Alas, alack! I&#39;m back with a new post, still digging through boxes of records, and still scrounging around for good buys, although I haven&#39;t been too successful in the last year, but I still manage to obtain some very cool records, and a few surprises along the way. I&#39;ll admit that lately I&#39;ve been buying more L.P.s than 45&#39;s, and as usual, just looking for cool stuff as opposed to big ticket items. I think I mentioned in my last post my dismay at how expensive things have gotten, so I won&#39;t bore you with that rant again. But I do manage to obtain the records that my whims take me to, and that&#39;s a good thing. As far as 45&#39;s go, I bought a wad back in September, and will eventually get to posting those, after I get to the wad I bought in 2016!!!!! Seriously though, I still have LOTS to get to here, it&#39;s just a matter of me having enough &quot;down time&quot; to get it done. Right now I&#39;m home feeling very poorly, and that&#39;s the perfect time to convalesce, and knock out this particular post, chock full of cool goodies. While this may lack somewhat in hardcore garage/punk, it makes up for in eclectic value. Make sense? Sure. Now please enjoy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Underbeats - Route 66 / Foot Stompin (1964)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif-4weF7D9rGIhCtL-okLukFx86tlZoCPw0oJ9LuWs46BvSHVkx17vftTJa_MWRP9laNvolP98djlxXqJYBI38S3MO21yHM-jy43uYeRAq61IMwRMGawMzRWbFKnIOvhA183510wmODF135qNpikwHO5XGYWCMVGlMmPwHk53FR5iAKN-GX_UNyNQyNd4/s1140/underbeats%20route66.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1140&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1112&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif-4weF7D9rGIhCtL-okLukFx86tlZoCPw0oJ9LuWs46BvSHVkx17vftTJa_MWRP9laNvolP98djlxXqJYBI38S3MO21yHM-jy43uYeRAq61IMwRMGawMzRWbFKnIOvhA183510wmODF135qNpikwHO5XGYWCMVGlMmPwHk53FR5iAKN-GX_UNyNQyNd4/w390-h400/underbeats%20route66.jpg&quot; width=&quot;390&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I swear, anytime I see ANYTHING on Garrett, Soma, Bangar, Re-Car, Studio City or any of those other labels out of Minneapolis, I jump on it and this is one of my favorites.

Not too sure about this band&#39;s history, but judging from the looks of a few of the pictures I&#39;ve seen, they seem to be some kind of hokey lounge act. THIS IS MERELY SPECULATION! Please, no hate mail from Marv Dennis fans, they may have been the rockingest group in the mid-west for all I know, but judging from this 45, we certainly have a mixed bag here. Their cover of &quot;Honeycomb&quot; is better (IMHO) than the original, (not a fan), but the B side is low key horn driven pop music. Not horrible, but not overly great. I&#39;ll give this 45 a solid 6.5 out of 10. :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Erik &amp;amp; The Smoke Ponies - I&#39;ll Give You Love / From Where I&#39;m Standing (1967)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRUOMyPILkF7pBtOxW-YXmyS_Ba_6mVZ35L9w1souTIZO9SPdmbfoKystPtUKpY6QD9YR4D6bBBgEiRlHxdbNN3JYvTaCI5ZBvOJw6-NPsYLVamQFYR6TBmgkPSemf4r0rKKfx7rSulMidWh25Cq8QsDyR-wlrJSreViXSY4EN-LHshdgFUvF_WqA5qsU/s1122/erik%20smoke%20ponies.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1122&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1107&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRUOMyPILkF7pBtOxW-YXmyS_Ba_6mVZ35L9w1souTIZO9SPdmbfoKystPtUKpY6QD9YR4D6bBBgEiRlHxdbNN3JYvTaCI5ZBvOJw6-NPsYLVamQFYR6TBmgkPSemf4r0rKKfx7rSulMidWh25Cq8QsDyR-wlrJSreViXSY4EN-LHshdgFUvF_WqA5qsU/w395-h400/erik%20smoke%20ponies.jpg&quot; width=&quot;395&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Supposedly from Hempstead on Long Island, these guys put out this 45 on Kama Sutra, and &lt;i&gt;I guess, &lt;/i&gt;released one more on Cobblestone as simply, &quot;The Smoke Ponies&quot;. Maybe Erik got tossed out of the band????? I&#39;m not sure, but that Cobblestone release seems to be fetching big bucks. In any case, &quot;I&#39;ll Give You More&quot; is a fast moving number with some cool fuzzy guitar in the background and a prominent harmonica as well.

But when you grow up in a house where both parents spoke Italian on a daily basis, and still have relatives that do, records like this take on a somewhat different life. Not that this record is really special, in fact, it&#39;s pretty tame compared to some other Italian garage/punk classics, but I think this one deserves some attention. Both sides of this 45 are decent organ driven garage type sounds, nothing crazy, but like I said, they deserve some attention. Nico e I Gabbiani, translated to English is &quot;Nico And The Seagulls&quot;, Ora Sai translated is &quot;Now You Know&quot; and &quot;Parole&quot; translated is &quot;Words&quot;. There&#39;s your Italian lesson for the day!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Boots Walker - They&#39;re Here / A Bum Can&#39;t Cry (1967)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXyIG50wtrCAqQLd-rnGPa9M34wH6mlEplEY2Sg97XZs54UytsStlXi5JyfqnZ359GKRTNzMLS-g-jmsXK-JMKdg9GA4A24ryNav3etv1q5RPwTuavpHt6CAFo4BzQLsnzVTGBQ08OHzOZFbHBqdV_1OCkPBkF914fpHC6ZMibfdu10zs5SZBRIZqNAcw/s1110/boots%20walker.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1110&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1107&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXyIG50wtrCAqQLd-rnGPa9M34wH6mlEplEY2Sg97XZs54UytsStlXi5JyfqnZ359GKRTNzMLS-g-jmsXK-JMKdg9GA4A24ryNav3etv1q5RPwTuavpHt6CAFo4BzQLsnzVTGBQ08OHzOZFbHBqdV_1OCkPBkF914fpHC6ZMibfdu10zs5SZBRIZqNAcw/w399-h400/boots%20walker.jpg&quot; width=&quot;399&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s time for a rant. I hate Google. You&#39;d think that the &quot;ultimate search engine&quot; with the farthest reach (supposedly) of the internet could find me SOMETHING about Boots Walker outside of selling &lt;i&gt;boots&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;walking&lt;/i&gt;. Yeah, they suck. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there&#39;s a link to Spotify, last.fm, bleh, blah, blah, Discogs, 45cat (where you&#39;ll most likely get the most info), but not much else. Oh yeah, there is a group out of Japan called Boots Walker, I got a link to that. So I&#39;m gonna have to go on what I see on the label, and that&#39;s that this 45 was produced by Ernie Maresca, famous for singing &quot;Shout, Shout, Knock Yourself Out&quot;, probably one of the best do-wop songs ever. He did go on to produce a slew of records for Laurie, Rust, Roulette and other affiliated labels, so I&#39;m guessing Boots was just a studio group he assembled for this one particular 45. As for the record. It&#39;s definitely a &quot;novelty&quot;, but it&#39;s kind of cool in a garage/psyche sense. Very enjoyable. Not like this last rant.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Clear Light - Black Roses / She&#39;s Ready To Be Free (1967)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_duETQYKuU-BrDkYD7wxjv-WU2EbYuVWC6SPr5cXmWwuTeM0xKXbKMbCcXVFd1rDaTq5R74M-mLTVrBjuNjOxqZ90Li1R-MZDpcVWa71gqJrQ1GLeBM8wMiIPqqmeCIRQrireTFDgWxl5-u5NsOROdD-b4iLSJjJjWuDznvHYNQaLQ0m7QkY7bMyZ6i8/s1163/clear%20light.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1163&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1125&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_duETQYKuU-BrDkYD7wxjv-WU2EbYuVWC6SPr5cXmWwuTeM0xKXbKMbCcXVFd1rDaTq5R74M-mLTVrBjuNjOxqZ90Li1R-MZDpcVWa71gqJrQ1GLeBM8wMiIPqqmeCIRQrireTFDgWxl5-u5NsOROdD-b4iLSJjJjWuDznvHYNQaLQ0m7QkY7bMyZ6i8/w388-h400/clear%20light.jpg&quot; width=&quot;388&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Oooh I love this band!!!!! Originally known as &quot;The Brain Train&quot;, they had a monster garage/psyche 45 released on Titan records, and was featured on The Chosen Few compilation. They were managed by a guy named Bud Mathis, who was quite the personality in the mid-sixties. I guess he was a boxer, a country singer, he can be seen on the early episodes of &quot;The Buck Owens Show&quot; decked out in a Nudie Suit, and was a manager for several bands on the Sunset Strip including The Brain Train who eventually re-named themselves &quot;Clear Light&quot;, got a contract with Elektra Records, and ended up being produced by Paul Rothschild, the guy who brought us The Doors, Love, and a slew of other famous acts. This is as good as a debut 45 gets and it kills me that these guys weren&#39;t as famous as their labelmates, The Doors, or The Stooges, Love, or even The Butterfield Blues Band for that matter.

This was produced by Neil Levenson who wrote &quot;Denise&quot; for Randy &amp;amp; The Rainbows, and also produced a few records on Columbia, most notably (at least in these circles) The Creatures from Ireland, who had four 45&#39;s released on Columbia Records, all Dan&#39;s Garage favorites. There&#39;s something about the way cool arrangement of this Beatles classic that gets to me. The over the top fuzz guitar, the B3 organ in the background, the choral style vocals...a very nice musical package indeed!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Hook - Love Theme in &#39;E&#39; Major (1968)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGFkkYs9RFBj1glJjhpYUttfgJDwrxA910hD1Qqh3TPBINeaTC2_pvmca3Ef3v8GtPJx0TyGfanTOhDBJEgKF5YJOT8qQ8PjbYvEN28ol5uFuljr0mrNC5dw7dNosqMAvwBdwDGPfUrgOKq2EjYrC1GlnIW6ZD9IsVRxhsZfGfVFWzEz8MvCpbvgxIpoU/s1127/hook.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1127&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1127&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGFkkYs9RFBj1glJjhpYUttfgJDwrxA910hD1Qqh3TPBINeaTC2_pvmca3Ef3v8GtPJx0TyGfanTOhDBJEgKF5YJOT8qQ8PjbYvEN28ol5uFuljr0mrNC5dw7dNosqMAvwBdwDGPfUrgOKq2EjYrC1GlnIW6ZD9IsVRxhsZfGfVFWzEz8MvCpbvgxIpoU/w400-h400/hook.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;One of these days I&#39;m gonna do a retrospective post on Uni records. No, seriously. there&#39;s TONS of stuff on this label that runs the gamut from way out psychedelia, straight up garage, to top 40 pop. That&#39;s because Uni was kinda sorta transitional label from Decca, Brunswick, Coral, Kapp, and any other act under the &quot;Universal&quot; umbrella, before they all fell under MCA. Uni had a lot more going for it at the time besides Neil Diamond and Elton John. The very first &quot;rock&quot; effort by The Osmond Brothers was released on Uni. Remember Marcia Strassman???? Yeah, she was in &quot;Honey I Shrunk The Kids&quot; as well as being Gabe Kaplans wife on &quot;Welcome Back Kotter&quot;, and a few episodes of M.A.S.H. They were also the home of such great garage psych acts as The Lollipop Shoppe, Fever Tree, Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Yellow Payges, The Daily Flash, The Giant Crab, etc. etc. The Hook were a very unknown group, but in the flotsam and jetsam of Uni releases, this is a good one!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;California Gold Rush - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep (1969)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCBmU7JxfTxEZQNURpF3PZ6rjTh_D-FAW-zve-jsan1LL73eS0_34S_ddYG4HBvHBEiZQ2JnGde3Nr8TSf5ozAurOagdwNz0EKuvcSfE3Ob_7ynqEOKAyXeLkCAqbS2GK0Z4xWCLhi5DeEaONMBRzEFz2izifdJcAlMmpeR-G0X5Q1WGml2ANU2RdDh1o/s1105/California%20gold%20rush.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1105&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1099&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCBmU7JxfTxEZQNURpF3PZ6rjTh_D-FAW-zve-jsan1LL73eS0_34S_ddYG4HBvHBEiZQ2JnGde3Nr8TSf5ozAurOagdwNz0EKuvcSfE3Ob_7ynqEOKAyXeLkCAqbS2GK0Z4xWCLhi5DeEaONMBRzEFz2izifdJcAlMmpeR-G0X5Q1WGml2ANU2RdDh1o/w398-h400/California%20gold%20rush.jpg&quot; width=&quot;398&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s a cute little bubblegum tune I figure I&#39;d throw in....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Rare Bird - Sympathy / Devil&#39;s High Concern (1969)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ-0qLeKh9w2oz6DZtglRim0XA0cFFAcLBs1BzTvUDWzctK_FWc0UqZUnhyphenhyphennB5kIEV3xJNaezV7HZRa10RfhE4VoXtN9PknpObDFNpAqdbG24PZjyXUVgtKhyphenhyphenNM7zJ_0iC_wAEXYr2GC2QfL3K0-IBGytPctlQypszWCbP5R2Iqy4grik2oEZTQCEGxSw/s1140/rare%20bird.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1140&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1132&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ-0qLeKh9w2oz6DZtglRim0XA0cFFAcLBs1BzTvUDWzctK_FWc0UqZUnhyphenhyphennB5kIEV3xJNaezV7HZRa10RfhE4VoXtN9PknpObDFNpAqdbG24PZjyXUVgtKhyphenhyphenNM7zJ_0iC_wAEXYr2GC2QfL3K0-IBGytPctlQypszWCbP5R2Iqy4grik2oEZTQCEGxSw/w398-h400/rare%20bird.jpg&quot; width=&quot;398&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;A &quot;guitar-less&quot; band, Rare Bird were kinda like The Nice and Van Der Graf Generator, bands that were signed to Charisma Records at the time.

Here I am, at home, with a case of the shingles. I can probably think of more severe ways mother nature can torture someone, and I shouldn&#39;t be whining too much because I will get over this, &lt;i&gt;eventually&lt;/i&gt;, but it really has been messing me up for several days, and now that I feel that I&#39;m kind of &quot;over the hump&quot;, I started spinning and ripping 45&#39;s and getting another blog post going, being that I&#39;m home sick from work and I&#39;m starting to get really bored. I&#39;ve watched as much as I possibly can about that Titan submersible tragedy on YouTube, binge watched two seasons of Rocky And Bullwinkle, and at least one season of Barney Miller. I really needed to get down to the basement and play some records. This is pretty good therapy because it takes my mind off the constant pain and it&#39;s also somewhat constructive as well. So here we are with #148. As usual, I&#39;ve grabbed a fist -full of records and just let it rip. Most of these are major label things and it&#39;s kind of an eclectic mix, there&#39;s the usual garage classics, some early 60&#39;s teen stuff, some late 60&#39;s/70&#39;s heavy rock, and a dose of psych/pop. All in all,28 tracks which will provide you all with some good fun.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Please enjoy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Skip Arne &amp;amp; The Dukes - Sunshine And Rain / Angel (1964)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_x-iUrWq_VfkONJBqY7IUUN2eia-LrakNkZ_Th6BhanAKHXs6pdBG99XyAGZ1kwpXGcF8e5JHPjsgGoJU9b3GRcsFhG3i2YCdJLTc2pNKaCPSApOaha2dk4ZEOF6ZG2Di2wqZPKarI3sC8gZTHGyFq0KjmwNNw2ItNXailYVln6FfQEvzexf5r4Rut0/s1145/skip%20arne.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1143&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1145&quot; height=&quot;399&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_x-iUrWq_VfkONJBqY7IUUN2eia-LrakNkZ_Th6BhanAKHXs6pdBG99XyAGZ1kwpXGcF8e5JHPjsgGoJU9b3GRcsFhG3i2YCdJLTc2pNKaCPSApOaha2dk4ZEOF6ZG2Di2wqZPKarI3sC8gZTHGyFq0KjmwNNw2ItNXailYVln6FfQEvzexf5r4Rut0/w400-h399/skip%20arne.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m not exactly sure who Skip Arne was.

It appears they were very popular in their homeland as they released a bunch of 45s down there as well as in Rhodesia. They did manage to get this one released in the U.S. which has songs from two different 45s released in the U.K. Confused??? &quot;Listen To My Heart&quot; was supposedly a big hit for them, the flip not so much, but the interesting fact is that the flip side was not released in South Africa, but only in the U.S. and The Philippines.

I understand that The Lemon Pipers were kinda pissed off about that so this 45 languished in obscurity. Both sides are actually pretty good and better than their bubblegummy output (which I understand they hated too). I particularly like &quot;Quiet Please&quot;, a rip-off of Eddie Cochran&#39;s &quot;Summertime Blues&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Trade Winds - Mind Excursion / Little Sally&#39;s Dreamin&#39; (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiekfpE9e8NtLWbp80d3j98lqOHLEKLN6yM4ReIvvWX_d8On0QIdl3d4igLcAr9YQB7aqpKIisj5eCUEehQ4ODL25gkkywdfpGNcXVCUooR-V1sMpw7yo3RlstHrdQnbiDDqNyYHEmDb8wCLy3cQlJNPTWA-GTxlb_cI7zKvmhR9_PAlIPmikHDJhORMU0/s1117/trade%20winds.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1117&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1102&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiekfpE9e8NtLWbp80d3j98lqOHLEKLN6yM4ReIvvWX_d8On0QIdl3d4igLcAr9YQB7aqpKIisj5eCUEehQ4ODL25gkkywdfpGNcXVCUooR-V1sMpw7yo3RlstHrdQnbiDDqNyYHEmDb8wCLy3cQlJNPTWA-GTxlb_cI7zKvmhR9_PAlIPmikHDJhORMU0/w395-h400/trade%20winds.jpg&quot; width=&quot;395&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;You&#39;d think with a title like &quot;mind Excursion&quot;, this&#39;d be a wild psychedelic trip of a song. On the contrary, this is very sweet psych/pop, not bad, but the title is sure misleading. It&#39;s OK for what it is, it&#39;s just not what you&#39;d expect. I rather like the flip side &quot;Little Sally&#39;s Dreamin&#39;, which is very nice psych-pop with some twinges of folk/rock. I guess this went up to #51 on the Billboard charts in &#39;66, but it&#39;s one of these &quot;hit&quot; songs that kind of escaped me.

The usual vendors that I&#39;d buy from hadn&#39;t brought anything in the way of 45&#39;s, I guess L.P.s are where the real money is at these days.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; People must have some real deep pockets, I mean, I own a nice modest home smack dab in the middle of suburbia on a quiet street, my wife and I make a decent living, but I&#39;m constantly struggling to find extra cash to buy vinyl. Who the hell lays out $175 on a copy of&amp;nbsp; The Velvet Underground&#39;s first album? I had two of those that I&#39;m pretty sure I paid 99 cents apiece for back when it was considered an oddity that no right minded person would ever really listen to. (Except myself of course.) I did manage to buy about two dozen albums at $1 a pop, and most of them were pretty good classic rock, you know, The Doors&#39; 1st album, Dark Side Of The Moon, a copy of &quot;Electric Comic Book&quot; by The Blues Magoos, &quot;Incense And Peppermints&quot; by The Strawberry Alarm Clock, and a copy of&amp;nbsp; The Alan Bown&#39;s self titled L.P. which is pretty scarce. Just trying to fill holes in my L.P. collection, ya know?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Anyway, I come up on this one guy who has a box of junk and he asked me if I&#39;d take the whole lot for $20. I have friends who go to auctions and buy mass quantities of 45&#39;s. They pick through all of them keeping the good stuff, and show up at my house with three gigantic shopping bags full of records that they don&#39;t want. Not your typical grocery bags, but the ones you get at Macy&#39;s or some other department store, you know the ones with the ropes for handles? Anyway, I kindly declined the vendors offer explaining that I already had too much junk to sift through. I think he was a little insulted but I couldn&#39;t tell for sure behind the N95 he was wearing, but I was a nice guy and bought a couple of dollars worth of 45&#39;s, and this was one of them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I was pleasantly surprised when I plopped the needle on this. &quot;Bootleg&quot; is a Creedence song that I wasn&#39;t too familiar with, at least it&#39;s not one of the ones that they play incessantly on classic rock radio, and is actually really good, because Creedence kind of annoys the hell out of me. Maybe it&#39;s because they play the same songs incessantly on classic rock radio. Too bad, I really used to like them. The flip is even better, with some very cool fuzz guitar. It kind of reminds me of&amp;nbsp; The Bubble Puppy who were from Austin, TX a ways down the road from Houston where these guys were from.(Someone out there please correct me if my info is wrong)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Okay, had to get a rant in here, sorry to bore all of you.

