Yetti-Men "Yetti-men" 1964

Here's a rare and understandably scratchy record for you: Yetti-men midwest surf from 1964" - MayorMike"On the frozen shores of Lake Minnetonka, in the darkest hours of the night, when the shriek of the snowmobiles has been hushed, the locals say that if you listen long enough you can still hear the cry of the fabled Yettimen echoing off the surrounding hills, and over the icy snowpack... Close your eyes and listen hard, and you too might hear..."
Five young Minnetonka men about to make history... or at the very least, some gnarly surf music. Very little is known about the group today. The line-up consisted of: Lee Hanson (lead guitar), Henry "Skip" Webster (rhythm guitar), Joel Peterson (bass), Brian Mahin (sax, keyboards), and Jim Robinson (drums). Lacking in big promotion and executive pull, the boys recorded right here, in the Minnetonka High School auditorium, in early 1964. At least six tracks were laid on tape in February and March. These were: High Himalaya, Wine Wine Wine, My Baby Left Me, Blue Surfer, and two instrumentals: Yep, and Break Time. These six songs were then taken by Mike Kramer and David Leitzman to the Kay Bank Pressing Plant in Minneapolis, to be immortalized on vinyl. The end result was an album (well, half of an album to be precise) on the KAL label. The Yettimen would share billing with a folk group, The Uppa Trio, whose songs would fill the other side of the lp. -The Beachcomber, a.k.a., Troy McClure / more info at: http://www.lakeminnetonka.com/13historyyettimen.html
