The War Lords were from somewhere around Chicago, probably south, like in the Champaign-Urbana area. This record came out in 1966 on Thor 810T-0759. This song was written by T Jacobs and J Popelka. The Flip side is a song called “Real Fine Lady” that is also very good (and available on compilation CD’s). Both promo (white) and stock (red) copies were issued. Less than ten of these are known to still exist. If you find one, it’s worth well over a thousand dollars.

Now you know everything I know about these guys! If you have any more information about them, I’d love to hear it. In the meantime, why don’t you hear something from them? Here’s I’ve Got It Bad by The War Lords:

Hope you’re enjoying the variety on MusicMaster Oldies! Stay tuned. There’s even more cool stuff coming in 2012.