I started this post last weekend after attening &quot;Record Store Day&quot; for the very first time in my life last week. I was at one of these events back in 2012, but I was playing with The True Believers that day in a live music event that was tied in to the whole affair and was promoted by a local record store guy. I really didn&#39;t do any record shopping &#39;cause I was so distracted by setting up, playing, blah, blah, blah, and I had just returned from a trip to D.C. that really cut into my schedule, but I had to be there.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So last Saturday I went mostly to go see one of my bandmates who was playing a gig at this rather large record store in Rochester, but being a record collector I had to really witness the &quot;hoopla&quot; involved with &quot;Record Store Day&quot;. Turns out, my buddy got sick and wasn&#39;t even playing, and the atmosphere was...eh...chaotic? I didn&#39;t know where they were keeping the so-called &quot;valuable&#39; &quot;Record Store Day&quot; stuff so I migrated towards the bargain bins (where bottom feeders like me usually reside), and scoured all of them. Long story short, I spent $20 and walked away with 10 L.P.&#39;s including a decent copy of Badfinger&#39;s &quot;Straight Up&#39;, a huge hole in my collection of albums.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m certain that there&#39;s mixed feelings about this event. I get that &quot;exclusives&quot; are part of what record collecting is about. You want that cool stuff that is limited so you can say, &quot;I got that one&quot;, but I&#39;m not so sure the cost of these things are worth it. I can safely say I got Badfinger&#39;s &quot;Straight Up&quot; now, but do I really need a copy of Dave Mason&#39;s &quot;Alone Together Again&quot; for 30+ dollars? Probably not. I know some of you friends out there will strongly disagree with me and that&#39;s OK, we love to collect records and revel in the joy of dropping the needle on them, but personally, I think going out for a day and spending four figures on a bunch of records is way over the top, at least for my budget. Even if I had that kind of money to spend, I&#39;d be looking for originals, and not some repacked stuff on colored vinyl. That&#39;s just my opinion.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Glad to be here again, and I&#39;m striving to make this at least a monthly thing. This time around we have some very cool 45&#39;s featured so dig in and enjoy!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;American Four - Luci Baines / Soul Food (1965)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYXQhRll_1K_1PTJII7JC-qDX62VKtoi1AV7-X6GBHUopAg6GQ7UjpnrD0FLpyetU9iijAEqnNNnM2lKr2p_d2CK4AA-25_X4taVNjzaKrn3SeeoHPX2syB9pXXJEz5u1t6qhW4jV4Gy84HYWlbStEh4DsBUqM_2GL2pJcs7Xze5qtLoFX6an1o-h/s1122/american%204.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1122&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1116&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYXQhRll_1K_1PTJII7JC-qDX62VKtoi1AV7-X6GBHUopAg6GQ7UjpnrD0FLpyetU9iijAEqnNNnM2lKr2p_d2CK4AA-25_X4taVNjzaKrn3SeeoHPX2syB9pXXJEz5u1t6qhW4jV4Gy84HYWlbStEh4DsBUqM_2GL2pJcs7Xze5qtLoFX6an1o-h/w398-h400/american%204.jpg&quot; width=&quot;398&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s a pre-Love Arthur Lee re-making the classic &quot;Louie Louie&quot; riff into a serenade for Lyndon Johnson&#39;s hip swingin&#39; daughter Luci Baines.

In the case of this 45 there is no &quot;original 45&quot; as both of these songs were taken from a &quot;sampler L.P.&quot; that came out on Hillside Records, a label out of Columbus, Ohio that had a dozen or so 45&#39;s released on it, most being Country and a bit of Soul. They did though, release an L.P. of local bands in 1966 which is very sought after by collectors of Garage bands and these two songs were taken from it. I&#39;m not sure if these are the best examples from that record, but I do know that The Deadlys &quot;On The Road Again&quot; was on a &quot;Highs In The Mid Sixties&quot; comp and is certainly deadly in terms of garage band cred. &quot;Midnight Hour&quot; is no slouch either. It seems as if all of this was recorded in a high school auditorium on the same day, because there&#39;s really no difference in in the quality of the recordings (next up...THE DEADLYS!). There&#39;s a few of these 45&#39;s floating around on Ebay at a decent price. By the way...dig the colored vinyl!

I completely skipped this 45 in the original post. The Bad Boys were a British band that had most of their success in Italy, in fact they released 10 45&#39;s there. They didn&#39;t fare as well in the U.K. (one 45 on Piccadilly), and this one release in the U.S. on Warner Brothers. The &#39;A&#39; side is pretty good, but I prefer the &#39;B&#39; side.

Fat Chuck bought the entire library of records from former radio station WSAY, a LEGENDARY spot on the dial that was run by on old guy named Gordon Brown. After he passed on, the station got sold along with it&#39;s contents, but I digress.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Chuck&#39;s inventory was literally in cardboard boxes. Boxes of all types including fruit boxes and the like, but it was an amazing place! Lot&#39;s of things were sorted by label which is where I found my copies of The Sparkles &quot;Hipsville 29 B.C. and Neal Ford And The Fanatics&#39; &quot;Shame On You&quot; as well as Roy Jr.&#39;s &quot;Victim Of Circumstance&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So anytime I&#39;d come across a record on the Hickory label I was thinking, &quot;good stuff here&quot; right??? Well.....maybe not so much. I played this one and after the first 15 seconds or so I thought, yeah baby, KILLER! No, not so much. This isn&#39;t a Horrible record, but it&#39;s rather unique in it&#39;s mashup of garage and pop. I was able to find a nice copy for real cheap because, hell, I wouldn&#39;t pay a lot for this, but it has strangely grown on me over the years....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Three People - Have You Ever Been There / The Good Times (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiESZLCmHyDChnpj1arNk9U-hgnTURDFerrLms_6LLQ8RazSAsl9jx6HYmNKu6egno6-yJWNv-G-D9NCHQABk1TeMG2LBTWPl8MP6V8_geGdFQyXhz_kAWN6LamVujnm4CmVuFJxzJg7H86bUhhFlZB5NQ-LIdeq36k1F6fFMgI0HCYi9DZNh8aGUJK/s1133/three%20people.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1133&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1097&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiESZLCmHyDChnpj1arNk9U-hgnTURDFerrLms_6LLQ8RazSAsl9jx6HYmNKu6egno6-yJWNv-G-D9NCHQABk1TeMG2LBTWPl8MP6V8_geGdFQyXhz_kAWN6LamVujnm4CmVuFJxzJg7H86bUhhFlZB5NQ-LIdeq36k1F6fFMgI0HCYi9DZNh8aGUJK/w388-h400/three%20people.jpg&quot; width=&quot;388&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I like this 45 because it reminds me of The Seekers, and I love that group because they had this rather innocent style of folk music unlike the folk groups in the U.S. that were mainly into political and social issues. Not being into politics when you&#39;re trying to reach the public can be a good thing IN MY HONEST OPINION, should be avoided. But that&#39;s just MY HONEST OPINION. That being said, Three People, who were from Manchester released three 45&#39;s, three in the U.K. and this lonely one here in the U.S. Apparently, Deep Purple bassist and producer Roger Glover wrote the A side to this and Episode Six made a demo of it before Three People got a hold of it and turned it into a very nice meaningful folk rock tune.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Lovin&#39; Cohens - Noshville Katz / Shoily Klien (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbxcQ0Mwnjnn_wsDFHtTGRkmppnhoqunZWIwtJqH5FwWviW6biVKcJxlNCx5JCUr3aJJCRLk6nA4J8F-BBfz5A890LNPO_YJGK86YpLU6bCQUYlXb6u0W0jg2D6HIOdmu0dLkmBGiv2PtrR0TYAH9tXG4UkEQyZt8hR-2gAWvwF72Pg9HvjZymVINS/s1123/lovin%20cohens.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1123&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1122&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbxcQ0Mwnjnn_wsDFHtTGRkmppnhoqunZWIwtJqH5FwWviW6biVKcJxlNCx5JCUr3aJJCRLk6nA4J8F-BBfz5A890LNPO_YJGK86YpLU6bCQUYlXb6u0W0jg2D6HIOdmu0dLkmBGiv2PtrR0TYAH9tXG4UkEQyZt8hR-2gAWvwF72Pg9HvjZymVINS/w400-h400/lovin%20cohens.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I don&#39;t usually feature &quot;novelty&quot; songs on this blog unless they&#39;re really cool.

They were one of the British bands that straddled the line between freakbeat, mod,&amp;nbsp; and total psychedelia. In my opinion, they were one of the greatest &quot;pre-power pop&quot; bands ever. They had quite a few 45&#39;s released here in the U.S. as well as the U.K. and their history is somewhat hard to keep track of, but the main characters in the band were, Roy Wood, Trevor Burton, Ace Kefford, Jeff Lynne... almost a revolving door of British superstars. They would split up several times in their career, evolved into the Electric Light Orchestra, and left us with some very cool music. This 45 from 1968 is one of their best.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Bob Seger - Tales Of Lucy Blue (1968)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqztUTLyl9NVnZS-BOELCXI0d9Il24TL6qOH7MdZ_7Sn1N5InRgcqL4wTyIRdeS6YlTJHFqLj0p-xfDoWtt3FdmK-efxQTuUwhGHIDAbCwPWx64WCUc5lIzJEqxY9K_FBfauxEEb1IAqtGfku_azLCY0m4cSqdNkcdoFXy5U6eC33lOTNu9O-u-ARe/s1054/Bob%20Seger.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1054&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1023&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqztUTLyl9NVnZS-BOELCXI0d9Il24TL6qOH7MdZ_7Sn1N5InRgcqL4wTyIRdeS6YlTJHFqLj0p-xfDoWtt3FdmK-efxQTuUwhGHIDAbCwPWx64WCUc5lIzJEqxY9K_FBfauxEEb1IAqtGfku_azLCY0m4cSqdNkcdoFXy5U6eC33lOTNu9O-u-ARe/w389-h400/Bob%20Seger.jpg&quot; width=&quot;389&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I was at a record show (or &#39;fair&quot; as some folks call them these days) and came across a seller who was basically trying to get rid of shit. Seriously, he had a box of 45&#39;s that were mostly garbage, but had a few cool things in it and asked me if I would take the entire box off his hands for $25. I declined, as a dear friend of mine (Rox, are you reading this???) gave me three large shopping bags full of 45&#39;s a few months before, and I&#39;m still trying to sort though all of them. Anyway....I did buy a half dozen or so from him at 25¢ apiece and this was one of them. I gotta admit, I love Seger&#39;s early work on Cameo Records, but I kinda have to put my foot through the radio when I hear the typical &quot;classic rock&quot; stuff that&#39;s played 500 times a day on FM radio. This tune here was the flip of &quot;Rambin&#39; Gamblin&#39; Man&quot; one of his better songs that transitioned him into an FM mainstay. I&#39;m posting this one, because it&#39;s really freakin&#39; cool and possibly one of his last garage/psyche songs ever to be released.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Neil MacArthur - She&#39;s Not There / World Of Glass (1969)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9UnZSqym-m8TUc4of4OXIG6cithSumP37KAA8DqZCMCak84izNXxxfdnJ9yTBVqja4CfvLguXwj7XzTf5tBCB6oxAsAASIlYotxCLsUuaY2JYZ9ere3T8sczFMasoa78NQUKyAVKE6uxmjYFL7oyHI4IbbUhHdmV3XHwt7v4a-CMSzapYxbPZ9WG/s1099/Neil%20MacArthur.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1099&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1094&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK9UnZSqym-m8TUc4of4OXIG6cithSumP37KAA8DqZCMCak84izNXxxfdnJ9yTBVqja4CfvLguXwj7XzTf5tBCB6oxAsAASIlYotxCLsUuaY2JYZ9ere3T8sczFMasoa78NQUKyAVKE6uxmjYFL7oyHI4IbbUhHdmV3XHwt7v4a-CMSzapYxbPZ9WG/w399-h400/Neil%20MacArthur.jpg&quot; width=&quot;399&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Neil MacArthur is one of my favorites and was actually Colin Blunstone post Zombies and released three 45&#39;s that were produced by Mike Hurst a guy that was involved with Dusty Springfield in &quot;The Springfields&quot;, a band called &quot;The Methods&quot; that included Tony Ashton and Jimmy Page, and then discovered Cat Stevens and produced some of his early hits on Deram, as well as producing Manfred Mann&#39;s &quot;Mighty Quinn&quot;, Marc Bolan&#39;s &quot;The Wizard&quot;, The Spencer Davis Group (post Steve Winwood), The Move, plus scores of others. His imprint on these 45&#39;s by MacArthur are not exactly &quot;rock&quot;, but a fusion of pop and psychedelia that&#39;s rather unique and quite catchy.

As promised at the beginning of the year, I would at some point resume this blog, something I&#39;ve neglected to do for way too long. I started this post last year and started ripping 45&#39;s and scanning labels. At some point I reshuffled stuff and the un-scanned 45&#39;s got lost in one of my many boxes of records laying around my workstation so I put it off until I could retrieve them. This week I got lucky and happened to find them so I resumed the task of ripping and scanning and this one came together quite nicely. Records haven&#39;t been pouring in, but whatever I do get seems to be of good quality and I&#39;m happy to share some of them this time around. Good news is, as I&#39;ve said before, I have LOADS of stuff yet to be posted. I&#39;m just not as organized as I should be!!!! So please dig in to this newest edition of &quot;Dan&#39;s Garage&quot;, I&#39;m sure you&#39;ll all enjoy it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;P.S. Thanks to all of my friends and followers who have stuck around for this. You&#39;re what makes this blog worthwhile.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Idle Few - Farmer John (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIalBdgipOrx8_Fai3Bx3Yk3QjNslm7ebpNgsCGqZ5dxszZWe6OH2tBti_hOkqR7iVx1hc1dw8ZqMdojFuuC85uP50YNdDlZhjH372Ha-85sFMSuFSDw-alkSx0mEsLr3QPNgzfHtahuLncvt2IwHFTLWz4sSAoEHslBHQ4b0_tYjASe23VKefWeX/s1129/idle%20few.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1122&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1129&quot; height=&quot;398&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIalBdgipOrx8_Fai3Bx3Yk3QjNslm7ebpNgsCGqZ5dxszZWe6OH2tBti_hOkqR7iVx1hc1dw8ZqMdojFuuC85uP50YNdDlZhjH372Ha-85sFMSuFSDw-alkSx0mEsLr3QPNgzfHtahuLncvt2IwHFTLWz4sSAoEHslBHQ4b0_tYjASe23VKefWeX/w400-h398/idle%20few.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The Idle Few were from Indianapolis and released this great version of &quot;Farmer John&quot; with a very lame flip side.

BRB Records had only three releases that I&#39;m aware of, and trying to figure out where they are from also turns up a lot of dead ends. My best guess is that this is an east coast band, perhaps from Pennsylvania? I don&#39;t know, but I really love this cheezy re-work of the Bell Notes&#39; &quot;I&#39;ve Had It&quot; into &quot;You&#39;ve Got It&quot;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jim &amp;amp; Monica - Slippin&#39; And Slidin&#39; (1964)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOaOsA8ZnQOwGHQXOfwtk3dItTxODIL7SEIgCc5JvnO08zlBin6n7XPnlUwgiV8ZQ4SQd-s1mxGgs16CpVQr0RXmcQ4wtZH19iML90G2JxfH29lDO1Qiorc7zy17BqcliS930mVAem7AB7r-N1oDaMBEgx1mHltclodFo_ZPizt52eBWTIr9x2DnhU/s1119/jim%20and%20monica.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1119&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1119&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOaOsA8ZnQOwGHQXOfwtk3dItTxODIL7SEIgCc5JvnO08zlBin6n7XPnlUwgiV8ZQ4SQd-s1mxGgs16CpVQr0RXmcQ4wtZH19iML90G2JxfH29lDO1Qiorc7zy17BqcliS930mVAem7AB7r-N1oDaMBEgx1mHltclodFo_ZPizt52eBWTIr9x2DnhU/w400-h400/jim%20and%20monica.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Jim And Monica were from the Chicago area, and from what I gather were a popular act.

I, for one, think they were very good, in fact I have all their 45&#39;s that were released here in the U.S. and &quot;Why Can&#39;t It Be Me&quot; is right up there with any Beatles song from the pre Rubber Soul era. That being said, Ian &amp;amp; The Zodiacs will unfortunately be just a footnote in the history of &quot;Merseybeat&quot;. It should also be noted that the band travelled to Hamburg to play the Star Club in &#39;64 and became so popular there that they stayed on for another three years.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Volcanoes - Someone Like You / Two Of A Kind (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxXvgMgvtyahv3wz-SRiF7nI43Sbap2LN3uAEynOkZX2Z6o22hFEFjGCfITkUqu-JOS2eTuW6_lyV4AZSNeQSWKHmrxxUKI1BtwXeaad3jOMed3gWPSArJXy6dXQDGq6tQPeulUrgEzaAq9OLaM4lTekwag9GwrphRFTfNsh4-hVdUyTUezJ5GZbgS/s1111/volcanoes.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1111&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1105&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxXvgMgvtyahv3wz-SRiF7nI43Sbap2LN3uAEynOkZX2Z6o22hFEFjGCfITkUqu-JOS2eTuW6_lyV4AZSNeQSWKHmrxxUKI1BtwXeaad3jOMed3gWPSArJXy6dXQDGq6tQPeulUrgEzaAq9OLaM4lTekwag9GwrphRFTfNsh4-hVdUyTUezJ5GZbgS/w398-h400/volcanoes.jpg&quot; width=&quot;398&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s one that threw me off.

Lee) with &quot;Love That Louie&quot; which rivals &quot;Louie&quot;, and then moved on to Bang records where he, and The Courtmen, released two 45&#39;s in typical Pacific Northwest form.

I featured this song way back in 2018 on IDG #130 and was done by The Smiths. I guess this is the original version? It was written by Buzz Clifford, a guitarist, songwriter, and producer. He was also a member of Hamilton Streetcar and Carp with Gary Busey. Fearns Foundry was was a Mod/Soul band from the U.K. and was knowns as &quot;Fearns Brass Foundry&quot;. As for Noel Walker who produced this, his name shows up on many&amp;nbsp;Decca and Deram records so it&#39;s probably safe to assume he was a staff producer. A few of his credits include The Big Three, The Bachelors, The Eyes Of Blue, The Fortunes, The Amen Corner, plus scores of others.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Spectrum - London Bridge Is Falling Down (1968)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyx2WP4H50bvJT2GJb01fovUwrfdV663grUyUMv2NDJJT8AcmpeFV_d_EZgLswcTwDnqwPBJWDI5pQcEOaAGTea82f3U2JEKZDB4JQUHMP9fhkcv9lqv-JioVQD_LVeOWklpBNiqcy1ss9DRDhZwLyjbw08m5kqYB-KbW5983QWYtydsIgQBCqGjS/s1101/spectrum.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1101&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1089&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyx2WP4H50bvJT2GJb01fovUwrfdV663grUyUMv2NDJJT8AcmpeFV_d_EZgLswcTwDnqwPBJWDI5pQcEOaAGTea82f3U2JEKZDB4JQUHMP9fhkcv9lqv-JioVQD_LVeOWklpBNiqcy1ss9DRDhZwLyjbw08m5kqYB-KbW5983QWYtydsIgQBCqGjS/w396-h400/spectrum.jpg&quot; width=&quot;396&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Pretty good pop/psyche from a band out of the U.K., even if it is a re-work of a nursery rhyme.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Brimstone - Blowin&#39; In The Wind / Trinket (1969)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZzfewGRNlEHJsmtzQEDdFPAXij1ZiDGLv3o2VUIzl-PJh9LzFf4Fc_HDTrKev0umkNmdQoSWllcIptORuSsSe6sVeMVbTyWNFL67smIt-tWmljrrWTo2cU90NyulQicJ7vKL2mcDtCauOm5K6Jy5g0xXi_biveXTuWVhMR10BRW7Ynh4XmiOFQAbO/s1140/Brimstone2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1140&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1119&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZzfewGRNlEHJsmtzQEDdFPAXij1ZiDGLv3o2VUIzl-PJh9LzFf4Fc_HDTrKev0umkNmdQoSWllcIptORuSsSe6sVeMVbTyWNFL67smIt-tWmljrrWTo2cU90NyulQicJ7vKL2mcDtCauOm5K6Jy5g0xXi_biveXTuWVhMR10BRW7Ynh4XmiOFQAbO/w393-h400/Brimstone2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;393&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m not certain of where Brimstone is from, but they&#39;re not related to a band with the same name that was from Ohio.

