Description
Here is an amazing garage/psych rock LP from Montreal, Canada called "The Haunted."
This is an original Canadian first pressing from 1967.
Trans World mono deep groove 6701.
Top ten in Canada for rarity, top three for sound.
For fans of the early Stones, Pretty Things and the Ugly Ducklings. Album features the classics "1-2-5" and "St. Louis Blues" (later retitled "Montreal Blues") and nutso versions of Love's "Message to Pretty" and the Stones' "Out of Time". Nine tracks in all.
All the lyrics are sung in English with snotty disdain.
"From the snowy depths of Sixties Montreal come The Haunted."
"This is a classic slice of Canadian garage-rock."
"Their single "1-2-5", featured in the Pebbles series, was phenomenal."
"Early Canadian pioneers of long hair, distorted guitars, and light shows, The Haunted showed that you could be successful while remaining in Canada."
"The printers forgot to use the color yellow, and as a result both yellow and green are missing on the cover print on all original Haunted albums."
Estimated press run of only 1000 copies. Many haven't survived the last 41 years.
Extremely rare.
Please note: The vinyl has numerous marks, mostly surface, that make low noise. Does not skip on either of my turntables.
The good news is that these guys are so loud that they drown out the low noise almost completely.
Plays great.
The cover is has pen markings (see photo) near the upper left corner and the bottom of the cover has a split that runs about 3/4's it's length. Otherwise pretty damn nice condition for a record this old and rare.
A great rare piece of Canadian garage history.
