USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW UP FOR SALE.

THE JODIMARS CONSISTED OF JOEY D'AMBROSIA, DICK RICHARDS AND MARSHALL LYTLE (HENCE THE ADAPTATION OF JO DI MARS) ALL ORIGINALLY MEMBERS OF BILL HALEY'S COMETS. THE STORY THAT HAS BEEN TOLD OVER THE YEARS IS THAT WHILST BILL HALEY WAS MAKING LOADS OF MONEY AFTER THE ERUPTION OF ROCK'N'ROLL MUSIC HE WAS ONLY PAYING THE BAND MEMBERS UNION RATES. THE THREE ASKED FOR A RAISE IN SALARY WHICH HALEY REFUSED SO THE THREE WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN AND STARTED THE JODIMARS. TRUE OR NOT? I DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN SAY FOR CERTAIN. IN ANY CASE THE THREE QUIT THE COMETS AND FORMED THE JODIMARS. DICK RICHARDS EX-COMET DRUMMER ASPIRED TO VOCALS AND WAS REPLACED BY JIM BUFFINGTON ON DRUMS. BOB SIMPSON WAS RECRUITED TO "TINKLE" THE IVORIES ALONG WITH CHARLIE HESS WHO BECAME LEAD GUITARIST. JOEY D'AMBROSIA REMAINED ON TENOR-SAX AND MARSHALL LYTLE RETAINED HIS POSITION ON STRING BASS.

THE GROUP WAS SIGNED TO CAPITOL RECORDS AND ALL THE TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM WERE RECORDED FOR THE LABEL BETWEEN NOVEMBER 1955 AND JANUARY 1957. THOUGH THEY BECAME A VERY POPLULAR HOT ATTRACTION ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE STATES, FAME...A LA BILL HALEY...ELUDED THEM AND BY MID 1957 THEY HAD DISBANDED.

THIS ALBUM IS A 1970 RE-ISSUE COMPILATION OF THE MANY OF TRACKS RECORDED FOR CAPITOL AND CONTAINS SOME ABSOLUTE ROCKERS. THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY MINOR WEAR ALONG THE EDGES AND A COUPLE OF CORNERS AND A COUPLE OF VERY MINOR CREASES ALONG THE SPINE. THE RECORD IS GRADED AS NEAR MINT. COPIES OF THIS RECORD DO NOT APPEAR TO BE UP FOR SALE IN AUSTRALIA BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL AVAILABLE INTERNATIONALLY AND ARE STARTING TO ATTRACT HIGH PRICES AS WELL AS HIGH POSTAGE COSTS TO AUSTRALIA.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1 - Well Now Dig This / Dance The Bop / Let's All Rock Together / (Boom Boom) My Bayou Baby / Eat Your Heart Out Annie / Lotsa Love. Side 2 - Rattle My Bones / Rattle Shakin' Daddy / Clara-Bella / Midnight (inst.) / Cloud 99 / Later.