So, I&#39;ve gotten into a &quot;groove&quot; so to speak, where whenever I play a record that I haven&#39;t posted on this blog, I rip, and then, voila!!! I&#39;ve got content to work with. Now that&#39;s genius! I have a ton of stuff here in the basement that hasn&#39;t been included here and my biggest problem is that I&#39;m terribly dis-organized. For the last two years, I&#39;ve VOWED to alphabetize and sort these records out, but some other chore gets in the way. I also need lots more record boxes. Oh, yeah, I&#39;m not sure if all of you are paying attention, but this inflation thing is hitting me hard in this area. I used to buy ten 45 storage boxes for just over $55, (full disclosure here.. I live in Rochester, N.Y. where &quot;Bags Unlimited&quot; is located and if you pay cash and pick up, you get a discount), now they cost around $80. That&#39;s for twenty pieces of cardboard (boxes and lids). Got that??? Twenty pieces of CARDBOARD. I know, they&#39;re cut very nicely, and you can fold them easily, BUT IT&#39;S FREAKIN&#39; CARDBOARD!!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So, I&#39;ve had to hold off on buying storage for these things and now I have stacks of records piled up all over the place and I can&#39;t keep track of them. Little by little I pick up little stacks and sort them into &quot;newer&quot; and &quot;older&quot; 45&#39;s, this way I can keep things fresh on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.radiofreephoenix.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Radio Free Phoenix&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.deepoldies.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Deep Oldies&lt;/a&gt; show which by the way (insert shameless self promotion HERE) is on every Wednesday night at 11:00 PM eastern daylight time on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.radiofreephoenix.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;RFP&lt;/a&gt;, and streamed again on Sundays at 3;00 PM at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.deepoldies.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Deep Oldies&lt;/a&gt;, both great places to listen to cool music, and you know it&#39;s cool because they allow me to spin 45&#39;s for an entire hour and demonstrate my HORRID broadcast talents every week. Also check out my &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/user/danx42/featured&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;You Tube Channel&lt;/a&gt; (more shameless self promotion) which features most of the content featured here on this blog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;This post, as usual, features &lt;i&gt;&quot;a plethora&amp;nbsp;of fine 45&#39;s&quot; &lt;/i&gt;so as I say every week on the show...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;LET&#39;S GET RIGHT TO IT!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rondels - C&#39;mon Let&#39;s Go /&lt;span&gt;Sweetheart (1964)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbo-tb_btXjnyle5E3F-uz_6Zuwj8VMn504AF7SYcK8tAQKVbzp1lgLgFwwJlTAuZhVyEy9P4pY6QUhrLUd6xldtCZJhf5SXaxHJCt7vFkzME7AlxbbodDWikbFSZY7-Gtfb0lHWHeu5KFAuOB1kojVSl6zy-mOrl1DRuv7f7eNDPyyGiVDrnohqIx/s1152/rondels.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1143&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1152&quot; height=&quot;398&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbo-tb_btXjnyle5E3F-uz_6Zuwj8VMn504AF7SYcK8tAQKVbzp1lgLgFwwJlTAuZhVyEy9P4pY6QUhrLUd6xldtCZJhf5SXaxHJCt7vFkzME7AlxbbodDWikbFSZY7-Gtfb0lHWHeu5KFAuOB1kojVSl6zy-mOrl1DRuv7f7eNDPyyGiVDrnohqIx/w400-h398/rondels.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Kicking off this post is a band from New England, and I guess Boston would be where these guys came from, although little is known about them, they could have been from anywhere in the area. 45cat.com has this listed with the &quot;Ron-Dels&quot; 45&#39;s that featured Delbert McClinton, but I&#39;m not convinced that they are the same band.

This 45 which was released on Decca in the U.K. is a real good version of &quot;New Orleans&quot; a song often covered by groups on both sides of the Atlantic. Bern issued some solo 45&#39;s in &#39;65 and the Fenmen broke away to release a few singles without Bern. Eventually, a couple of the Fenmen joined the late 60&#39;s Pretty Things and had some success with them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Billy Thorpe &amp;amp;The Aztecs - My Girl Josephine (1965)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJG2RZH17mZGr0Ea3X4Rwp1xm24vP8VaJeWwmimk7QfgVHDpmzwjLh9WtFo7Gn8JwJzRXftsTVEU8vbMCkiWcM6TAI8GeV2ACijGpm-5wqAmpzxNnp5IWjId_P0nOFrnyi4HLFdF8uk-YJAvAPQSngA7SPNfOckEa3nWjdfu_DWo-UWx-zaIVNxYh7/s1151/billy%20thorpe.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1151&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1131&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJG2RZH17mZGr0Ea3X4Rwp1xm24vP8VaJeWwmimk7QfgVHDpmzwjLh9WtFo7Gn8JwJzRXftsTVEU8vbMCkiWcM6TAI8GeV2ACijGpm-5wqAmpzxNnp5IWjId_P0nOFrnyi4HLFdF8uk-YJAvAPQSngA7SPNfOckEa3nWjdfu_DWo-UWx-zaIVNxYh7/w393-h400/billy%20thorpe.jpg&quot; width=&quot;393&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;English born Billy Thorpe, was a huge success in Australia starting in the early sixties and performing into the mid 70&#39;s where he became a producer and a composer of TV scores including one of my all time favorite TV shows, Colombo.

There are exceptions though. In the realm of really hard to get 45&#39;s that are legendary, &lt;i&gt;and &lt;/i&gt;killer, we like to include them here and such is the case with this 45 by Adrian Lloyd which was re-issued for what they call &quot;record store day&quot;. Hell, when I was younger, every day was record store day. I&#39;d go to a record store any chance I got. I practically lived in those freakin&#39; places. Now it&#39;s sort of a &quot;holiday&quot; for record collectors with a lot of money and they issue &quot;limited edition&quot; records, just for &quot;record store day&quot;. Not a bad concept in theory, but it turns out it&#39;s just a money grab for some record companies, and a chance for &quot;collectors&quot; with deep pockets to buy as much as they can before anyone else does, and gouge other people on Ebay that didn&#39;t get what they wanted the first time around. Fortunately, this 45 came up for what I considered to be a fair price given it&#39;s quality. The original issue of this on Charger Records is really rare, so this is an exceptional re-issue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;On to the music..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;This is perhaps one of the greatest garage band performances ever to be laid down to wax.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Somehow, Adrian Lloyd, a drummer, who was a transplant from England managed to join The Rumblers, who had a hit in 1962 with the instrumental &quot;Boss&quot;, which is a surf classic. If any of you are familiar with this 45, the flip &quot;I Don&#39;t Need You No More&quot; was the better side, with Adrian &#39;s snotty vocals at the fore, an omen of sorts, especially when you hear this track. He then formed his own band Adrian &amp;amp; The Sunsets and they released a classic surf LP .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Fast-forward to late 1965 where Adrian went into the studio to record this gem. He not only sang and screamed, but played drums as well. This is one of those 45&#39;s where I wish I was a fly on the wall in the recording studio experiencing all of this. Adrian literally becomes unhinged as he goes through this number, every scream more intense than the last.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Thank you Sundazed records for having the savvy to re-issue this particular 45, and apologies to the Ebay seller as well. You certainly weren&#39;t gouging anyone here, although I&#39;m aware you have multiple copies of this. Fair is fair.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Did I mention the flip side??? Oh yeah, that&#39;s way cool as well, a menacing minor chord &quot;ballad&quot; that&amp;nbsp; is a classic as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Liz Brady with Jaques Denjean&#39;s Orchestra - Hey O Daddy O /&amp;nbsp;Comme Tu Es Jeune (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGh1cKksCQs-PAjd010O5aVrNyJnARzjKr8x_vVtEJZBweE1gW3szeUlo_Xqp-fSlqbEmu-EHTdHohP1YtdZd3zFyPv2X-_j_a7LxHsw6kZJLA2Wxtr6CXPP34iF6duqUBQgeuK4TzlrEU8GDp6xY9nVa4O4js7yi5_yVHeN-P4Pt39iFfZOHXsGQD/s1129/liz%20brady.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1129&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1121&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGh1cKksCQs-PAjd010O5aVrNyJnARzjKr8x_vVtEJZBweE1gW3szeUlo_Xqp-fSlqbEmu-EHTdHohP1YtdZd3zFyPv2X-_j_a7LxHsw6kZJLA2Wxtr6CXPP34iF6duqUBQgeuK4TzlrEU8GDp6xY9nVa4O4js7yi5_yVHeN-P4Pt39iFfZOHXsGQD/w398-h400/liz%20brady.jpg&quot; width=&quot;398&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s go to France, where Liz Brady covers one of the cooler songs issued by The Newbeats, &quot;Hey O Daddy O&quot;.

I&#39;m always taking chances on 45&#39;s out there, and there obviously are hits and misses. I couldn&#39;t pass this one up even though I&#39;d never heard it mainly because this is some unknown band covering one my all time favorite Pete Townsend compositions, from one of my favorite Who L.P.&#39;s. I wasn&#39;t sure what to expect. First of all, Ranwood Records was collaboration between Randy Wood who founded Dot Records, and Lawrence Welk (of all people) so&#39;s they could release all of Welk&#39;s Dot recordings independent of Dot Records, because Welk owned all the rights to everything he recorded on Dot.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Obviously they needed a few other acts to fill out their roster, so The Cherokee must&#39;ve been one of them. I have one other 45 on this label by &quot;The Sounds Of Sunshine&quot; a real &quot;sunshiny&quot; pop 45 but outside of these two , I haven&#39;t heard anything else.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Produced and arranged by Dan Dalton who was also involved with quite a bit of music in the mid sixties like the Peppermint Trolley Company, The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, and as a member of the folk group &quot;The Back Porch Majority&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So, how&#39;s the music???? Quite interesting I might say. This is probably a love it or hate it 45, but I love it. They take one of Pete Townsend&#39;s finest songs and put a &quot;La Bamba&quot; riff to it for the intros, but kind of get back to the feel of the original during the verses and the choruses. Although this side is marred by dopey horns, It&#39;s still very good, and the flip is a fuzzed up version of Johnny Otis&#39; &quot;Willie &amp;amp; The Hand Jive&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Steve Lee - She&#39;s Afraid To Answer/ Baby (1968)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbC3qLh8CIBeCfn_dQ-MUe1Pr9pCK85ARV1GqiNRc20kAJz6TN18v9FEoaOjaFZVDiJwZambbyfqaN4RbhwkX1LDnGrBgX0MesIOTA-0Gv3F4B_KlgtP09ukNcERlKI0wxVwEufqhtjav5sl3WJ-pUIK-koQYK_FQKlQWPcY4ahc-DMudm-J0LT7U/s1136/steve%20lee.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1136&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1112&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbC3qLh8CIBeCfn_dQ-MUe1Pr9pCK85ARV1GqiNRc20kAJz6TN18v9FEoaOjaFZVDiJwZambbyfqaN4RbhwkX1LDnGrBgX0MesIOTA-0Gv3F4B_KlgtP09ukNcERlKI0wxVwEufqhtjav5sl3WJ-pUIK-koQYK_FQKlQWPcY4ahc-DMudm-J0LT7U/w391-h400/steve%20lee.jpg&quot; width=&quot;391&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Steve Lee, A/K/A Steve Noack, was a musician from St. Louis, MO and was in a band called The Happy Return which was featured in IDG #91.

I guess this must&#39;ve been a real early effort from 1966 although I don&#39;t see much mention of it except that the 45 states that it features him. I wouldn&#39;t exactly call this a &#39;garage&#39; 45 but it&#39;s certainly some very solid 60&#39;s rock and roll with a little bit of attitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Bill Hjerpe - Navigation Blues / Not For Sale (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXiQ3EZP6W8jYQMs-jK8PG-kkZvMju_yupRM6A6uJ4sieJkeSFZqeHZ2wIyxIl78Q2XzBqSNShjLKoNyLjT04FnSxM0rU0eAayRVhsyERZKaGzFeOlkZPAGSUQ1H7p2zAaqSDNi1LsEBCCocR-ytngKsnGr5s-dfm-MY78aGdJW_iIiC0fIzqpWwEi/s1102/hjerpe.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1102&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1086&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXiQ3EZP6W8jYQMs-jK8PG-kkZvMju_yupRM6A6uJ4sieJkeSFZqeHZ2wIyxIl78Q2XzBqSNShjLKoNyLjT04FnSxM0rU0eAayRVhsyERZKaGzFeOlkZPAGSUQ1H7p2zAaqSDNi1LsEBCCocR-ytngKsnGr5s-dfm-MY78aGdJW_iIiC0fIzqpWwEi/w394-h400/hjerpe.jpg&quot; width=&quot;394&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Bill Hjerpe released two 45&#39;s on Epic and somehow also worked as a songwriter for at least one act that I know of that appeared on Columbia Records. Those guys would be Rochester, NY&#39;s Show Stoppers who apparently were discovered in our humble hometown by John Hammond himself, well... discovered might be a stretch, but I think they generated enough interest to get him up here to see them perform and give them a contract. The Show Stoppers released two 45&#39;s on Columbia and were blessed with Bill Hjerpe&#39;s songwriting on both issues. Obviously, Bill has a Dylan thing going on here, and &quot;Navigation Blues&quot; sounds like Bill and the drummer going at it while he does a sort of stream of consciousness vocal much in the same way Dylan did, although I think Bob was more deliberate with his lyrics. &quot;Not For Sale&quot; is actually the better side as we have a full band backing Hjerpe up on that one. Also seek out is other Epic 45 which is well...EPIC!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tom Rush - On The Road Again / Who Do You Love (1965)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqxm_6xWd0_FMM64uI1404Q2LgsyIF-J1SPpJH0PeHebQRrtvyvWmKC4DC3eJ8SNxTeUMgede28jELdQi6UiuZGzFNO284ayuME2r36vsgSldSQnZi6xAMQHfgNa4GpSAScaNpA0XHOGT2CU0ulRFSUwXkVoaZc3_Zeok6dCr0bfB1VR0JfQIW3lG/s1126/tom%20rush.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1126&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1111&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxqxm_6xWd0_FMM64uI1404Q2LgsyIF-J1SPpJH0PeHebQRrtvyvWmKC4DC3eJ8SNxTeUMgede28jELdQi6UiuZGzFNO284ayuME2r36vsgSldSQnZi6xAMQHfgNa4GpSAScaNpA0XHOGT2CU0ulRFSUwXkVoaZc3_Zeok6dCr0bfB1VR0JfQIW3lG/w395-h400/tom%20rush.jpg&quot; width=&quot;395&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;How many &quot;On The Road Again&quot; songs are there in the musical universe??? Prolly a bunch. We all know Willie Nelson&#39;s version well (yawn), and the Lovin&#39; Spoonful had one,&amp;nbsp; there may be some others, but for my money this one by Tom Rush is the best. Tom Rush was not exactly a garage or psychedelic guy, on the contrary, he was a blues/folk artist. I don&#39;t know a whole lot about him &#39;cause the folk thing really isn&#39;t my bag, but I can&#39;t help loving this particular song. It reminds me a bit like Dylan&#39;s &quot;Maggies Farm&quot;, but not quit as &quot;out there&quot;, know what I mean?

The first two 45&#39;s were really good garage/folk rock, this one on the other hand, well...they make a serious left turn.

Although they had some of the BEST music to come out of Britain in the 60&#39;s, here in the U.S., their releases got scattered about a bunch of different labels including this one which ended up on Chess no less. Chess, being the gold standard for blues labels in the 50&#39;s and early 60&#39;s needed to expand their horizons so they released 45&#39;s by groups like &quot;The Lot&quot;, &quot;The Truth&quot;, &quot;The Baroques&quot;, and this one here, which by the way, is a one sided promo. The Bystanders were from Wales and in the UK released eight 45&#39;s including a version of Keith&#39;s &quot;98.6&quot;.

These guys were named after Western N.Y. native Bobby Comstock who had some big local hits in the early sixties, an L.P. on Ascot records in 1966, and three or four 45&#39;s on Bell. Comstock was from nearby Ithaca, N.Y. and was an extremely popular act right though the sixties and he continued performing in &quot;oldies&quot; shows till the 90&#39;s. Bobby passed away in 2020 leaving us some cool rock &amp;amp; roll to digest, especially his greatest effort, &quot;Let&#39;s Stomp&quot;, a rock &amp;amp; roll standard.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Five By Five - Apple Cider / Fruitstand Man (1969)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE-iy9l_HdoKTU5Is1ZXS3UwjMoNC05ydA2TUiH9cHkYzC7gOOKPjxh9nbY-K1-iBVdnO6_p2nBJ-M-WRs7s0m4ahanJ61iU9J_EvaWy2dDxQyHsTGKrocCdnso-wuYbBMjlOhhWQq2d6PV-u9NEwysmtYWS9WkWZdS6hvdoaZ_ZqeJ0rNuD9-DOp8/s1124/Fivebyfive.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1124&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1113&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE-iy9l_HdoKTU5Is1ZXS3UwjMoNC05ydA2TUiH9cHkYzC7gOOKPjxh9nbY-K1-iBVdnO6_p2nBJ-M-WRs7s0m4ahanJ61iU9J_EvaWy2dDxQyHsTGKrocCdnso-wuYbBMjlOhhWQq2d6PV-u9NEwysmtYWS9WkWZdS6hvdoaZ_ZqeJ0rNuD9-DOp8/w396-h400/Fivebyfive.jpg&quot; width=&quot;396&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The Five By Five were a &lt;i&gt;somewhat &lt;/i&gt;prolific band, I mean, they had eight singles on Paula Records, but only one L.P., which had most of the singles tracks on it.

Originally from Denver, CO, they relocated to New York City and developed what can only be described as a truly progressive sound, using &quot;Lothar&quot;, their Theremin, an electronic instrument with a couple of rods you wave your hand over to make whacked out noises with (I&#39;m paraphrasing here), and the Moog Synthesizer, which could possibly be the most reviled instrument by lovers of rock and roll. I personally am OK with it, depending on it&#39;s use, and The Hand People use it well. As far as the band&#39;s output, they did release five 45&#39;s on Capitol as well as two L.P.s.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;NAIF - Love&#39;s No Game (1968)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6xEKl9WeSXvOA6aQhAp-GYZF8UChD1-rjhliYHhl1FnLnlpHQfazOcxrMWkOq6_TOVTThtMe9DLjN6FfHW4L6XFN-raMX65e0e-GUwSXDt8EimRwBkQgd8IQJgkXtL3Xev9yNrq9EGWBXe40FvTRv9DbKDfJtNesRHtCfGQfVf_c6CKTeTCuCp0mb/s1155/NAIF.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1155&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1123&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6xEKl9WeSXvOA6aQhAp-GYZF8UChD1-rjhliYHhl1FnLnlpHQfazOcxrMWkOq6_TOVTThtMe9DLjN6FfHW4L6XFN-raMX65e0e-GUwSXDt8EimRwBkQgd8IQJgkXtL3Xev9yNrq9EGWBXe40FvTRv9DbKDfJtNesRHtCfGQfVf_c6CKTeTCuCp0mb/w389-h400/NAIF.jpg&quot; width=&quot;389&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;NAIF&quot;.

That song, unfortunately, had some lyrics that were &quot;not acceptable&quot;, so they re-wrote the song and released it again on the &quot;Staff&quot; label out of N.Y.C.

I love Roy Orbison, and he had a long and well deserved successful career, but every once in a while, even the great ones stumble. Such is the case with this&amp;nbsp; seven minute opus, which unfortunately is in crappy shape, although it was a relative bargain. Roy goes into &quot;rock opera concept mode&quot; on this one, and with some really head scratching results as he goes through the dilemma of a man who seems to have lost his wife, and his kids are all messed up, 60&#39;s style ya know, and he&#39;s just trying to cope with....well...I sorta get lost after the first three minutes, but you get the picture.

The Kids were literally &quot;kids&quot; in that the oldest member was thirteen years old and the youngest ten. I gotta hand it to these youngsters because they hang pretty well with the older teenage groups of the era. As far as garage bands go these lads sound pretty tight even if their vocals are a bit off. Both sides of this gem are great fun.

Back in 2018 there was an Ebay listing of &quot;five Japanese 45&#39;s from the 60&#39;s&quot; and the opening bid was pretty low. Looking at the pics in the listing I&#39;d noticed that &quot;Sharp Hawks&quot; was written on a couple of these and after little investigating I came to find out that they were a popular beat/pop group in Japan. I won the bid (really low by the way) and was pleasantly surprised when the needle hit the grooves on these. All five of these 45&#39;s are extremely cool with twangy guitars, cheezy organs, and even some cool fuzz thrown in. Although some of the vocals are corny, the ten tracks on the whole are very hip. I&#39;m going to spare you more commentary on the rest of these because A. they&#39;re very similar, and B. I don&#39;t understand Japanese, but I was able to translate the titles and they are all listed here to the best of my ability. BONUS. These 45&#39;s were all released in STEREO!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Blue Things - You Can Live In Our Tree / Twist And Shout&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;(1967)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvghTyx5RoqHHyQvBuVl_Zmklt862_MBWJXSF6NLU5AOgorlMGtwgSPoqAl2D8ZXsrjvZ2VuMInkaI8deoN7jzopjM3x1jQIkO7SjKORsyHq2w1MkKoRtXo_9aD0OkJ9sKnNfGgBHQl-c/s1118/bluethings.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1118&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1104&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvghTyx5RoqHHyQvBuVl_Zmklt862_MBWJXSF6NLU5AOgorlMGtwgSPoqAl2D8ZXsrjvZ2VuMInkaI8deoN7jzopjM3x1jQIkO7SjKORsyHq2w1MkKoRtXo_9aD0OkJ9sKnNfGgBHQl-c/w395-h400/bluethings.jpg&quot; width=&quot;395&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I finally did it. This was the last 45 I needed to find to complete my Blue Things collection of 45&#39;s. I&#39;m not exactly a &quot;completist&quot;, I mean I have a lot of Beatles 45&#39;s too but I&#39;m not going to go out and find every iteration of &quot;I Want To Hold You Hand&quot; that was ever released, although I must admit I have this weird thing about those 45&#39;s on the &quot;Hit&quot; label out of Nashville, TN. You know the 29¢ knock offs of hits that were covered by such luminaries as The Jalopy Five? I&#39;m always looking for those, but I digress. I had managed to get my hands on every other 45 by The Blue Things a while ago. Except for this one and it&#39;s definitely one of their best. I&#39;m pretty sure their whacked out version of &quot;Twist And Shout&quot; was erroneously put on an Eva Records comp featuring &quot;Texas Punk Bands From The Sixties&quot; We now know that they were indeed from Kansas.

