Description
This is a 1963 release on Earsa records by THE LANCERS,SELF TITLED.In June of 1963, five guys set up their equipment in the band room of Balboa High School and Junior College in the Panama Canal Zone. An engineer from the local Armed Forces radio station carefully positioned a couple of expensive mics, each one direct-wired to a single channel of a two-track Ampex recorder. As the group warmed up, the engineer listened through his headphones, moved mics, listened some more, finally arriving at an acceptable mix. There would be no re-mix after these songs were laid to tape.It was the same “live-to-tape” process a mop-haired, oddly named British group had used just a few months earlier when they recorded to a glorious three tracks in a world-class studio in London.
The Lancers' song list for this recording date was made up of mostly original instrumentals in the style of the guitar group, The Ventures, whose “Walk, Don’t Run” had been a big hit.Bob Taylor bought his top of the line Fender Jazzmaster because The Ventures had used it on their records.The piano you hear was an old school upright pulled out from the wall to be played by Bob and Ed Idol, who doubled on bongos and latin percussion.Ralph Smith's drum set was set up near the piano.Close to the back wall, a single Gretch amp carried both rhythm and lead guitars. Near the right mic, Gene Linfors played clarinet, sax and flute.The Lancers were a kind of “surf band with a wind player! .The record is in Near Mint playing condition-clean and scratch free.The album cover is Excellent.Winner pays $4 shipping in USA.I will combine shipping costs on multiple wins.
