Description
Here is an amazing top psych gem from Canada called "The Haunted."
This is a guaranteed original Canadian first pressing from 1967.
Trans World mono deep groove 6701.
Top ten in Canada for rarity, top three for sound.
Anyone who thinks that Canada didn't make any great rock records needs to hear this. These young punks from Montreal really kick keister.
Fans of the early Stones and the Ugly Ducklings will love this.
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."
"Although a few songs are slower, when they rock they really rock."
"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.
I've been crate digging in Canada all my life and this is the first one I have seen. Extremely rare.
The vinyl has numerous marks, mostly surface, that make low noise.
The good news is that these guys are so loud that they drown out the low noise almost completely.
Plays great.
The cover is very nice, with only light creases and light wear on the back.
This record often sells for over a thousand dollars.A great rare piece of Canadian garage history.