They&#39;re just really good. I first heard &quot;White Lies&quot; when I was perhaps 13 or 14 years old and even back then I knew it was a great song. So great I had to include it in the edition of Dan&#39;s Garage. Nils Lofgren was barely in his twenties when re recorded this and was featured on Grin&#39;s 1+1 LP. This is Nils&#39; crowning achievement as far as songwriting goes as I&#39;ve tried to dig his other songs, which are good, but not nearly as good as this one. I hope you all like it as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Neon Boys - Love Comes In Spurts / That&#39;s All I Know (1980)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFwM5tWlr-G7wDQk8-_7ckDUrbRcmoq3bWtj_cesgpKawT7QnKMHLVYaFVdrOsoQJbNGIPcwN0hpY-Ds3hZSFgxytv5Pf5osM8dqytnp7RNEDQ5kj20LHDJZ2Ichcg7aWxUcMNabCgVhE/s1104/neon+boys.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1104&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1093&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFwM5tWlr-G7wDQk8-_7ckDUrbRcmoq3bWtj_cesgpKawT7QnKMHLVYaFVdrOsoQJbNGIPcwN0hpY-Ds3hZSFgxytv5Pf5osM8dqytnp7RNEDQ5kj20LHDJZ2Ichcg7aWxUcMNabCgVhE/w396-h400/neon+boys.jpg&quot; width=&quot;396&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Richard Hell &amp;amp; The Voidoids - Dont Die / Time (1980)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji5tg2Cm_QBHSZvWFwOp95gYkauZCCGd-Z4-ZTbPPxtjD5K4MybXi_2w2PbgwnCZEmlzI-IpS3u2xTLoZW6PiCgpe_ZOAaHsy4WbEJWkeEaukq5SmGiCgwO5JrrRvKBdWnO-hHSbsvy3I/s1094/richard+hell.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1094&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1087&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji5tg2Cm_QBHSZvWFwOp95gYkauZCCGd-Z4-ZTbPPxtjD5K4MybXi_2w2PbgwnCZEmlzI-IpS3u2xTLoZW6PiCgpe_ZOAaHsy4WbEJWkeEaukq5SmGiCgwO5JrrRvKBdWnO-hHSbsvy3I/w398-h400/richard+hell.jpg&quot; width=&quot;398&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;In the late 70&#39;s I really got into punk rock. I mean &lt;i&gt;really &lt;/i&gt;got into it. My oldest brother Vinny was a record collector (it runs in the family I suppose) and he once brought home a copy of &quot;Live At C.B.G.B.&#39;s&quot; and was kind of raving about all the cool and weird bands that were on it like The Laughing Dogs, The Tuff Darts, Mink Deville, The Shirts, etc. and the sounds were amazing. I discovered that you didn&#39;t have to be a virtuoso guitarist ala Jimmy Page to actually strike a nerve. My brother Vic was a guitarist (that also runs in the family) and was playing in a band that was doing some proto punk type stuff at the time and their lead singer came over one day with a copy of Iggy And The Stooges&#39; &quot;Raw Power&quot;. I was sold.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;It was around that time the the word &quot;punk&quot; was being used to describe the new sounds of &#39;76 and &#39;77 and the place to find these cool sounds were at a record store called &quot;Record Theatre&quot;. It was a chain, but someone in charge was getting stuff from the U.K. and their import bins were stocked with the newest releases. Soon they broadened their scope and one of the LP&#39;s that I found was Richard Hell and The Voidoids &quot;Blank Generation&quot;. I soon had amassed quite a collection of punk and new wave LP&#39;s. Unfortunately I sold a good bit of them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Fast forward to around 1986 when I was at the height of my 60&#39;s garage band persona and collecting every 45 I could get my hands on. This was one of them, and I found it interesting that not only Richard Hell was on this with The Voidoids, but with a Pre-Television Neon Boys as well. This is a stunning E.P. and a great example of what was brewing in New York City at at the time. I&#39;m not sure when these four songs were recorded, but it probably wasn&#39;t 1980 as the record would indicate. Any additional info would be appreciated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Hello friends and followers!!!!! After an eight month sabbatical with this blog, I&#39;ve dusted off my keyboard, revved up my turntable, and got back to posting stuff after an incredibly long and depressing period of time. Although the records aren&#39;t pouring in at a frenzied pace these days, they do trickle in every so often, and some of them are really cool. I&#39;m still trying to organize my &quot;posted&quot;, and &quot;unposted&quot; 45&#39;s, and there&#39;s quite a few to be ripped yet. I did acquire some new equipment back in May, a nice shiny new Audio Technica AT-LP120X which for me does the trick as it&#39;s more suited to DJing, but I kinda miss the auto return of my trusty old Technics SL-D202, which has too many quirks now to be totally reliable, so I quietly put it on the shelf with my other half dozen or so turntables and am giving it a rest until I can find another suitable use for it. The AT is great because it really keeps the record speed firmly where it belongs and the the whole thing is just more stable so what you get are better sounding recordings. Everyone wins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;As usual, I&#39;ve plucked a nice sample of goods from my collection to share with you. Some great garage, frat, pop, and psychedelia for your listening pleasure. I hope you all enjoy them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cat&#39;s Meow - La La Lu / Confusion (1966)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis2Y1rTjeZwENmnMadxsdMoIH5vdT-JuHBfO8eHBvTZdHqB5Z5vNNhQuqZhqhrAPKT6c8ARRrGgrdbPb8J4h7Ja3o-PsZqD306Yr0V0XENRLgmXswY5-quCeMNIiLFWlEqTpvgJTtjKMw/s1130/cats+meowy.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1130&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1116&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis2Y1rTjeZwENmnMadxsdMoIH5vdT-JuHBfO8eHBvTZdHqB5Z5vNNhQuqZhqhrAPKT6c8ARRrGgrdbPb8J4h7Ja3o-PsZqD306Yr0V0XENRLgmXswY5-quCeMNIiLFWlEqTpvgJTtjKMw/w395-h400/cats+meowy.jpg&quot; width=&quot;395&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The Cat&#39;s Meow were from Staten Island, NY and released two 45&#39;s on Decca this one being the first from about April of 1966 and the second was &quot;House Of Kicks&quot; which was featured on Pebbles Vol. 13. The A side here is terrific garage pop with lots of cool guitar breaks and an overall upbeat feel to it, the B side is a frantic instrumental. Apparently, this record was somewhat of a hit in Germany and Australia. Should&#39;ve been a hit here in the U.S.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;17th Avenue Exits - A Man Can Cry / I Ain&#39;t Gonna Eat Out My&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Heart Anymore (1966)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheMvtXGqx2rseSmKAQK7IuihB8UJGuUwU37h9OYj8G_XB6-2haV5NVoHJD40gxmXnqGXNEcsnHzOB2YcdkvEXCo9QuElLkea01Al5xtyOcbGCK8GqmMttdlBKb9NVxeLh47HdOZ7mJU2g/s1122/17th+ave.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1116&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1122&quot; height=&quot;398&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheMvtXGqx2rseSmKAQK7IuihB8UJGuUwU37h9OYj8G_XB6-2haV5NVoHJD40gxmXnqGXNEcsnHzOB2YcdkvEXCo9QuElLkea01Al5xtyOcbGCK8GqmMttdlBKb9NVxeLh47HdOZ7mJU2g/w400-h398/17th+ave.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;After doing a wee bit of research on this particular 45, I dicovered that it was released twice. The first was on &quot;Big Bry Sound&quot; out of Mobile, AL in 1966. It must have done well regionally because in April of 1967, Modern Records out of Los Angeles, a label known mostly for it&#39;s R&amp;amp;B roster picked it up. Both sides are pretty good garage cavers with lot&#39;s of fuzzy guitars, the A side being a cover of Johnny Rivers&#39; &quot;A Man Can Cry&quot;, and the B side a rework of The Young Rascals&#39; &quot;I Ain&#39;t Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Danny King - Outside Of My Room / Amen (1966)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGbdr8Uiw-i7ubrRBgVUizdDtA8dVt5T3Ll5lwlqtTRYkPaHDaiX6vGbzD_y1RlGhjHiNjaeBCU88-RJzPsY9yShTRgVedmHCcrSE2-RLpfmnafcYaVtCW1Pk1T7PkXROP4hK8nKBjxw0/s1114/danny+king.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1114&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1103&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGbdr8Uiw-i7ubrRBgVUizdDtA8dVt5T3Ll5lwlqtTRYkPaHDaiX6vGbzD_y1RlGhjHiNjaeBCU88-RJzPsY9yShTRgVedmHCcrSE2-RLpfmnafcYaVtCW1Pk1T7PkXROP4hK8nKBjxw0/w396-h400/danny+king.jpg&quot; width=&quot;396&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Danny King from Birmingham, had a short career in the U.K. during the early to mid 60&#39;s. Although he never had any big hits, his claim to fame was having bands that included members of The Move and The Moody Blues at one time or another. One story I read stated that The Moodies were his backing band just before they split with him and started having their own success. I&#39;m not sure whos playing on this 45, but it&#39;s a very nice beat two sider with a &quot;teen&quot; feel to it.

As you can hear from this 45, they generally stuck to the typical formula that most frat/rock bands from the sixties used, a sax, keyboard, some cheesy guitar licks, etc. They later would add more horns to their act and release a version of &quot;Pain&quot; on Charlie records, a song originally done by a group from North Carolina called &quot;Novas Nine&quot;. That record got picked up by Metromedia in 1970 (also becoming simply &quot;The Mystics&quot;) and became a regional hit. Interesting note...Bill Lordan who played with Sly &amp;amp; The Family Stone and was the long time drummer for Robin Trower played for a while in the Mystics and played on &quot;Pain&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&quot;E&quot; Types - She Moves Me / The Love Of The Loved (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaLMcgW6E9VrL4rMj_NdQ1iG_LABa-rXKgd1KN4PCmGqlMTCfdUHKok7dDWrONZRMkj8McMLAxMZaQY-OAkXX8YAazujbIA97O71_DR97puuSTDV-GVLgZUob3xefL-SsxOEBj4o5lzw8/s1108/e+types.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1108&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1084&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaLMcgW6E9VrL4rMj_NdQ1iG_LABa-rXKgd1KN4PCmGqlMTCfdUHKok7dDWrONZRMkj8McMLAxMZaQY-OAkXX8YAazujbIA97O71_DR97puuSTDV-GVLgZUob3xefL-SsxOEBj4o5lzw8/w391-h400/e+types.jpg&quot; width=&quot;391&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The &quot;E&quot; Types were from Salinas, CA and had four 45&#39;s, the most famous being, &quot;Put The Clock Back On The Wall&quot; which came out on Tower records and was produced by Ed Cobb, the guy that produced the &quot;Dirty Water&quot; era Standells and The Chocolate Watchband. He also produced this very nice two sider which isn&#39;t as much garage as it is pop, but the &quot;E&quot; Types were pretty adept at injecting that garage/psyche vibe to their records.

This is one of them. The first time I ever heard this I said to myself, &quot;that is a great song&quot;. &#39;Lie In The Shade Of The Sun&quot; is no &quot;killer&quot; by any stretch. It has no fuzz guitars, no snotty vocals, no primal screams, but it&#39;s the spooky subdued nature of this tune that really gets to me. Cool organ fills, a haunting vocal, and snappy drums make this 45 a true winner IMHO.

This one here from &#39;67 is a very nice version of The Buffalo Springfield&#39;s &quot;Flying On The Ground&quot; and The Cascades were most likely backed up by The Wrecking Crew on this one (they played on Rhythm Of The Rain) since Jack Nitzsche had the honors of producing this.

I think they even made an appearance at the Monterrey Pop Festival in 1967. Their style is a mixed bag of pop and psychedelia and this 45 is a bit on the folk/loner side. It&#39;s mainly acoustic and kind of &quot;progressive&quot; for lack of a better term. They started in 1965 and it looked like they were on the cusp of fame but somehow, like many bands from that era, success eluded them and they finally hung it up around 1970.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Vanilla Fudge - Hold On / I Can Make It Alone (1969)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEVz1wFnql8a_xNUk_qUXcH4lX3z26uIrPesfElYkjvVbKt5cZmFdXq9HQTWT8jRWAG9LO4Y4VfjOepJnv-4drMXuFlOpN7t_TvOKcynXENHClpNH2AJrs3TxjedxsHti1SlLwLy62ptc/s1119/vanilla+fudge.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1119&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1116&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEVz1wFnql8a_xNUk_qUXcH4lX3z26uIrPesfElYkjvVbKt5cZmFdXq9HQTWT8jRWAG9LO4Y4VfjOepJnv-4drMXuFlOpN7t_TvOKcynXENHClpNH2AJrs3TxjedxsHti1SlLwLy62ptc/w399-h400/vanilla+fudge.jpg&quot; width=&quot;399&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;YEAH BABY!

Nothing that a little bit of surf &#39;n turf wont take care of!!!! That being said, all was fine and we hope yours was as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Records have been trickling in slowly these past few months, but we still have many untapped resources, so let&#39;s get right to it with NUMBER 114!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;UPDATE!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;For those of you who are still asking to update dead links, #1 through 85 are&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://theegarage.blogspot.com/2019/03/re-ups.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and #86 through 131 are &lt;a href=&quot;https://theegarage.blogspot.com/2019/03/re-ups-part-2.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HERE.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Every post beyond that should have a working link.

This is their first 45 originally released on the local Brass label and was picked up by Decca for release on their Coral subsidiary. They released other records on Brass simply as &quot;The Fab Four&quot;, changed their name to &quot;Next Exit&quot; for a release on Warner Bros., went back to The Fab Four for a one shot on Pearce, and ended up releasing a 45 as &quot;Kansas City&quot; on The Trump label (no relation to the former Pres.). In all, their output was really good, especially their second 45 on Brass, &quot;I&#39;m Always Doing Something Wrong&quot;, one of the great teen garage janglers from the mid sixties. This 45&#39;s is no slouch either as the A side is a rather moody garage ballad, and the B side is some of the finest Garage/Pop to come out of the 1960&#39;s.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Sounds Like Us - Clock On The Wall / Outside Chance (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaVidlKgidLyA1LRFXvJnmEMxGHHCuWYhhrqhptBwagFremOCbM5b-NTwofGdbbogn6cp77CJXGKnMXjPAuXcfg3S2liWpPMkwYk1BpPgwglIcgg0g-18-0pu41ImnMlLOtA5bqze7zK4/s1127/sounds+like+us.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1127&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1115&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaVidlKgidLyA1LRFXvJnmEMxGHHCuWYhhrqhptBwagFremOCbM5b-NTwofGdbbogn6cp77CJXGKnMXjPAuXcfg3S2liWpPMkwYk1BpPgwglIcgg0g-18-0pu41ImnMlLOtA5bqze7zK4/w395-h400/sounds+like+us.jpg&quot; width=&quot;395&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Apparently from Duluth, MN, these guys decided to cover two of the era&#39;s better songs, The Guess Who&#39;s &quot;Clock On The Wall&quot;, and The Turtles&#39; &quot;Outside Chance&quot;.

This is just pure conjecture here, because I wasn&#39;t there, but they did leave us with a couple of cool 45&#39;s including this one which is another double two sided cover record.

This guy sounds a bit like Randy Newman to me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The Fox - The Astrology Song / The Man, The Man (196?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_AH4WtEsktXEDFLhMaFWQ-zncvJr4F8N6tS_qEBVIMOLsp0u7VtLAetWkbH953XgnbLwHLQ1b_rgkque84r_iErm4qUSGs46b5xCNl5XTlfyXzSJXjHm1VqgvID3abpZx-yi-D8OLM38/s1106/the+fox.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1106&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1103&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_AH4WtEsktXEDFLhMaFWQ-zncvJr4F8N6tS_qEBVIMOLsp0u7VtLAetWkbH953XgnbLwHLQ1b_rgkque84r_iErm4qUSGs46b5xCNl5XTlfyXzSJXjHm1VqgvID3abpZx-yi-D8OLM38/w398-h400/the+fox.jpg&quot; width=&quot;398&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s another total dead end in the info dept. This 45 is another, well, sort of, &quot;novelty&quot; record, but I&#39;m not sure it was intended to so. But I might be wrong, I think these guys were just really stoned. I have no idea who &quot;The Fox&quot; was but he probably cut this garage/psychedelic two sider sometime in the late 60&#39;s, possibly the early 70&#39;s, but judging by the way it sounds, I&#39;d say....1969! &quot;The Astrology Song&quot; is a rundown of all the signs of the zodiac he&#39;s encountered, and the Fox explains all their diverse thoughts, or something like that. The flip, or the actual &quot;A&quot; side here is even better as The Fox warns all of us about &quot;The Man&quot;, the &quot;fuzz&quot; to be exact going around town looking &quot;for someone to bust&quot; all sung to a Bo Diddley beat with some cool B-3 organ and bongos in the mix. I probably should mention that this was released on the &quot;Rings Of Saturn&quot; label and the &quot;executive producer&quot; was &quot;High Priest Smoking Bear&quot;. Far out man!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Wild Cherries - Wigwaum / Whistle Stop Revue (1971)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqvfAobnFaZncJgFeEW7baEmWNS11d3gQ_7iOSkuWuA1xwHW7pkjFKjZoTOaY-kWodbr8QYY2pW-uwc5FbMPVEi415MPYwozG6h79TUSkEYSpMdRIiTmvi7-dOJtVWkYyQyCIdsqSLetU/s1118/wild+cherries.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1118&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1107&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqvfAobnFaZncJgFeEW7baEmWNS11d3gQ_7iOSkuWuA1xwHW7pkjFKjZoTOaY-kWodbr8QYY2pW-uwc5FbMPVEi415MPYwozG6h79TUSkEYSpMdRIiTmvi7-dOJtVWkYyQyCIdsqSLetU/w395-h400/wild+cherries.jpg&quot; width=&quot;395&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Some very nice bubblegum out of Iowa. &quot;Wigwaum&quot;, is ok, typical bubblegum stuff from this era, but the flip is way cooler and probably represents what the band really sounded like.

I&#39;m not talking about groups like The Animals, Them, The Yardbirds, Rolling Stones et al, I mean Ten Years After, Chicken Shack, Savoy Brown, John Mayall, and on this here 45, one of his drummers, Keef Hartley. Hartley split with Mayall around 1967 or 68. He played on Mayall&#39;s &quot;Crusade&quot; LP which I think is one of the finest examples of British Blues pressed on to vinyl (Mayall&#39;s LP with Eric Clapton is way better though ;)). After his departure, Hartley formed an act quite similar to The Bluesbreakers and featured a few of Mayall&#39;s former sidemen, so when this 45 became available at a very nice price, I took a stab at it and was pleasantly surprised. It&#39;s &quot;British Blues&quot; at it&#39;s finest. Guitarist Miller Anderson shines on this and he would later team up with Kim Simmonds and Stan Webb (of Chicken Shack) and record an LP as Savoy Brown called &quot;Boogie Brothers&quot;. I used to have most of Keef Hartley&#39;s LP&#39;s and sold them off in the mid 80&#39;s. Right now, I kinda wish I had those records back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot;

Glad to be here whipping up another post for you and getting it done in a timely fashion as well. I haven&#39;t got any rants today so I&#39;ll just get right to it by mentioning that #140 is another &quot;mixed bag&quot; of 45&#39;s as I grab unsorted handfuls out of boxes and start spinning them on the turntable. We&#39;ve got some garage, blue eyed soul, pop/psych, and a rather amusing honky tonk tune for all you country &amp;amp; western fans.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I&#39;d just like to mention again that &quot;Dan&#39;s Garage&quot; is also a radio show! We&#39;re streaming on the web @ &lt;a href=&quot;http://radiofreephoenix.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Radio Free Phoenix&lt;/a&gt; on Wednesdays at 10:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, and we repeat the show on Sundays 2:00 PM @ &lt;a href=&quot;http://deepoldies.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Deep Oldies.&lt;/a&gt; Check it out, we&#39;re sure you&#39;ll enjoy it, and as if THAT isn&#39;t enough, we also have a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP02q62DFmfwIwzxyrOrPbQ?view_as=subscriber&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;YouTube channel&lt;/a&gt;, so you can hear music and imagine all those little platters spinning around on a turntable as well!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Oh by the way, if you&#39;d like to listen to past shows you can do so at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mixcloud.com/dan-frank2/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mixcloud&lt;/a&gt;. Just a disclaimer here...I&#39;m not a &quot;pro&quot; user so the functions are somewhat limited, in other words you can&#39;t FF or rewind and I believe the track list functions are limited as well.

