THE DEUCE COUPES

HOTRODDER'S CHOICE

1963 STEREO LP

DEL-FI RECORDS
DFST 1243

More hot rod/dragstrip music from the Deuce Coupes, one of two groups from the same time period with that name. The Del-Fi version of the Deuce Coupes grew out of the Avantis, formed by brothers Lolly Vegas and Pat Vegas, who would go on to fame in the 1970s as Redbone. The duo recorded Hot Rodder's Choice as the Deuce Coupes backed by a group of crack L.A. session players, including Glen Campbell, Hal Blaine, Tommy Tedesco, and Leon Russell. By 1965 the bottom had dropped out of the hot rod boom, and the brothers Vegas dropped the Deuce Coupes name and moved on to other ventures. The album was reissued twice by Del-Fi (once in 1994 on CD, again in 1996 on LP) but original 1966 copies are worth a whole lot more. Speaking of being worth a whole lot more, once again this is a a case of the stereo version of the album being worth a whole lot more than the mono version. At the time stereo records cost more than mono so less of them were sold, and consequently, they're rarer. (A few years later that would flip-flop.)

Cover is EXCELLENT with only a little tiny bit of corner wear. Vinyl looks like it might only be a VG with some surface marks but plays a strong VG+ (completely tested) so that's what I'm grading it.
