Records I Stole From My Father - Pt.3

The Turtles - 'A Walk In The Sun' 1965

I re-borrowed this from my parent's house just the other week. The actual vinyl has "signs of play, but would make a good DJ copy" (ie. it's scratched to hell, but doesn't skip). Lead singer Howard Kaylan looks extra grumpy and just slightly out-of-place standing next to the other mop-topped group members on the album cover. The LP is bandwagonesque Californian folk-rock (there's three Bob Dylan covers), but stands up really well. Before transforming into The Turtles, the group was a surf-rock combo called The Crossfires.