This was one of those records that was listed as &quot;garage&quot; by a seller I buy from often, but as you will hear, this is definitely what most of us would call &quot;blue eyed soul&quot;, not that that&#39;s a bad thing, in fact, I like this record a lot which is why I included it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Moore - Come On / White Silk Glove (1967)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTL7i7B2IFEDthhz61UIGLs8kjPPcNb1detLLV1ml8cKmgEZGZ_Bwk-tPJDFWJYLk1C-JTk_XTGZ2JIzy3RWuAFz_Ys1oX5ix8JvBjaSbgo7-LZwaRpbLlrCPxRyh_9i-TNO4xVKwIqFQ/s1129/matthew+moore+silk+glove.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1119&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1129&quot; height=&quot;395&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTL7i7B2IFEDthhz61UIGLs8kjPPcNb1detLLV1ml8cKmgEZGZ_Bwk-tPJDFWJYLk1C-JTk_XTGZ2JIzy3RWuAFz_Ys1oX5ix8JvBjaSbgo7-LZwaRpbLlrCPxRyh_9i-TNO4xVKwIqFQ/w400-h395/matthew+moore+silk+glove.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Matthew Moore had several 45&#39;s on a few different labels but outside of that I don&#39;t much about this guy either. What I did discover though, was that he had a somewhat close association with David Marks, ex-Beach Boys guitarist and they both went on to form &quot;The Moon&quot;, a band that had a few 45&#39;s on Imperial records. He had a KILLER version of Buffy Ste. Marie&#39;s &quot;Codyne&quot; in 1965, but I&#39;m afraid this one falls a bit short of that one. This 45 is definitely what I would describe as &quot;mod&quot; for lack of a better description. It moves along quite well with some fuzzy guitars and a few horns as well.

The Raves were from Brooklyn, NY, and unlike their contemporaries from the tri-state area, they didn&#39;t go for the &quot;Rascals&quot;, &quot;Vanilla Fudge&quot;, &quot;Vagrants&quot; style with a heavy Hammond B-3 organ sound, they were a lot more like The Blues Magoos. This 45 is pretty genius if you ask me, and the somewhat complex arrangements are pretty cool as well. Great guitars, wild cheezy organ riffs, it&#39;s a great example of a garage/psyche two sider. I hesitate to even brand these guys as &quot;garage&quot; because they sound so professional. They had three 45&#39;s on Smash, the first is pretty much what you hear on this one and it was featured in IDG#4. Their last one &quot;Everything&#39;s Fire&quot; is really good as well, but heads in a heavier direction and had some horns thrown in as well. Oddly enough that last one is the most &quot;desirable&quot; of the three, but I think it pales alongside this one IMHO.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Circus Maximus - Lonely Man / Negative Dreamer Girl (1967)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDy_JJDDoqw3wxFBxo_gaAjvqUyKdNIy3WNHCw3NmqSsRQbUV0XHkxLVP1kkwdhMyOqj_YxSx5-BRfdIKZT4P2HjD5zucnH9vQSCVvNQhf9Ba2qtRtn2Vtgzk9wr-7ylOkp61u_I5jMrE/s1110/circus+maximus.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1110&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1088&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDy_JJDDoqw3wxFBxo_gaAjvqUyKdNIy3WNHCw3NmqSsRQbUV0XHkxLVP1kkwdhMyOqj_YxSx5-BRfdIKZT4P2HjD5zucnH9vQSCVvNQhf9Ba2qtRtn2Vtgzk9wr-7ylOkp61u_I5jMrE/w393-h400/circus+maximus.jpg&quot; width=&quot;393&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;A group out of Austin, TX that included Jerry Jeff Walker, the guy who wrote &quot;Mr. Bojangles&quot;.

The song was originally sung by The Jaynetts, who everyone describes as a &quot;one hit wonder&quot;. I personally hate that term because although many groups throughout the history of Rock &amp;amp; Roll, R&amp;amp;B, Soul, etc. have had only &quot;one hit&quot;, quite often you&#39;ll hear a body of music that is sadly overlooked, but I digress. The Great Society which featured a pre-Jefferson Airplane Grace Slick, performed this song live at The Matrix and was released on a 45 by Columbia Records. This version is quite similar with it&#39;s haunting eerie vibe. An excellent 45 if I do say so!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Meditations - Transcendental Meditations / Beautiful Experience (1967)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwrjEmUH8L9IW8fNc5yQEOUL6iv24vKKmAblM2j5IG1ND0E20bXS-GttUHZ8sJUmVQIgBBqdzFvVAbc5i02uEqOj2XOqNcZGzLbLqrQ_RVbmE7zfD-EPZlC5eZPzLi92fQIwlPhQFdNs0/s1136/meditations.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1136&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1113&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwrjEmUH8L9IW8fNc5yQEOUL6iv24vKKmAblM2j5IG1ND0E20bXS-GttUHZ8sJUmVQIgBBqdzFvVAbc5i02uEqOj2XOqNcZGzLbLqrQ_RVbmE7zfD-EPZlC5eZPzLi92fQIwlPhQFdNs0/w393-h400/meditations.jpg&quot; width=&quot;393&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Well...I told you this was going to be a mixed bag, and this 45 really takes things in another direction entirely.

Of the three French EP&#39;s I aquired were two by Noel Deschamps who, from what I can estimate, was was a very popular singer in France. Although some might think these are a tad bit overproduced, perhaps because he was such a big pop star, they&#39;re actually really cool. Two of these tracks are really decent covers, one of The Brigands classic punker &quot;Would I Still Be Her Big Man&quot;, and a cover of John Mayall &amp;amp; The Bluesbreakers&#39; &quot;I&#39;m Your Witchdoctor&quot;. The other two songs are great as well. I have another one of these by Noel which I will feature in a future post.

This 45 is OK, and I&#39;m only including it here because of it&#39;s cheezy lo-fi sound. This 45 certainly has the same vibe as the Cranberry Mustache&#39;s 45 and so like a lot of the 45&#39;s of this nature, it grew on me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Neil MacArthur - It&#39;s Not Easy / Twelve Twenty Nine (1969)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT89d_fYLWNOmUr8AZEbBxD1F8BhiLBDNvVP1xB6B3uNeZgWM_J9QpWSfbcWOaw9MnpfgAP3GevVjKqJTQxLJ5iSuilpXl-lJgj5wBQW9XxoG0XoPz-0dr6xmriMa8WGBVlkZMWynTwT0/s1092/neil+macarthur.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1092&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1081&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT89d_fYLWNOmUr8AZEbBxD1F8BhiLBDNvVP1xB6B3uNeZgWM_J9QpWSfbcWOaw9MnpfgAP3GevVjKqJTQxLJ5iSuilpXl-lJgj5wBQW9XxoG0XoPz-0dr6xmriMa8WGBVlkZMWynTwT0/w395-h400/neil+macarthur.jpg&quot; width=&quot;395&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s one of those 45&#39;s I got in my recent haul of way cool records. My wife and I were trying to find cool things to watch on Netflix, I myself am happy to watch reruns of The Saint and Columbo, but my lovely wife likes something a bit more, &quot;engaging&quot; and she definitely hates shows in Black &amp;amp; White. I had heard that the Netflix series &quot;The Queen&quot; was very good so we commenced watching it and we were both sucked in, HEAVILY. So, at the end of one of those episodes while the credits were trailing off, a version of &quot;She&#39;s Not There&quot; played. I was suddenly intrigued and discovered that it was a post Zombies Colin Blunstone with the nom de plume of &quot;Neil MacArthur&quot;. I swear I am a HUGE Zombies fan, and I think Colin&#39;s voice is one of the most unique in the history of rock &amp;amp; roll, so I set out looking for his post Zombies, pre-solo career work. It turns out he had three 45&#39;s on Deram as Neil MacArthur so when two came up for auction I jumped right on them, and although they are very well produced POP 45&#39;s, Colin&#39;s voice is unmistakable, so I basically consider this an extension of the Zombie&#39;s legacy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Little Bob Story - All Or Nothing / Hot And Sweaty (1977)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfpZrIu9GEsFae3SBDwbQ6KVPMglUgi-2LWxxa5TYjoympr4orry5MA3zQfSB5WXeNmc8_djrNHzgnZwfITiaSoiN39xVyXcx5vAJkV5W0yLg4VeP_u0PSbwSor13ySZo7LYBP1IHVKE/s1134/little+bob+story.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1134&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1131&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfpZrIu9GEsFae3SBDwbQ6KVPMglUgi-2LWxxa5TYjoympr4orry5MA3zQfSB5WXeNmc8_djrNHzgnZwfITiaSoiN39xVyXcx5vAJkV5W0yLg4VeP_u0PSbwSor13ySZo7LYBP1IHVKE/w398-h400/little+bob+story.jpg&quot; width=&quot;398&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Little Bob a/k/a Roberto Piazza, was the bandleader of Little Bob Story, a way cool band from the mid to late 70&#39;s which for lack of a better description, were a &quot;pub rock&quot; band from France. I have one of their 12&quot; EP&#39;s on Chiswick which is one of my favorite records ever, but when I came across this 45 I had to nab it. A side is a cover of a very good Steve Marriot era Small Faces song and the B side is great as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Ernie Hoppe - I&#39;m A Loser (1970)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFcdo_zhs-p7jFznnf9vMRL3iIipz7Ob6_2z7SlqBsAPJOCEXZF7DKuJ-eXEqh-dDhz2yxPFXfvb-zvAhmeBQxeuCKSKJnn2Hkr6NPyWxWylhKzc695bmA5Pe9pdXuvvCPfBlN_iXzZs/s1121/ernie+hoppe.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1121&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1112&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFcdo_zhs-p7jFznnf9vMRL3iIipz7Ob6_2z7SlqBsAPJOCEXZF7DKuJ-eXEqh-dDhz2yxPFXfvb-zvAhmeBQxeuCKSKJnn2Hkr6NPyWxWylhKzc695bmA5Pe9pdXuvvCPfBlN_iXzZs/w395-h400/ernie+hoppe.jpg&quot; width=&quot;395&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I warned you. This was going to be an &quot;eclectic&quot; roundup of 45&#39;s for this post and this one&#39;s the icing on the cake. As of late, I have become a big fan of &quot;Honky Tonk&quot; style Country &amp;amp; Western music. My favorite right now is Porter Waggoner, and everything that falls into that wheelhouse. So when someone has a half dozen really obscure 45&#39;s like this at a very cheap price, I jump on it immediately, so I received this lot 45&#39;s from the famous &quot;Camaro&quot; label out of Memphis, TN. If you haven&#39;t been there, you ought to go (wait for this carona shit to go away, you don&#39;t want to be visiting in masks and all that crap) it&#39;s a cool town. Visit Beale Street, Pig BBQ, The Sun Studio, The Stax Museum of Soul, and Graceland. It&#39;s worth it. Seriously, you smell BBQ when you get off the plane. Anyway, Camaro records was based out of Memphis, and they had a somewhat diverse roster of acts, including Ernie Hoppe here who performs a very cool rendition of The Beatles&#39; &quot;I&#39;m A Loser&quot; and takes the writing credit himself to boot!!!! He probably thought that his fans had never listened to a Beatles record in their lives, so he figured he could probably get away with it. GOTCHA ERNIE!!!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;

text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Greetings music lovers!!! Glad to be working at the ol&#39; keyboard and turntable spinning cool 45&#39;s for our pleasure, and as usual I&#39;d like to give a big thanks to all of our friends and followers out there enjoying my little slice of the cyber universe. I had an issue with my old scanner which workrd just fine, even after I migrated to Windows 10 earlier this year, but I unplugged it from the PC and for some reason I couldn&#39;t get the son-of-a-bitch to work anymore. I threw up my hands and bought a new one which as you can see works just fine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Unlike the last post which was sort of a kookfest, I&#39;ve gone back to more &quot;traditional&quot; fare here (whatever &quot;traditional&quot; means on this blog), and I spun a bunch of&amp;nbsp; 45&#39;s that focus on garage, surf, psych, freakbeat, and pop from the 60&#39;s and early 70&#39;s. As usual, I hope you all enjoy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;As I was perusing records on Ebay these past few weeks, I&#39;ve noticed how &quot;Garage&quot; records, and 45&#39;s in particular, have split into many &quot;sub-genres&quot;. I know how this kind of thing irritates purists to no end, but I, as an avid collector, find it very interesting. Let me just preface this by informing all out there that this is strictly my opinion and hypothesis on this phenomenon, and I&#39;m sure that there are a whole bunch of you out there that will either agree or completely disagree with it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;When I started collecting what at the time we called &quot;Garage and Psychedelic&quot; 45&#39;s, the benchmark was Nuggets, Pebbles, and Boulders, three seminal comp series that reshaped my way of looking at the history of rock &amp;amp; roll. When I first discovered these I still thought songs like &quot;For What It&#39;s Worth&quot; &amp;amp; &quot;Space Cowboy&quot; were really far out. &quot;Venus&quot; by Shocking Blue??? Definitely a deep cut man. I eventually got turned on to &quot;Nuggets&quot; (the original LP) which by today&#39;s standards, is held up as the genesis of all that cool garage and psychedelic shit. It was on a 90 min. cassette tape and the rest was filled with a &quot;best of&quot; from the Pebbles series. This was truly heavy stuff at the time and all I wanted was &lt;i&gt;more. &lt;/i&gt;It was nice having a band like The Chesterfield Kings in town, and having Greg Prevost working at the House Of Guitars, he could guide me to the latest and greatest comps that came out that week. Eventually, I felt the need, as a record collector, to seek out originals and I spent years focusing on what were described as &quot;killers&quot;. I managed to get a few and bought bunches of other cool 45&#39;s that didn&#39;t quite fall into the &quot;killer&quot; category as well, but the main thing was I was accumulating a modest, yet very nice collection of 45&#39;s. Then I had kids. That put the kibosh on serious collecting for about 15 years as 45&#39;s only trickled in once or twice a year. A comp here, a few 45&#39;s there. I threw them in boxes and basically filed them away for the future....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;In 2009 I discovered that you could have your own forum on the web, this little thing we call &quot;blogging&quot;. I also discovered that good records could be had for a reasonable price on Ebay if you played your cards right. Another discovery was how sellers were plying their wares as &quot;garage&quot;, but were nothing like what I considered garage &quot;back in the day&quot;. Now you have &quot;Pop Psych&quot;, &quot;Sunshine Pop&quot;, &quot;Tittyshakers&quot;, &quot;Teen Garage&quot;, &quot;Garage Soul&quot;, &quot;Mod&quot;, &quot;Mod Dancer&quot;, &quot;Heavy Psych&quot;, &quot;Bonehead Crunchers&quot;, &quot;Outsider&quot;,&amp;nbsp; the list is endless, and they all sort of fall under that &quot;hip&quot; umbrella. Know what I mean????&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Personally, I&#39;m glad things shook out this way. While greedy sellers are trying to dupe people by advertising Dave Clark 5 45&#39;s as garage, if you sniff around you&#39;ll find some very cool sounds that break away from the &quot;Garage&quot; orthodoxy. I can listen to records that I thought were complete shit when I bought them 30 years ago, and actually appreciate them now with a fresh set of ears.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So as I enter my fifth decade of collecting records (holy shit, I &lt;i&gt;AM&lt;/i&gt; GETTING OLD!!!), I have learned to appreciate all the different sounds that deserve play here on this blog. Although the title of this blog is &quot;Dan&#39;s Garage&quot;, it&#39;s much more than strictly a repository of&amp;nbsp; &quot;garage band records&quot;, but a look into hip sounds that that we may have missed while listening to AM or FM radio while we were growing up, and as for the younger folk out there who are digging this, we&#39;re glad you came along with us to dig all these crazy sounds from what I consider, the greatest era in music history.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Dig it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Novas - The Crusher / Take 7 (1964)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl_WSyPa8afLmamni98eN6aLiZJ7npKdy4OfRkNH8VM2ngsuoohGEw_z7vFPlD7KihEdsE38uLaZ6Ex4wzj7QYQXkEEb8Sm6AiKgavjrlgLkAIISG5remd3IKbgqFKCr00VZKFBdpcRnE/s766/novas.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;766&quot; data-original-width=&quot;736&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl_WSyPa8afLmamni98eN6aLiZJ7npKdy4OfRkNH8VM2ngsuoohGEw_z7vFPlD7KihEdsE38uLaZ6Ex4wzj7QYQXkEEb8Sm6AiKgavjrlgLkAIISG5remd3IKbgqFKCr00VZKFBdpcRnE/w383-h400/novas.jpg&quot; width=&quot;383&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s start this shindig off with a true classic. An ode to professional wrestler Reginald Lisowski a/k/a &quot;Crusher&quot; Lisowski, this Minneapolis band backs up a guy doing his best &quot;crusher&quot; bit. &quot;Do The hammer lock&quot;, &quot;Do the eye gouge&quot; as if it were the Frug, the Mashed Potato, the Twist or some other dance craze of that generation. Fortunately the dance craze never really caught on (although it did hit the Billboard charts), or else we&#39;d have a lot of broken bones and eye patches out there.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Underdogs - Judy Be Mine (Friday At The Hideout) / The Man In The Glass (1965)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNtkorlaz1kx5-F9eMH71o4ym2Exnl8oYVdAqFIf8_jXOHqXTHxLQBpPqaomSXDoSlrxeDlPK1M61e3VRZq4NsP21kpH7SRzwNcAPPfXWZwrDgLqB7H8oGvPGW7XCgH7UYjI6dAa2y1BI/s756/Underdogs2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;756&quot; data-original-width=&quot;747&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNtkorlaz1kx5-F9eMH71o4ym2Exnl8oYVdAqFIf8_jXOHqXTHxLQBpPqaomSXDoSlrxeDlPK1M61e3VRZq4NsP21kpH7SRzwNcAPPfXWZwrDgLqB7H8oGvPGW7XCgH7UYjI6dAa2y1BI/w394-h400/Underdogs2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;394&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Another bona fide classic. The Underdogs were from Grosse Point, MI and played a bunch of gigs at &quot;The Hideout&quot; and rubbed elbows with Bob Seger, The Pleasure Seekers (featuring Suzi Quatro!), and a bunch of other Michigan luminaries at the time. They had seven 45&#39;s released on Hideout, Warner Brothers, and V.I.P., which was a subsidiary of Motown and all are great but this one here is the &quot;gem&quot; of all.

Another &quot;classic&quot; so to speak.

These geniuses thought recording a record and selling it would be a good idea so they mustered up seven more guys, three to help with the singing and &quot;hand clapping&quot;, and four actual musicians, hit the studio and came up with this wild and wacky 45. For those that have never heard the B side, it&#39;s not as crazy, but pretty cool as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Bobby &amp;amp; The Bombers - &quot;Dance Time&quot; (1964)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcs_1oijOQFzhgrcDkqPYnQe_zf_t48ixiw5jCOpp7cacNhGu1FEzkT1HAbY98MfGUWCbO7MbE9xOoP6xIhsJ-Hqhy8kxZkqagKJKwTvaSZS7yn5OGwoj037vLKVwT-i-OVbmrzWWp6nE/s2048/bobby+front.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;2048&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2021&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcs_1oijOQFzhgrcDkqPYnQe_zf_t48ixiw5jCOpp7cacNhGu1FEzkT1HAbY98MfGUWCbO7MbE9xOoP6xIhsJ-Hqhy8kxZkqagKJKwTvaSZS7yn5OGwoj037vLKVwT-i-OVbmrzWWp6nE/w394-h400/bobby+front.jpg&quot; width=&quot;394&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I was on social media this past February, and one of my neighbors asked who their favorite band was when they were teenagers growing up. One of them wrote &quot;Bobby &amp;amp; The Bombers&quot; who were a local act from Irondeqoit, a suburb of Rochester which is on the other&amp;nbsp;side of the Genssee River from where I reside. I recall my buddy Chuck Ciriello bringing this over for one of our &quot;taping sessions&quot; which we did quite often back in the 80&#39;s and remembered it being a cool local artifact. So I subsequently&amp;nbsp;looked on Ebay on the off chance there would be a copy for sale and there it was. For a mere &quot;bag of&amp;nbsp;shells&quot; and, it came with the nifty jacket as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW0g7mVL8e6lHvQUq9p-cfg-gIR9Bt0IOZ7wYFr742DuDmE80qJt-_p7h86DySVDW0R2WLnBnamF_tS-JhzGL-SoLDQN0Mw-J0eXaupWuoQnFXvH-snUL1YCIzKg4I16dao728AQgGHdM/s2048/bobby+back.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;2048&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1980&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW0g7mVL8e6lHvQUq9p-cfg-gIR9Bt0IOZ7wYFr742DuDmE80qJt-_p7h86DySVDW0R2WLnBnamF_tS-JhzGL-SoLDQN0Mw-J0eXaupWuoQnFXvH-snUL1YCIzKg4I16dao728AQgGHdM/w385-h400/bobby+back.jpg&quot; width=&quot;385&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu0QHo7-RXBBS4YVN5Z9AaSJ_O1TV7yzcAEygERMkRImA45wZYtkgjHHpKks2ijFqvOlJHBLhERCAKYkT955RYewo42Ek_SynNMc2gCO8IP_3kUMlAz3jsI84dRUBsEQrY-ltY1XELtJ8/s1138/Bobby+%2526+The+Bombers+45.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1120&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1138&quot; height=&quot;394&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu0QHo7-RXBBS4YVN5Z9AaSJ_O1TV7yzcAEygERMkRImA45wZYtkgjHHpKks2ijFqvOlJHBLhERCAKYkT955RYewo42Ek_SynNMc2gCO8IP_3kUMlAz3jsI84dRUBsEQrY-ltY1XELtJ8/w400-h394/Bobby+%2526+The+Bombers+45.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;By the sound of this, it was most likely recorded at Fine Recording Studios given&amp;nbsp;it&#39;s lo-fi nature. These guys must&#39;ve been pretty popular at the time because most bands couldn&#39;t muster up enough dough to put out a quality package like this. As for the music???? Well, Bobby and Co. run through three covers and a cool moody instrumental original called &quot;Greenfields&quot;. The rest of them are pretty routine including a rendition of The Beatles&#39; &quot;You Can&#39;t Do That&quot;.

