THE MARKETTS \ OUT OF LIMITS 1964.
Bio . The Marketts were formed in 1961 by Michael Z. Gordon in Los Angeles, California. Originally spelled, “Mar-kets”, Gordon penned and co-produced their first release, “Surfer’s Stomp” (under the pseudonym Michael Daughtry), which became an instant national hit for Gordon and his group. In reality, they were something of an all-purpose contemporary instrumental group with elements of surf, rock, pop, and even easy listening. And they were not really a group, but a fluid collection of Los Angeles session musicians, working under the direction of producer Joe Saraceno. Their first song was released on Union Records, but they were immediately signed by Al Bennet, president of Liberty Records, and came through with another national surfing hit, “Balboa Blue”.
The group then attracted the attention of Warner Brothers Records which signed them to a long-term contract with co-producer, Joe Saraceno. Gordon then composed their first release on WB Records, “Outer Limits”, (later changed to “Out Of Limits”), which soared to the top of the charts and earned the group their first BMI Award for instrumental of the year. The record was so successful that the song has been used in television and films including, “Pulp Fiction” (1994), Saturday Night Live, (1975), “The Name Of The Game Is Kill” (1968), “Slayground” (1983, “The Outsiders” (1983, Mafioso: The Father, The Son (2004) and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
