Description
Fresh from a local estate is this rare old LP by the Lexington, South Carolina band THE MARSADEES. The Justice Recording Company release is in overall VG condition with some wear visible at the corners as shown. The bottom edge has a split that goes approx. 3/4 of the way across.
We found the following info on the band: The Marsadees was a quintet from Lexington, S.C., who performed primarily instrumental rock, focusing on surf music ("Little Honda, " "Pipeline, " "Lonely Sea") with a few vocal numbers, and even an occasional original ("Palisade"). Their line-up consisted of Larry Ingram (drums), Bobby Arehart (rhythm guitar), Larkin Conley (rhythm guitar), Dennis Steele (lead guitar), and Stack Harmon (bass).
Bassist Stack Harmon (now a pharmicist) remembers that they got together in 1963-64, doing mostly surf instrumentals and white rock 'n roll, and later added some popular r&b material (Drifters etc.). The Marsadees later evolved into a shag-music band, complete with horns, and the members were all still working into the 1970's. By 1976, he and several of the other former members were part of an outfit called Mama's Home cooking, which was still working as of the end of the 1990's-they not only played locally but toured the United States as far away as Hawaii. Harmon was good enough on his instrument to be asked back into the band more than a decade after he left the music business. In 1968 or 1969, the members of the Marsadees, long since in another band, charted a regional hit with "I Need Your Loneliness, " cut for the Arthur Smith studio in Charlotte, N.C.