This band has a pretty complex history to go into too much detail here, but they started out as a seven piece called The Galaxies, broke up, regrouped as a five piece and called themselves &quot;Micheal&#39;s Mystics&quot; and recorded this way cool 45 at Dove Recording Studios. They later would add a horn section and record the original version of &quot;Pain&quot;, a song that gets a lot of attention from the Mod, Northern Soul, and Beach Music crowd, which incidentally was covered by two other groups featured on this blog, The Novas Nine and The Downbeats.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Fables - I&#39;ve Got The Will / Lonely Boy (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvXQZS5drEG6tK2Vsl3El6KLpRZemod39li0LStNHNjJZ_1XwAT3yk338rrDBOC5KqqfQlThwd0EXf39kl1zEReteL7v0UrTSsWUiXM9sNJX5Vodtd5cUmpWTWGLhPMzorTvkbIiRx2WE/s753/fables.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;753&quot; data-original-width=&quot;736&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvXQZS5drEG6tK2Vsl3El6KLpRZemod39li0LStNHNjJZ_1XwAT3yk338rrDBOC5KqqfQlThwd0EXf39kl1zEReteL7v0UrTSsWUiXM9sNJX5Vodtd5cUmpWTWGLhPMzorTvkbIiRx2WE/w390-h400/fables.jpg&quot; width=&quot;390&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Super cool moody 45 from Texas. This one is a classic with great fuzz guitar and cheezy Farfisa organ as well. One of my all time favorites!

It was sitting there, in a pile of obscure stuff, and then I plopped it on the turntable and man oh man, there it was, one of The Stones&#39; greatest cuts which would propel them to fame and fortune. It&#39;s quite fascinating when you juxtapose The Stones&#39; career against The Beatles&#39;, I mean, they both recorded this song, and although Lennon and McCartney wrote it, each version is a polar opposite of the other. The Beatles&#39; version is pretty wild, I guess, when compared to the other tracks on &quot;With The Beatles&quot; (or &quot;Meet The Beatles&quot; if you were in the U.S.), but this version is so full of raw intensity, The Fab Four&#39;s attempt pales alongside it. Perhaps it&#39;s why they (The Beatles) had Ringo sing it, because John and Paul couldn&#39;t do it justice the way The Stones did? Maybe, maybe not, but this is truly one of The Stones&#39; best.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Sam The Sham &amp;amp; The Pharaohs - Old MacDonald Had A Boogaloo Farm / I Never Had No One (1968)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH6notkKiTpOzGpR_SistJ9tSp5hZDn10I7smedvm29kjpD8dNPBGbjGCVFNmNdFiSPjHAVhreUO61wDWY2_Omci_F91F9ASOx2dCimh7l3gekyf9IN8zd98LIGUuJD4wCTkod-D583kc/s747/sam+the+sham.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;746&quot; data-original-width=&quot;747&quot; height=&quot;398&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH6notkKiTpOzGpR_SistJ9tSp5hZDn10I7smedvm29kjpD8dNPBGbjGCVFNmNdFiSPjHAVhreUO61wDWY2_Omci_F91F9ASOx2dCimh7l3gekyf9IN8zd98LIGUuJD4wCTkod-D583kc/w400-h398/sam+the+sham.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;You gotta love Sam The Sham.

This would be the last official &quot;Sam The Sham &amp;amp; The Pharaohs&quot; 45 on MGM. After this he went on to &quot;The Sam The Sham Revue&quot; and a solo LP or two and then pretty much disappeared.

The B side, which I have not included, sounds a bit like Peter, Paul, &amp;amp; Mary. Meh. I have a TON of folkie stuff like the B side, and perhaps in the future I&#39;ll write a post on that!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Congregation - I Need Your Love (1968)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_oueKbEWQDih3VmHsBDOwS7rDj-ZuaQyxVg5w6gWFbvtwOkv_PFXrQv_kLMnLgL9MpeS6hHoEuTm4TNATMEFL7oPEBhidNM0elMzzxEYWjLX_KlQQSg4TVXXRNtTGYTUaSM1IkP7D3Vg/s1116/congregation.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1116&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1109&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_oueKbEWQDih3VmHsBDOwS7rDj-ZuaQyxVg5w6gWFbvtwOkv_PFXrQv_kLMnLgL9MpeS6hHoEuTm4TNATMEFL7oPEBhidNM0elMzzxEYWjLX_KlQQSg4TVXXRNtTGYTUaSM1IkP7D3Vg/w396-h400/congregation.jpg&quot; width=&quot;396&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Probably a studio group from Nashville or thereabouts turning in a nice bubblegummy 45 which, in my opinion, is better than most that came out at the same time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Grass Roots - Where Were You When I Needed You / (These Are) Bad Times (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiwIYkzxvfjkht16b6AM-NN4eGeu-N5yCA3olXLV2e1MDyMd_GJSfxssKj5ODIHX9dYPkR104EwUXxun3a7e_Q2rSwsFn6pOj974REVf61FbBJjLWmfE6UVxmO10-HgJN-6lp89FvTzWA/s1119/grass+roots.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1104&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1119&quot; height=&quot;394&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiwIYkzxvfjkht16b6AM-NN4eGeu-N5yCA3olXLV2e1MDyMd_GJSfxssKj5ODIHX9dYPkR104EwUXxun3a7e_Q2rSwsFn6pOj974REVf61FbBJjLWmfE6UVxmO10-HgJN-6lp89FvTzWA/w400-h394/grass+roots.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;P.F.

I think these guys were trying to cash in on the &quot;American Graffiti&quot; craze which took hold of the US back in 1973/74. I remember this era very well as I was an AM radio listening teenager and some of the biggest hits were stuff like &quot;Rock And Roll Is Here To Stay&quot;, &quot;Rock Around The Clock&quot;, Crocodile Rock&quot;, and I guess this was an attempt at capturing that vibe. Unfortunately, Cory Robbins and his crew really do sound tone deaf on this rather lo-fi attempt at a 50&#39;s rock revival. Cool stuff though......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://app.box.com/s/hs7iou0570eg6mldlilzxxk3zv0qm0yu&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://theegarage.blogspot.com/feeds/9003467187872082575/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://theegarage.blogspot.com/2020/10/dans-garage-139.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3203456806956251753/posts/default/9003467187872082575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3203456806956251753/posts/default/9003467187872082575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://theegarage.blogspot.com/2020/10/dans-garage-139.html' title='Dan&#39;s Garage #139'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Yzm1zRnLwrWQui03Acg-whnWvu8pG97-x1HZ8Qi00s0mReq2gJZdnIDtPqjj5opVt9YiKQYrMxmndt3Ny0WXqpkry_6EnIxHmqeEu4jlT0LMaBo9_ILOvdPwf1MteY95fBG4Au51fb0/s72-w400-h400-c/139+front.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203456806956251753.post-2154742026667699087</id><published>2020-08-30T16:51:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2020-08-30T16:51:52.140-04:00</updated><title type='text'>In Dan&#39;s Garage...#138</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg949kzxy8Y0nwv6zO_BG3vQDYoKnq0dle_-m9LSQCLPphZ1y8EmQQJBIgB72P-kQ9pupeAjXvEBoge5AsIp-V9eMVB_xAbSmInmKs5pTgebfzTeTpJu33erqGr3ZlSruIYiP_PCukdRiI/s697/138+front.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;697&quot; data-original-width=&quot;697&quot; height=&quot;512&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg949kzxy8Y0nwv6zO_BG3vQDYoKnq0dle_-m9LSQCLPphZ1y8EmQQJBIgB72P-kQ9pupeAjXvEBoge5AsIp-V9eMVB_xAbSmInmKs5pTgebfzTeTpJu33erqGr3ZlSruIYiP_PCukdRiI/w512-h512/138+front.jpg&quot; width=&quot;512&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Greetings music lovers!!!!! Looky here, I got to work in another post in as many weeks and I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve done that in over four years. I figure if I&#39;m just going to goof off and play records, I may as well rip them, scan the labels and fire away with another one, and the theme of this one is literally &quot;goofing off listening to records&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I had/have another blog that I largely ignore (because I just don&#39;t have the time) called &quot;Dan&#39;s Leftovers. That&#39;s for the stuff that lies outside of the garage/psychedelic/surf orbit and includes pop, girl groups, novelty records, and just plain ol&#39; weird stuff. I have TONS of 45&#39;s like these, and I actually like quite a few of them, so you may see more of this kind of&amp;nbsp; junk from time to time. I&#39;ll buy anything these days if it&#39;s priced right. Hell, I recently bought 150 Italian 45&#39;s that all came with picture sleeves and they were all in real nice shape. No garage or psych mind you, but a lot of San Remo pop type records plus three spoken word records by the Pope. In other words &quot;oddballs&quot;. That&#39;s precisely what your getting here, a bunch of oddballs, girl groups, pop, and novelty records so enjoy this one and take all of this with a good sense of humor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tender Slim - Hey Joe! / Teenage Hayride (1959)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO1QZQMAopOgdDuVZQGxPr-QIQok1sKEcvZ3RghkTc0hhunIMc2vtOFUGzhQ1abe5L7tJTX6S6xweFgjZ3lPhzefsraK1DXEuFPRFp4KuA8BAxzrVrLvSECQh_5rVurXxccqyqp3tEDXQ/s1107/tender+slim.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1107&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1077&quot; height=&quot;512&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO1QZQMAopOgdDuVZQGxPr-QIQok1sKEcvZ3RghkTc0hhunIMc2vtOFUGzhQ1abe5L7tJTX6S6xweFgjZ3lPhzefsraK1DXEuFPRFp4KuA8BAxzrVrLvSECQh_5rVurXxccqyqp3tEDXQ/w498-h512/tender+slim.jpg&quot; width=&quot;498&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s a cool 45 by a guy named &quot;Tender Slim&quot; who from what I can gather was also known as &quot;Tender Joe Richardson&quot;, and &quot;Fender Guitar Slim&quot;. apparently he was the guitarist and bandleader for the Shirelles.

This &quot;novelty&quot; record came out in 1962 when views of women were quite different than they are in 2020. Personally I find none of this offensive, in fact this is 4+ minutes of beatnik style poetry that describes woman&#39;s power over men. Maybe I&#39;m wrong here. Maybe this is an attempt at showing how women are actually more powerful than men.(?) In any case, I find this record to be rather amusing and a real good microcosm of the times in 1962. P.S. I just realized that I did not add &quot;Sneaky Pete&quot; the A side to this 45 which is a great instro. I&#39;ll add it next time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Carran Bruce - When The Rains Came / I Looked Away (196?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1AAyOkjS1y3V0n-W3Ewd1OgcurmNG0QjLbu8GDZXMUa_RJ1iT8va5pFDe8fIOcSCB6szlblDo2P8fioiz6wSxrlIL0MXjA5ENZJn6oSZdnCieU443KayK17RbDqOKjoEBljznTSZIgQM/s520/carran+bruce.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;520&quot; data-original-width=&quot;519&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1AAyOkjS1y3V0n-W3Ewd1OgcurmNG0QjLbu8GDZXMUa_RJ1iT8va5pFDe8fIOcSCB6szlblDo2P8fioiz6wSxrlIL0MXjA5ENZJn6oSZdnCieU443KayK17RbDqOKjoEBljznTSZIgQM/s0/carran+bruce.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;This one is tough to get ant info on.

Now seriously, who&#39;s record are you gonna buy? Johnny Ray&#39;s or Henry Thome&#39;s??? Most people bought Johnny Ray&#39;s but frankly, I&#39;ve listened to both and think Henry&#39;s is the superior cut. The flip is also great.

I read about this one a while back but have had trouble recalling the website where I read it (BOOKMARKS DAN!!!!) but I will paraphrase here. Ronnie Wallis&#39; mother was somehow connected to the music business and ended up in Australia for something, I cannot recall, BUT, she brought her daughter with her, Ronnie, and got The Rajahs, who were a very popular group at the time to back Ronnie up on a few songs and these are at least two of them. The Rajahs basically did tributes to the Beatles, backed Johnny O&#39;Keefe, a very popular Australian singer, and worked in the studio as well, as evidenced by this rather cool 45 by Ronnie Wallis. Ronnie never hit the big time but at least she left us with this little boppin&#39; gem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Kelly Garrett - Save Me From Myself / The Boy On The Drums (1965)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_HRNhdHN-3fIvFiAHDpNLPvdCxWZnWziucvQVRlykHM5EEq-EC4qmblCPNHbUmW__R6G7G0vzRA2YwTTjOU-iO52NUyUhtd0olb6C2iPpp-SKCu_Lb87dtkLv1ihkJ634kj_DPnxPFh0/s1100/kelly+garrett.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1100&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1087&quot; height=&quot;512&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_HRNhdHN-3fIvFiAHDpNLPvdCxWZnWziucvQVRlykHM5EEq-EC4qmblCPNHbUmW__R6G7G0vzRA2YwTTjOU-iO52NUyUhtd0olb6C2iPpp-SKCu_Lb87dtkLv1ihkJ634kj_DPnxPFh0/w506-h512/kelly+garrett.jpg&quot; width=&quot;506&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s a real nice 45 from Kelly Garret who made appearances on shows like &quot;Shivaree&quot;, Shindig&quot;, &quot;American Bandstand&quot;, etc. but never really hit the big time.

I&#39;m not sure if &quot;Misty&#39; is a band or solo artist but it really doesn&#39;t make a difference. The first time I ever heard this was truly a WTF moment. The band is nothing terribly exciting, it&#39;s when &quot;Misty&quot; starts singing. That&#39;s when things get, well....exciting? Misty&#39;s voice is, to be kind, &quot;unique&quot;. I&#39;m not sure if she&#39;s an 11 year old, or an adult trying to sound different, but rest assured, the results are flabbergasting. The A side is a cover of&amp;nbsp; Ashton, Gardner, &amp;amp; Dyke&#39;s &quot;Resurrection Shuffle&quot;, another song of which I was totally unfamiliar with, until I heard this. The B side is, well...if Misty is 11 years old, rather disturbing to say the least. After hearing this I tried doing some research on this record, and outside of a couple of other bloggers who pretty much hold the same opinion as mine, I came to a dead end. I have some other 45&#39;s that are from Ohio which have similar labels, so that might be a good guess as to where they&#39;re from, but I really can&#39;t say for sure.

Well....Kohoutek turned out to be a big dud, but not before these guys decided to cash in on the hype with a re-make of Sheb Wooley&#39;s classic &quot;Purple People Eater&quot; done in true early seventies &quot;rock&quot; style!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Dust - The Pledge / Bertha (1969)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDYuleVCH9NwSxxcu72b_hx4t9AIoieDpswnySWJxtpCFdGmHJ29NGeDd2Z166TfMp4AtaomQlUj77WShVD3AriDNrIUNk1bRpDUwqpflJePYLOGlrbYeF8TLOK4lmfx8RbYhSYFQZwMU/s1138/dust2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1138&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1108&quot; height=&quot;512&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDYuleVCH9NwSxxcu72b_hx4t9AIoieDpswnySWJxtpCFdGmHJ29NGeDd2Z166TfMp4AtaomQlUj77WShVD3AriDNrIUNk1bRpDUwqpflJePYLOGlrbYeF8TLOK4lmfx8RbYhSYFQZwMU/w498-h512/dust2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;498&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m going to end this post with a 45 that&#39;s not actually a &quot;45&quot;. &quot;Dust&quot;, I believe, were from the Detroit area, or perhaps western Ohio, I&#39;ve seen different info, but these are definitely not the guys who had a couple of LP&#39;s on Kama Sutra and featured Richie Wise and Kenny Aaronson. This group had two 45&#39;s, this being their second and I must say, it&#39;s another kook fest. Don&#39;t get me wrong here...I&#39;m all for the Pledge Of Allegiance, and I consider myself a pretty patriotic guy, but the &quot;lead vocalist&quot; goes way over above and beyond mere patriotism, no, the lead vocalist here explains (in 6:55 excruciating minutes) what &quot;The Pledge&quot; means to him, all this done over a backdrop of &quot;He Ain&#39;t Heavy, He&#39;s My Brother&quot;. The flip is a comedy routine done over Them&#39;s &quot;Gloria&quot; so you sort of get a two-fer of nuttiness on this 7 incher. So, why is this not really a &quot;45&quot;???? Because in order to fit the lead singer&#39;s pledge soliloquy on the A side, they had to slow things down to 33⅓ in order to fit every word. Pretty clever huh?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;

Holy crap, as I write this I&#39;m trying to wade through a bunch of changes that the &quot;blogger app&quot; has gone through and being a very old school guy, am having a bit of difficulty with it. But I&#39;m sure after muddling through this for an hour or so, I&#39;ll get the hang of it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;HEY!!! I haven&#39;t communicated with you for a while and I&#39;m feeling somewhat guilty about that, but as you all know, we only have so much time on our hands to play around with this shit, and time is a precious commodity these days (as always) but I managed to get a couple of hours of solitude to spin some 45&#39;s, scan some labels, and now I&#39;m here writing!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Thanks to all the friends and followers who&#39;ve stuck around, I appreciate your continued interest in this humble blog of mine which will keep going on for the foreseeable future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I managed to somewhat organize my 45&#39;s this summer into &quot;posted&quot; 45&#39;s and &quot;not posted&quot; 45&#39;s. That took several days and you&#39;ll all be glad to hear that there&#39;s TONS that &lt;i&gt;haven&#39;t &lt;/i&gt;been posted yet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I did take a hiatus from buying stuff due to the covids and the financial uncertainty that it caused. I&#39;m happy to report that all is well here and my lovely wife Red and I are doing fine, as well as the rest of my family and my mother who will be turning 90 on September 2. I visit with her at least twice a week, and outside of the usual creakyness a 90 year old experiences, she&#39;s in excellent health and she&#39;s sharp as a tack. But I am back to procuring cool 45&#39;s and have gotten a few gems in the last few weeks. Please stay tuned!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;On a more somber note, my best pal and band mate Jerry Flanagan passed away on June 23rd from cancer which was diagnosed in April. He was experiencing some discomfort in his chest around Christmastime and by the time he got a proper diagnosis, it was too late. I played in a band with this guy for the better part of 37 years and I will miss him dearly. We were still playing together as of December 2019 and our last &quot;gig&quot; was a Christmas party we played here at my house back in mid December. It was one of our better performances but never in my life did I think it would be our last. So I dedicate this post to his memory.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;R.I.P.

Extremely lo-fi this record is one my coolest acquisitions of the last two years or so.

Their &quot;schtick&quot; was wearing multi colored or all white suits and having their hair dyed bleach blond.

This is their first 45 on IRC, a local Chicago label, and its great folk rock with some wailing harmonica and twangy guitars.

Perhaps, but in any case the B side which I&#39;m featuring first is the standout track. It starts off really cool with some nice fuzz guitar and some pounding drums, but then settles into somewhat of a pop tune with these &quot;do-do-wah&quot; backing vocals as well as a few shifts in the rhythm. Very cool overall and a nice find. The A side is a pretty typical garage band ballad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Culver Street Playground - East River Lovers / Feedback (1968)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd9_k_RfQrzGOmmNiEw6Kn9nzVQK0hplIwhxgWoBoHpt-wq1iITdoZ1fkhh7ImMVsODYomhEWrm5URMp6Ei-kKvEZEKQyHeUji_Mcrkx_2of_Rd6GPYPZSa1i3Pzo9VltiP1jOww3tz_U/s1107/clvr+st+plygrnd.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1107&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1088&quot; height=&quot;512&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd9_k_RfQrzGOmmNiEw6Kn9nzVQK0hplIwhxgWoBoHpt-wq1iITdoZ1fkhh7ImMVsODYomhEWrm5URMp6Ei-kKvEZEKQyHeUji_Mcrkx_2of_Rd6GPYPZSa1i3Pzo9VltiP1jOww3tz_U/w502-h512/clvr+st+plygrnd.jpg&quot; width=&quot;502&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh man oh man, THIS is one of my all time faves!!!!!

