The Revells - The go sound of the slots
Compact disc with music about little cars
After the story about the Slot Car Slut and The Exciting Sound of Model Road Racing, SlotcarAcademy.com presents another compact disc with music about little cars: The Revells with the Go sound of the Slots.
The Go sound of the Slots
The Revells featured on the 33 rpm album "The Go sound of the Slots". In fact, this was the third album of The Hondells, known from the typical Californian sound. The original album has been released in 1965 to celebrate "America's newest addiction, slot car racing". It is obvious that the Revell Model Company is behind this marketing product.
Recorders before Christmas 1964
The album "The Go sound of the Slots" was recorded at Western Recorders before Christmas 1964. Jimmy Bowen produced the album under license from Warner Bros. Records. Gary Usher was the session leader. The musicians were: Dick Burns (bass), Randy Thomas (keyboards), Jerry LeMire (guitar), Joe Kelly (percussion), Glenn Campbell (guitar), Richi Podolor (guitar), Bill Cooper (guitar), Tommy Tedesco (guitar), Richie Frost (drums), Chuck Girard (keyboards) and Hal Blaine (drums). No singles were called from this album, although The Revells got airplay in the summer of 1965.
