The Ultimate Collectors Edition 1963-1965

In 1963, David Marks was a very busy 15 year-old. As if touring all over the US and recording 4 hit LPs with his band The Beach Boys wasn't enough, David also began recording his original music with his own band. By the end of that year, Marks abandoned the Beach Boys and focused solely on The Marksmen. The band was first signed to A&M Records and then later, by Warner Brothers; however, they suffered at the hands of a revenge-seeking Murray Wilson (Beach Boys manager and father of the Wilson brothers), who all but killed the growing momentum of the promising act. For those who've heard these lost gems, David Marks is revered for his progressive hybrid of South Bay Surf with early British Invasion influences that was way ahead of its time. For the first time on CD, the first ever lost solo album by a Beach Boy, complete with guest appearance by The Honeys, is now available!  more