Somehow these two songs always were standouts with me and my old band The Projectiles even covered &quot;Feedback&quot; a way cool bit of psychedelia if I do say so myself and &quot;East River Lovers&quot; is perhaps one of the best &quot;moody&quot; garage band ballads I&#39;ve ever heard, in my humble opinion. From what I gather this band was from New York City and they did have another 45 which I featured on IDG #40.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Association - Everything That Touches You / We Love Us (1968)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfvsJy7yfvig_zYezRm3fYaKvjiQ6OehOA8hhyphenhyphenyKwyimrwFhnyhHMjR-DJ4Da-VR0gR9XbWYcVCFs9BJcskDTIyNEOkzybVU9yc1Vx4wtkucolD_t6Sfzavcajf2WwdhxP8-6ri1JKVKA/s600/asoociation2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;600&quot; data-original-width=&quot;600&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfvsJy7yfvig_zYezRm3fYaKvjiQ6OehOA8hhyphenhyphenyKwyimrwFhnyhHMjR-DJ4Da-VR0gR9XbWYcVCFs9BJcskDTIyNEOkzybVU9yc1Vx4wtkucolD_t6Sfzavcajf2WwdhxP8-6ri1JKVKA/w480-h480/asoociation2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;I don&#39;t normally post stuff like this, well..... yeah, I actually post a LOT of stuff like this, but not by big time bands like The Association who had a bunch of hits in the mid sixties, and they had so many I&#39;m not going to reference all of&amp;nbsp; them here. Turn on oldies radio and you will hear them eventually without waiting too long. This one did pretty well hitting #10 on the Billboard in 1968, but it never stuck in my brain like the other ones they had (you know what I&#39;m talking about). I plucked this 45 out of a stack that was lying around (as many around here at Dan&#39;s Garage Central do) and decided to give it a spin. I recall hearing this song in the past but never realized how good it was. When it comes to sunshiny pop type songs, it really doesn&#39;t get any better than this. Nice harmonies and the arrangement isn&#39;t way over the top. Sit back, close your eyes, and marinate in some top notch pop music goodness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Joe Brown - A Little Help From My Friends / Won&#39;tcha Show Me Around (1967)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf05yrXN5OusW1wlbOkIAvSNDR4BwO62HfsfWC3Yoj1pYvvzFC0WFhGWWZn95wQbUbJSxDs9pK_FedVE3hZbO2r8s0Up4ty7vNVqYzUyiIo4QOBAS9HaBo6RcTds-k6zNkQlDBRpK9Zj4/s1091/joe+brown.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1091&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1084&quot; height=&quot;512&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf05yrXN5OusW1wlbOkIAvSNDR4BwO62HfsfWC3Yoj1pYvvzFC0WFhGWWZn95wQbUbJSxDs9pK_FedVE3hZbO2r8s0Up4ty7vNVqYzUyiIo4QOBAS9HaBo6RcTds-k6zNkQlDBRpK9Zj4/w508-h512/joe+brown.jpg&quot; width=&quot;508&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;I got this one in a &quot;lot&quot; of what some people on Ebay call &quot;weird&quot; 45&#39;s so I took a chance and ended up with about a half dozen very cool records including this one here. Joe Brown is a very famous, well&lt;i&gt; pretty famous &lt;/i&gt;singer and guitarist that influenced quite a few young British lads back in the early sixties. Guys like Hank Marvin and The Beatles come to mind as Brian Epstein worked out a deal where The Beatles could warm up for Joe so&#39;s they could be exposed to a wider audience. In any case, The Beatles fame eclipsed Joe&#39;s but he did record this gem in 1967 not long after Sgt. Pepper&#39;s was released, and I must say, Joe did an excellent job of it. &quot;With A Little Help From My Friends&quot; is one of my all time favorite songs and Joe Brown does true justice to this tune. I like this way better than Joe Cocker&#39;s cover hands down. Oh, by the way...the flip&#39;s pretty good as well!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Future - Shape Of Things To Come / 52% (1968)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDV3V5da0yEKlTx9dUkJFcUYaU28La_ZuP6JSrutKoxLW5-98AsS9IWC2Y3FjOH7gHOepqDbvD4lJIHVCYkcR1m_rplkUbmcKSMBPlRzcSK8WqRExyJ9j2U7KndpVaUm0ne_WYN5xZmZo/s1125/future.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1125&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1103&quot; height=&quot;512&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDV3V5da0yEKlTx9dUkJFcUYaU28La_ZuP6JSrutKoxLW5-98AsS9IWC2Y3FjOH7gHOepqDbvD4lJIHVCYkcR1m_rplkUbmcKSMBPlRzcSK8WqRExyJ9j2U7KndpVaUm0ne_WYN5xZmZo/w501-h512/future.jpg&quot; width=&quot;501&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;So here we have a another unknown group that I would assume was out of L.A or San Francisco or some other west coast town, doing a cover of &quot;Max Frost &amp;amp; The Trooper&#39;s&quot; &quot;Shape Of Things To Come&quot;.

I think this version and the flip are pretty good, and this doesn&#39;t sound like typical early seventies &quot;progressive&quot; rock.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Wet Paint - Glass Road / Give You Everything I&#39;ve Got (1970)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBZjmC3rHTvdYMfH4NtedD972RUEXA86mqH3EXYEs0o-Aj6D9Xf3UFso2r4JAUf_gv9qXhEYdfLYM1bSxOecLLsqrDB1mSV64zxyf_fGQ6qhMbzYFinqXG9wHH5E7PmWp-yIzpRBS0sXw/s1133/wet+paint.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1133&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1104&quot; height=&quot;512&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBZjmC3rHTvdYMfH4NtedD972RUEXA86mqH3EXYEs0o-Aj6D9Xf3UFso2r4JAUf_gv9qXhEYdfLYM1bSxOecLLsqrDB1mSV64zxyf_fGQ6qhMbzYFinqXG9wHH5E7PmWp-yIzpRBS0sXw/w499-h512/wet+paint.jpg&quot; width=&quot;499&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here&#39;s a cool 45 by a group from New England, but since I really couldn&#39;t find much info them, I can&#39;t pinpoint exactly where they&#39;re from since Methuen is just over the border from New Hampshire, and just north of Lowell, MA and perhaps an hour&#39;s drive from Boston. I love records like this because here it is, 1970, and these guys sound like they just stepped out of the garage (or basement) with a rather crude sound for that era. Both sides are great and to make up for any perceived ineptitude, they released this in stereo!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Wool - The Witch /Listen To The Sound (1970)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijqqZ6eMggZPYOe_Lo1LDhehGJjEW3n1TaF8dsezqZk72Pngs0ZNjFcJLXBGYD7SEskEaXS7Pi8e8vW_teiVBEjEAGkYdTslH2n4cnJfLdnrbk30zpZgDgzi2vU-YitMvCWIFr1xul6CY/s1120/wooool.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1120&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1086&quot; height=&quot;512&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijqqZ6eMggZPYOe_Lo1LDhehGJjEW3n1TaF8dsezqZk72Pngs0ZNjFcJLXBGYD7SEskEaXS7Pi8e8vW_teiVBEjEAGkYdTslH2n4cnJfLdnrbk30zpZgDgzi2vU-YitMvCWIFr1xul6CY/w497-h512/wooool.jpg&quot; width=&quot;497&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Wool was led by guitarist Ed Wool who was from Watertown, NY, about 3 hours northeast of Dan&#39;s Garage Central. He recorded as Ed Wool &amp;amp; The Nomads, The Sure Cure, The Pineapple Heard, and eventually Wool. They had an LP and a couple 45&#39;s on ABC and then landed a deal with Columbia which produced two 45&#39;s before the label dropped them. One was a cover of Elton John&#39;s &quot;Take Me To The Pilot&quot; and the other is this one, a cover of The Rattles&#39; &quot;The Witch&quot; a good choice, but I think these guys could have shown a little more intensity in their execution.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://app.box.com/s/0889ollmfvr1r07769upuqbu4eg0akrk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://theegarage.blogspot.com/feeds/7857237982671576681/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://theegarage.blogspot.com/2020/08/in-dans-garage137.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3203456806956251753/posts/default/7857237982671576681'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3203456806956251753/posts/default/7857237982671576681'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://theegarage.blogspot.com/2020/08/in-dans-garage137.html' title='In Dan&#39;s Garage...#137'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4OZT9o6IPYkbf0_lQc6RTu9hgktsOfQsj6NiZ85ytLPea8LRW8c_5LJ3e3rYkqdhGHbjazVSoGBPz9xH0DrXrEYkvpE04K1V7iSw4ffLmfeMgTgBjixPPF8Oaw2sLMVy_3L7GeX39Q88/s72-w512-h512-c/137+front.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203456806956251753.post-7005814977007113850</id><published>2020-04-18T11:06:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2020-04-19T09:24:47.083-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dan&#39;s Garage #136</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  8. Greetings music lovers!!!! I hope all are doing well out there during this rather messed up episode in human history. I myself am doing as well as I possibly can although we&#39;ve taken a bit of a financial hit because of this &quot;situation&quot;, but we&#39;ll keep posting here as long as we possibly can! Due to previously unforeseen circumstances, I&#39;ve had to put a moratorium on buying records but I can assure you that I&#39;ve got scads of way cool 45&#39;s not entered in this blog yet so I&#39;ll be busy for a while.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  9. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  10. We here at Dan&#39;s Garage Central are trying to stay sane while we suffer the effects of this pandemic AND the resulting fallout. Ironically, this actually leaves me with &lt;i&gt;more&lt;/i&gt; time to spin records and write this blog, I mean, it&#39;s still too early to do any real outdoor work around here, and because we&#39;re &quot;tightening our belt&quot; so to speak, major household upgrades are on hold (for the short term I assure you). We&#39;re well stocked with food and stuff so we don&#39;t have a lot of shopping to do, but what the hell, try finding a packet of yeast around here! I had to go to a local bulk food store and buy two pounds of the shit just to bake a couple of loaves of bread! I&#39;ll be experimenting in the kitchen every weekend for the next two years!!!!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  11. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  12. Oh right....the blog....&lt;/div&gt;
  13. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  14. As I said,&amp;nbsp; I actually have a&lt;i&gt; bit&lt;/i&gt; more time on my hands so I&#39;ll take advantage for now. I&#39;m still poring through boxes of records trying to figure out what hasn&#39;t been posted yet and by my calculations, there&#39;s a LOT!. So we&#39;ll continue this time around with a rather &quot;eclectic&quot; handful of 45&#39;s that I&#39;m sure will please all of you out there.&lt;/div&gt;
  15. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  16. Many thanks to our friends and followers of this blog for the very kind comments. Keep them coming and please share this blog wherever you can!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  20. &lt;i&gt;There&#39;s a few friends and followers out there who are having trouble finding a download link through Box. I tried accessing it with my Iphone and came up with a blank page which seems to be the trouble some are having. I was able though, to copy the url from the link, paste it into a browser and voila! The page with the link came up. I&#39;m not familiar with Macs because it uses a one button mouse, but I&#39;m guessing the operation is similar to the Iphone. I like to use Box because 1. It&#39;s free and 2. the links don&#39;t expire. I hope this helps. Thanks, Dan.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  28. You know I must confess, I really HATED bands with horns. Back in &quot;the day&quot;, we garage punk enthusiasts would poo-pooh this 45 as total bullshit, and I&#39;m sure some of the so-called &quot;garage elitists&quot; today will do the same.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  29. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  30. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;When I was a young lad I really hated clams. I also hated bourbon whiskey and dry red wine and a host of other things that today, I find quite tasty like Gorgonzola cheese and raw oysters.&amp;nbsp; As I grew older,&amp;nbsp; I started to &quot;acquire&quot; the taste for those things as well as the taste for records like this one.&lt;/div&gt;
  31. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  32. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Bob Kuban was a drummer from St. Louis, MO and formed his band in 1965 as simply &quot;The Bob Kuban Band&quot;. He later changed the name of the group to &quot;Bob Kuban &amp;amp; The In-Men&quot; and had a sizable hit in 1966 with &quot;The Cheater&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  33. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  34. One cannot deny the raw intensity of this track and sheer enthusiasm that goes along with it. As I mentioned previously, I have acquired a taste for a lot of music that does not fall into the &quot;garage-punk orthodoxy&quot; and this is a good example. Dig it....&lt;/div&gt;

  42. The Shadows were perhaps the most influential band in the UK in the post &quot;skiffle group&quot; era. This would be &quot;pre-Beatles&quot; I might add, but even The Beatles were tremendously influenced by them and their classic cut &quot;Cry For A Shadow&quot; is a good example. I was lucky to nab this one at a bargain price a few years back and I think it&#39;s one of their best.&lt;br /&gt;

  47. There were a few &quot;Vice-Roys&quot; floating about in the early to mid sixties. One of them was from the Pacific-Northwest but I&#39;m pretty sure these guys were not them as the USA label was out of Chicago,IL and this group was most likely from that area.&lt;br /&gt;
  48. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; This is a rather interesting 45. I&#39;m not sure who the group was, but they had a very interesting take on the &quot;Liverpool&quot; thing as evidenced by this two sider. &quot;Liverpool&quot; starts with a &quot;I Want To Hold Your Hand&quot; intro but immediately goes into an extremely cool instrumental with a ska beat! The &#39;B&#39; side is pretty cool as well.&lt;br /&gt;

  53. I love The Astronauts. They had about a gazillion 45&#39;s &amp;amp; LP&#39;s on RCA Victor, and made a few appearances in a couple of &#39;B&#39; movies that were teen/surf related. This 45 was released while they were &quot;transitioning&quot; from a pure surf band to a &quot;beat&quot; group. The&#39;A&#39; side is a great pop effort and the &#39;B&#39; side is a good take on the Buddy Holly classic.&lt;br /&gt;

  58. The Bad Seeds (on Columbia records) were reportedly from Kentucky and had nothing to do with the legends from Texas. That being said, this is an excellent two sided folk rocker that is well produced as many of&amp;nbsp; Columbia records were. I just wish I knew more about this group....&lt;br /&gt;

  63. Originally known as The Merseybeats, guitarist/vocalists Tony Crane and Bill Kinsley broke off of the group and formed a duo and simply called themselves &quot;The Merseys&quot;. Obviously they changed their style as well, moving into a pop direction with big production. They made a few appearances on the German &quot;Beat Club&quot; program and had a minor hit with this cover of The McCoys&#39; &quot;Sorrow&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

  68. This bunch was from Trenton, NJ and had two other 45&#39;s both very good including the moody garage/punk classic &quot;I Believed You&quot; which was featured on a volume of &quot;Teenage Shutdown&quot;. This two sider is really good as well with some nice fuzz guitars courtesy of lead guitarist Eugene Patricella.&lt;br /&gt;

  73. Willie &amp;amp; The Walkers were a very popular group out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and were together from about 1965 to 1972. The group was led by Bill &quot;Willie&quot; MacCalder who played keyboards and sang lead vocals. They had a nice career opening for acts like Dino, Desi, &amp;amp; Billy, The Guess Who, The Box Tops and others. The &#39;A&#39; side of this is a cover of &quot;(Alone) In My Room&quot; which was originally done by Verdelle Smith, a somewhat obscure R&amp;amp;B singer, and later done by The Walker Brothers. This version obliterates both of them. With a sinister, haunting organ intro, the song tells a typical story of a love that has died and how the singer (Willie) is coping with it. This is real good stuff and the whole thing is genius in my very humble opinion. In late 1966 these guys took a long trek down to Norman Petty&#39;s studio in Clovis, NM to record this 45 and the results are A-1. This 45 was also released about a year later in the U.S. on United Artists.&lt;br /&gt;

  78. The Rovin&#39; Kind were an outfit from Chicago, IL that had about a half dozen 45&#39;s on several different labels including Smash, Roulette, and a couple on Dunwich as shown here. This one takes a somewhat inept stab at The Who&#39;s classic, not that the entire band struggles with it, but the bass player seems to have a hard time replicating John Entwhitsle&#39;s iconic solo. The flip is a decent cover of The Beatles&#39; &quot;Girl&quot;. The Rovin&#39; Kind would eventually evolve into The Illinois Speed Press which had two 45&#39;s on Columbia (one featured in IDG #74) as well as an LP. Band member Paul Cotton went on to replace Jim Messina in Poco in 1970.&lt;br /&gt;

  83. This song here is really no &quot;great shakes&quot; and probably one of The Yardbirds&#39; throwaway tracks (although I could be completely wrong about that) that was featured on this groovy EP presented by &quot;Great Shakes&quot; which was kinda like Nestle&#39;s Quick, but as you continued shaking it, it got really thick and turned plain ol&#39; milk into a frothy milkshake. Here&#39;s some pics of the cover...&lt;br /&gt;

  89. &amp;nbsp;I remember my oldest brother being wild about this stuff and I also remember the plastic &quot;shaker&quot; that came with it. Great Shakes was promoted in radio ads by The Blues Magoos, The Who, and a few other cool bands of the era. Sadly, Great Shakes disappeared from the shelves never to be seen again.&lt;br /&gt;

  94. The Do&#39;s And The Don&#39;ts are from Cedar Rapids, Iowa and had about seven 45&#39;s released in the mid 60&#39;s and possibly into the 70&#39;s. Although I can confirm this 45 was released in July of 1966, they had six on the local &quot;Zorch&quot; label that I can&#39;t be certain of. This has a nice &quot;teen&quot; vibe to it, nothing crazy, just very nice mid-sixties pop. These guys are still playing oldies in the Cedar Rapids area.&lt;br /&gt;

  99. Real good psych-pop effort by Jan &amp;amp; Dean here, their only record on Columbia and is actually just Dean Torrence solo as Jan Berry was recovering from his near fatal car accident. This is the original version written by Gary Zekley and apparently he didn&#39;t like the Jan &amp;amp; Dean treatment so he shopped it off to Canterbury Records who got some session musicians to record it and it became somewhat of a bubblegum hit in 1967.&lt;br /&gt;

  104. I really had a hard time deciding whether to post this 45. Although I like it, it doesn&#39;t quite fit well with the general theme of this blog, but it&#39;s not the first time I&#39;ve gone astray so-to-speak so I figured what the hell. John &quot;Bucky&quot; Wilkin was most famously known as &quot;Ronny&quot; of&amp;nbsp; Ronny &amp;amp; The Daytonas who we all know had a big hit in 1964 with &quot;G.T.O.&quot;. This 45 on the other hand is a studio concoction and&amp;nbsp; a sort of protest song as well with it&#39;s Vietnam War theme and seems to be co-written by Kris Kristofferson. The flip, on the other hand, is a very nice version of &quot;I Wanna Be Free&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

  109. I&#39;m having a hard time finding ANY concrete info on this act, although a blog from Hungary did post this and offered up a bit, although the translating through Google is rough. It seems these guys were from Houston, TX and offered up this sole 45 on 123 Records in 1970. The &#39;A&#39; side is nice bonehead cruncher heavy psych with lots of organ and the &#39;B&#39; side is more like late sixties British psych/pop. Very nice. It also seems that keyboard legend John &quot;Rabbit&quot; Bundrick was in this band as he was also in a group called &quot;Blackwell&quot; that also worked with Jones Sound Productions.&lt;br /&gt;

  130. Greetings music lovers! Well, it&#39;s been two weeks since I last posted and that was possible due to a stomach bug that was being peddled around by my grand kids, and it put me out of commission for a couple of days, now I got a regular run-of-the-mill cold bug that hit me hard last Thursday, and is taking a few days to exit my system. Have no fear, I don&#39;t think I have the corona virus that&#39;s sweeping the globe and making people here in these parts totally CRAZED!!!! I mean, what the hell??? The world is NOT coming to an end. Here at Dan&#39;s Garage Central, we&#39;re trying to stay calm, go about our business as normally as humanly possible and whether whatever &quot;storm&quot; hits us. Just wash your hands, keep your distance, and if you&#39;re sick, stay home and please I will not read lectures from anyone telling me I&#39;m going to die and what an irresponsible asshole I am for not &quot;taking this epidemic seriously&quot;.&amp;nbsp; I get that it&#39;s bad and very contagious which is why I&#39;ve refrained from hugging and kissing people, and general touchy feely stuff. I am staying home till I get better, and then will go back out in the world to face whatever I have to with my job duties which is a courier for the freaking University Of Rochester which means I have to handle all sorts of nice germy packages and envelopes with God knows how much disgusting crap on them, and oh yeah, I also spend a significant amount of time in the UofR Medical Center as well. How&#39;s that for a job???? By the way, I&#39;m considered &quot;essential personnel&quot; so we NEVER shut our doors. Whew, I&#39;m glad I got THAT off my sore chest.&lt;/div&gt;
  131. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  132. Records??? What about the records Dan????? Hmmmm????&lt;/div&gt;
  133. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  134. Yeah, we got &#39;em in spades and like my workplace, we never really shut the doors around here. New stuff pours in regularly and some of them are featured here, and a few I&#39;ve had for a while. I just got a big lot of Italian records for dirt cheap and have been trying to sift through them day by day. Being an American of Italian descent and knowing the language quite well, I figured I could enjoy this stuff and actually know what the hell their singing. Most of it is slick pop stuff, but there are a few interesting re-makes of American songs like The Turtles&#39; &quot;Elanor&quot; and &quot;1-2-3 Red Light&quot;. Perhaps after I&#39;ve gotten through a few of them I&#39;ll post them up in a special &quot;Italian Edition&quot;. Before we get to the 45&#39;s please read closely. I&#39;ve gotten some very nice comments from all of you and thank you profusely for them, but a lot of the comments I&#39;ve been getting are in regards to old dead links and why they don&#39;t work, AND problems with opening them. &lt;b&gt;ALL RE-UPS FROM #1 TO #131 ARE IN THE MARCH 2019 SECTION OF &lt;u&gt;THE BLOG ARCHIVE&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;WHICH IS AT THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE PAGE AS YOU SCROLL DOWN. THERE ARE TWO LINKS. PART ONE AND PART TWO. THEY ARE ALL THERE (FROM #1 TO#131) AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE ARE ALL WORKING. #&#39;s 132 TO #135 ARE CURRENTLY UP TO DATE. WHEN YOU GET TO THE &lt;a href=&quot;http://box.net/&quot;&gt;BOX.NET&lt;/a&gt; PAGE, CLICK ON THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON ON THE PAGE AND A .RAR FILE WILL DOWNLOAD TO YOUR DEVICE OR DESKTOP OR LAPTOP. ONCE IT&#39;S DOWNLOADED, UNPACK IT IT WITH &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm&quot;&gt;WINRAR&lt;/a&gt; OR &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.7-zip.org/&quot;&gt;7ZIP&lt;/a&gt;. IT WILL NOT OPEN IN THE BOX.NET PAGE. &lt;/b&gt;I apologize for that &quot;tone&quot; and the bold caps, but I consolidated all those links to two pages for everyone&#39;s convenience including mine.&lt;/div&gt;
  135. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  136. As I&#39;ve said, some of these 45&#39;s are fairly new acquisitions, and some I&#39;ve had for a while, all of them I like, and the styles are all wildly different,&amp;nbsp; so without further adieu...&lt;/div&gt;

