. Vinyl is has several light scuffs visible, but most of the original gloss is retained. Overall, a very nice copy.
