Description

This auction is for a rare 8" diameter single-sided 45 RPM Mono acetate LP by the famous 1960's rock group The Association. All it says on the taped-on paper label is "Along Comes Mary- Curt & Tandyn." This song was on the group's 1966 LP "And Then... Along Comes The Association." I found this album along with four other Association acetates that I have also put up on eBay at this time. I beleive that some of these recordings might be very rare, as there are mention of alternate versions on some of the labels. please check out my other auctions for these records! Due do the delicate nature of acetates, I have not tried to play them, but they all look like they are in at least VG++ condition and would play great. If you have any questions, please ask! No reserve! Buyer pays $5 Priority mail s&h anywhere in the United States. I accept money orders, Paypal, and personal checks (although I reserve the right to wait for them to clear). Thank you and good luck!

I have been contacted by former Association band member Jules Alexander who has informed me that this record is "THE" first demo record for "Along Comes Mary" and probably the only one in existence. He said that this was the very record he heard in 1966 that made him say he wanted to use it for his band, The Association. He told me:

"What I think is on the acetate is the recording that I played on for the publishing company that published "Mary", along with the writer, Tandyn Almer on keyboard and I can't remember who on bass."

Jules also said that:

"The 'Curt' is Curt Boettcher, producer of the track, and later the producer of The Assoc.. I think at the time Curt and Tandyn were sharing a house, along with a small rock and roll army, so they made only one acetate for them to share."

That would make this acetate THE ONLY original demo recording for this classic song!