  145. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  146. I&#39;m not exactly sure what to make of The Sunrays. If anyone&#39;s ever seen the Beach Boys biopic that&#39;s sometimes seen on VH1 Classic (is that even a station anymore???), you&#39;d think they were put together by Murray Wilson, famous dad of Brian, Carl, and Dennis as some kind of retribution for The Beach Boys firing dear ol&#39; dad as a manager. On the other hand, they were previously known as The Renegades and were from Pacific Pallisades, CA, and they did work as a band before ol&#39; Murray got a hold of them so their history gets a little murky. In any case, they definitely were a surf/vocal group with emphasis on the vocals. Most of their stuff is really lightweight surf/pop, but this one here is actually pretty good IMHO.&lt;/div&gt;

  153. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  154. The Rivieras are perhaps one of the greatest &quot;frat rock&quot; groups in the history of the planet based simply on their version of&amp;nbsp; Joe Jones&#39; &quot;California Sun&quot;, which they sped up to warp drive and filled dance floors across the nation with it. This here is their last 45 and is kinda weird because it&#39;s not really the Rivieras. According to organist Otto Suss, this was not the Rivieras, but some other band from the area that was used, I guess, to fill in this 45. I know that sounds whack but in that era, who the hell knows what went on???? Another weird thing is that this song was also released by a band called &quot;Dalek: The Blacktsones&quot; and one can hear that version on &quot;Highs In The Mid 60&#39;s Vol.4 CHICAGO&quot;. Although Dalek&#39;s version is the superior one, this may have been some kind of demo for that song. Just speculating.........&lt;/div&gt;
  155. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  156. Oh, by the way.. the &quot;B&quot; side I&#39;m pretty sure is the REAL RIVIERAS!!!!!&lt;/div&gt;

  164. I usually don&#39;t go for these &quot;cutesy&quot; girl group songs, but this one was so annoying that I actually grew to like it.(???) Based on the old familiar tune &quot;Shortnin&#39; Bread&quot;, these gals whoop it up with a tale about a typical boyfriend who wont commit.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  171. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  172. The Fourmost were a group out of Liverpool and , I guess, were good buddies with The Beatles because they recorded two Lennon/McCartney songs, &quot;I&#39;m In Love&quot;, and &quot;Hello Little Girl&quot;, both of which were decent hits for them. This 45 is probably NOT one of their better efforts. What we have here is a pretty good Merseybeat rendition of two songs the &#39;A&#39; side being a Merseybeat&amp;nbsp; interpretation of Elvis&#39; &quot;Girls,Girls,Girls&quot; and the &#39;B&#39; side a cover of&amp;nbsp; Frankie Lymon An The Teenagers&#39;, &quot;Why Do Fools Fall In Love&quot;. Both songs are steeped in &quot;Merseybeat&quot; mojo and unfortunately, by the time this record came out, fans in the U.K. and the U.S. were going on to bigger and better things.&lt;br /&gt;

  177. I usually don&#39;t serve up stuff like this on the blog. I have the first two Honeycombs 45&#39;s which are rather well known, but this one is somewhat of a rarity in that no one&#39;s ever really heard it. When I say &quot;no one&quot; I mean it wasn&#39;t a significant hit or had a lot of air-play. This is perhaps one of their best 45&#39;s and has that Joe Meek &quot;goodness&quot; plastered all over it! Bonus...you get a Honey Lantree vocal on the &#39;B&#39; side!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;

  182. Hey!!! Here&#39;s another British Invasion 45 that managed to get released on a U.S. label, Swan Records to be specific, also the label which released The Beatles&#39; &quot;She Loves You&quot;, one of their biggest hits. The McKinleys were apparently twin sisters and by the sound of this recording , were backed up by some of Britain&#39;s best studio musicians including Jimmy Page on guitar. I may be wrong about that, but it sure sounds like his work on this fine two sider.&lt;br /&gt;

  194. O.K. I goofed. This should have been towards the end of this post, but, hey, everyone makes a mistake once and a while right???? From 1970 this song has a lot of kooky stream of consciousness lyrics going on which are pretty psychedelic man. Can you dig this??????? Far out man!!!!&lt;br /&gt;

  199. From Baytown, TX near Galveston, The Coastliners were a rather popular act in that area on the Gulf Cost of Texas. They seemed like a very diverse band in that the &#39;A&#39; side of this is really influenced by the Beach Boys and surf, but the &#39;B&#39; side is true garage/punk with some great reverb drenched guitar. &#39;B&#39; side sounds like a remake The Turtles&#39; &quot;Almost There&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

  204. Here&#39;s a real intriguing group that was out of New York City and produced by John Hammond Sr. Moe, Adrian, &amp;amp; The Sculptors were a pretty obscure group and I&#39;m not exactly certain how they got together, or what their history was, but what intrigues me the most is band member Adrian Guillery was a student at SUNY New Paltz, a school that I spent two semesters at, and wasn&#39;t very successful in my academic endeavors. Adrian was a musician and artist and there&#39;s a website which features pictures of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.goldenagenewpaltz.com/adrian-guillery&quot;&gt;him&lt;/a&gt; in his New Paltz days that features his artwork, and some way cool pictures of him playing his&amp;nbsp; Danelectro&amp;nbsp; guitar and a few studio shots that were perhaps taken at this recording session. Very cool. Adrian, if you&#39;re out there drop me a line. I&#39;d love to know what New Paltz was like in the mid sixties. As for the record. it&#39;s tough to describe because it&#39;s raw in a &quot;garage&quot; sense, but has a soul/funk vibe to it as well. Lots of sax, flute and the harp wails throughout. Very cool 45 and one which should be sought out!&lt;br /&gt;

  209. The #1 were from New Haven, CT and were previously known as The Blue Beats who had two very good 45&#39;s on Columbia records. This 45 is a tale of two groups. &quot;The Collector&quot; is a terrific moody garage/psych/pop song with great ambiance, but &quot;Cracks In The Sidewalk&quot; sounds to me a lot like Jay And The Americans. I&#39;ve included both here so you can hear the difference.&lt;br /&gt;

  214. Oh wow, one of my favorite 45&#39;s ever. Since good buddy Chuck Ciriello turned me on to this back in the late &#39;80&#39;s, I&#39;ve been a fan of this one. I never really knew until recently that this was from 1969. O.K., the lyrics definitely got a west coast hippie vibe to them, but the band is still living in 1966, or at least 1967. Koffee Beans were from Baltimore, MD and were once known as The Henchmen who had a killer garage/punk 45 on Ru-Jac Records called &quot;She Still Loves You&quot;. Although this isn&#39;t &quot;killer&quot; garage/punk, it still has a bit of attitude left over from The Henchmen. Love it.&lt;br /&gt;

  219. A rather weird 45 from Minneapolis, MN. The &quot;Uglies&quot; had a bunch of 45&#39;s on various labels in various styles including the killer &quot;Get Straight&quot; which was released on Liberty records but this one strays into total weirdness, perhaps a bit too much L.S.D.???????&lt;br /&gt;

  224. Mike Condello was a Phoenix, AZ legend that fronted several groups including &quot;Hubb Kapp &amp;amp; The Wheels&quot;, &quot;Last Friday&#39;s Fire&quot; and simply &quot;Condello&quot;. A very eclectic figure in the history of Phoenix rock &amp;amp; roll he had a bunch of records released between 1962 and 1969. This one is a neat psychedelic number that was two sided. A long and short version. We&#39;ve included the full &quot;long&quot; version here.&lt;br /&gt;

  229. Wow. Let&#39;s take a real sharp left turn and dig on this 45! What&#39;s Left was apparently what was left over from Elvis Presley&#39;s original band, including Scotty Moore who &quot;presented&quot; this record. A nice mix of rockabilly, country, and good ol&#39; rock &#39;n roll are featured on the &#39;A&#39; side of this gem. The &#39;B&#39; side is re-make of &quot;Smokie&quot; a Bill Black Combo &quot;hit&quot; that is unfortunately one of the most boring instrumentals ever. Just sayin&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

  234. This 45 was released in 1975, but I believe it was recorded somewhere in 1971 when Elf were at their peak as a local act here in upstate NY. I may be wrong about that, but I&#39;m a bit weary right now in the &quot;research&quot; dept. What I can tell you is that &quot;Elf&quot; were previously known as &quot;The Electric Elves&quot; and had a way cool 45 on MGM. Actually a couple cool 45&#39;s and an LP on Epic. Lead vocalist Ronnie James Dio was the driving force of this band and they had a close relationship with Deep Purple, this 45 being produced by drummer Ian Paice and bassist Roger Glover, often being an opening act for them. When guitarist Ritchie Blackmore ditched Deep Purple in 1975 he chose Elf as his his backing band, re-named them &quot;Rainbow&quot; and had a successful run with them. Ronnie Dio would later replace Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath and have a successful solo career himself. Some real bona-fide &quot;hard rock&quot; here. Not &quot;garage&#39; in any sense of the word but a nice cool local upstate NY artifact.&lt;br /&gt;

This one was a looooong time coming and I&#39;m glad I got it finished because I always get this creepy feeling in the back of my mind that I&#39;m seriously neglecting this blog which I&#39;ve been writing and sharing music with for 10+ years. I should&#39;ve done a &quot;10th Anniversary post sometime last year, but even that got away from me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  258. I suffered a somewhat debilitating accident at work last June, and although it didn&#39;t put me down entirely, it certainly messed with my mojo for a good six months. That and the holidays and my migration from Windows 7 (which worked just great for the last 10 years) to Windows 10 also put a huge damper on things. I mean what the hell, can they make it any more difficult for you????&lt;/div&gt;
  259. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  260. Records are still trickling in every month and although I&#39;m not getting big boxes of records that often, like we say around here...slow drip fills the bucket. My biggest issue at this point is getting organized. I&#39;m basically trying to figure out what&#39;s been posted as opposed to what hasn&#39;t and I sometimes find myself in a state of confusion. Nonetheless, I try to soldier on with this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  261. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  262. As usual, I plucked a bunch of stuff which style-wise is a real mixed bag. Garage, psychedelic, pop, even a little bit of folk is being thrown in there as well and I hope you all enjoy. So without further adieu... Dan&#39;s Garage #134!!!!!&lt;/div&gt;
  263. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  268. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Five Sounds - Miss Ann / Peanut Butter (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  271. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  272. The Five Sounds were a group out of Halifax, Nova Scotia up in Canada and released two 45&#39;s on Epic (Their crosstown rivals The Great Scots also managed to get a 45 released on Epic. Seems as if a talent scout was up there looking for cool bands), both which are outstanding, especially this one with it&#39;s great performance and excellent production. These guys would eventually change their name to the Central Nervous System and release an LP which I&#39;ve never heard and a 45 on Laurie records.&lt;/div&gt;
  273. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  279. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  280. A group out of the UK that released four 45&#39;s, four in the UK and two in the US on Liberty. This was one of the four releases in Britain which was a nice peppy cover of The Beatles&#39; &quot;I Should Have Known Better&quot; which I believe made the charts there. Both sides are uptempo and feature some falsetto vocals in the mix.&lt;br /&gt;
  281. &lt;br /&gt;
  282. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Regents - Bald Headed Woman (1966)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  285. I forgot to add this &#39;B&#39; side the last time I featured this 45, a decent version of &quot;Bald Headed Woman&quot;. The Regents were from California and released several 45&#39;s on four different labels.&lt;br /&gt;
  286. &lt;br /&gt;
  287. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shuggy Ray Smith - Ruth From Duluth (1965)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  290. Not exactly sure who Shuggy Ray Smith was, it seems he also recorded as &quot;Ray Smith&quot; as well doing mostly country styled songs and this rocker from 1965.&lt;br /&gt;
  291. &lt;br /&gt;
  292. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dee &amp;amp; The Yeomen - Take The First Train Home / Why, Why, Why (1965)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  295. Dee &amp;amp; The Yeomen were from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and were quite popular, releasing seven 45&#39;s up there on Wolff and Reo records as well as two here in the US in 1969 as simply &quot;The Yeomen&quot; on Mainstream. They were led by guitarist/vocalist Graham Dunnett who was a transplant from the UK that played in a group called &quot;The Starliners&quot; who shared bills in Hamburg, Germany with Gerry &amp;amp; The Pacemakers and of course The Beatles. He moved to Toronto in 1964 and enjoyed some success throughout the mid sixties.&lt;br /&gt;
  296. &lt;br /&gt;
  297. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Checkmates - Hey Girl / All The Time Now (1965)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  300. The Checkmates from Amarillo, TX were more famously known as Ray Ruff &amp;amp; The Checkmates who recorded and released about eight 45&#39;s which were recorded at Norman Petty&#39;s studio in Clovis, NM and where Ruff became a staff producer as well. This was the last he released as The Checkmates and both sides are nice garage/pop numbers especially the flip &quot;All The Time Now&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
  301. &lt;br /&gt;
  302. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Downtown Collection - Washington Square / Sunshine (1969)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  305. Here&#39;s a 45 that&#39;s a cover of The Village Stompers folk hit &quot;Washington Square&quot; with some updated hippie lyrics and arrangement for the era. This 45 is noteworthy in that it was produced by Milan Radenkovic also known simply as &quot;Milan&quot; or more famously &quot;Milan The Leather Boy&quot; who had four 45&#39;s under that moniker as well as &quot;The World Of Milan&quot; and simply &quot;Milan&quot;. He was also involved in a 45 by a bubblegum group called &quot;Ice Cream&quot; that had a 45 on Capitol records as well as a bunch of others. He was a rather busy guy in the sixties until his untimely death in 1971.&lt;br /&gt;
  306. &lt;br /&gt;
  307. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Stratfords - Never Leave Me (1964)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  308. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  309. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1DnKxXXYJm_CdGHxaOl-k8bLH5Q_TW76NmfS2rmnD1IqrNXP_7ieKKCCBdu3dvaBS6j1Lr10gTFUX_1YqqA6TDNHQsxAdLSfCtm3rYU70KVldaNdpBcQTZniiIOczJA0P1T4ma7dE1NM/s1600/stratfords.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1127&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1107&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1DnKxXXYJm_CdGHxaOl-k8bLH5Q_TW76NmfS2rmnD1IqrNXP_7ieKKCCBdu3dvaBS6j1Lr10gTFUX_1YqqA6TDNHQsxAdLSfCtm3rYU70KVldaNdpBcQTZniiIOczJA0P1T4ma7dE1NM/s400/stratfords.jpg&quot; width=&quot;392&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  310. For some oddball reason I always thought these guys were from Pennsylvania but they were actually from Baltimore, MD and this was somewhat of a regional hit in 1964. This tune is real moody and features a male/female duet about two lovers promising never to leave each other. Real teen heartthrob stuff here. The Stratfords had seven 45&#39;s which is a lot for a local group in those days. I have one other which is far cooler than this one here. I promise to get to it in the future (if I haven&#39;t already!).&lt;/div&gt;
  311. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  313. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Buzz - You&#39;re Holding Me Down / I&#39;ve Gotta Buzz (1966)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  314. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  315. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMFuVJPK3y7R-RmdhCdh8mhXnigDESGljiPpfahB9xR46hjKZu2uO98D4nw4TmzAriu3aympGkvfJVmL4-1NgxXMIqohoKuhPJxgcT8v1keuuziUpEzDoUuqQHfucv4UZDrDyDfOByH6c/s1600/buzz.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1109&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1107&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMFuVJPK3y7R-RmdhCdh8mhXnigDESGljiPpfahB9xR46hjKZu2uO98D4nw4TmzAriu3aympGkvfJVmL4-1NgxXMIqohoKuhPJxgcT8v1keuuziUpEzDoUuqQHfucv4UZDrDyDfOByH6c/s400/buzz.jpg&quot; width=&quot;396&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  316. As a record collector who is on a rather &lt;i&gt;tight &lt;/i&gt;budget, I&#39;m always looking for steals and deals in the marketplace. I do most of my shopping on Ebay mostly because it allows me to peruse 45&#39;s for sale in the comfort of my home or anytime I have my Iphone with me. It&#39;s a lot easier than hauling my ass crosstown to one of the few record stores in that even remotely deal with this kind of stuff. I do try to hit the local record show which comes up about twice a year and I sometimes have good luck with that, but since the advent of the internet, Ebay, and other platforms, record shows have gotten smaller with less dealers and good product. Why would anyone pay $75 for a table and schlep their stuff into a large room and hope they get a good turnout? Such is the 21st Century, but I digress. This record represents one of those rare occasions that I stumble on something that is so cool, I gotta buy it no matter what condition it&#39;s in.&lt;br /&gt;
  317. The Buzz were a group out of the UK, Edinburgh to be exact and recorded this 45 with whacked out genius Joe Meek at the controls. I&#39;ve read a few articles about this 45 and all of them are spot on, this is the essence of &quot;freakbeat&quot;. &quot;You&#39;re Holding Me Down&quot; would be a masterpiece &lt;i&gt;without &lt;/i&gt;Joe Meek&#39;s production, but when you add him to the mix you get a totally demented track that doesn&#39;t fail to impress. Heavily compressed with wild fuzz, trebley guitars and shrieking echoed vocals that scream &quot;go back, go back,go back&quot; are the highlights of this 45 and could be Meek&#39;s finest moment. The flip is ok but compared to this it falls flat.&lt;br /&gt;
  318. Now on to the record itself. This thing usually fetches pretty big bucks wherever it&#39;s being sold and you&#39;re most likely going to pay well over $100 for it whether it&#39;s the US release on Coral, or the UK release on Columbia. I managed to score this on Ebay for $10 in a set sale with the caveat that it was &quot;really scratched up&quot; and in G- condition (G- is nearly unplayable using &#39;Goldmine&#39; standards), so I was quite horrified when I eagerly opened the package to discover a severely hammered record. I popped it on the turntable and to my surprise played all the way through with no skips. Now, I really am a stickler for playing my own 45&#39;s and hate substituting with something from a CD which I certainly could have done, but I present this gem in all it&#39;s scratched up glory as is. Dig it.&lt;br /&gt;
  319. &lt;br /&gt;
  320. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Whazoos - Inside Of Me / The Rains Came (1968)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  321. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  323. This group out of Wilkes-Barre, PA released this one great 45, a very nice example of late sixties garage/psyche that features some excellent fuzz guitar ala The Iron Butterfly. The flip is an ok version of Sir Douglas&#39; &quot;The Rains Came&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
  324. &lt;br /&gt;

  328. I have this weird fascination with the Murbo records label. Everything that I have on it is pretty cool especially &quot;The Household Sponge&quot; 45. I mean, there were 54 45&#39;s released on this label from 1963 to &#39;75 so there&#39;s got to be a few stinkers right??? This is another good one, and while it&#39;s not any sort of garage punker, it is rather unique in that it has no guitar on either side. &quot;You&#39;ve Got Your Needs&quot; features an electric piano and cheezy organ with great snotty vocals and some excellent backing harmonies. The flip is a little more subdued, well... a lot more subdued,&amp;nbsp; with some acoustic piano, bass and drums in 3/4 time but retains great lead and background vocals. I know nothing about this group but have read in a few places that they may have been from New York.&lt;br /&gt;

  333. If you&#39;ve ever seen the picture sleeve for this 45, one would think that The Banned were a group of way cool teenage garage punkers. I mean, I always thought they would be. The Banned, &quot;It Couldn&#39;t Happen Here&quot;, it all sounds too cool right? That&#39;s until I finally got my hands on a copy of this record. Disappointment is probably an understatement, but I grew to like this record as I acquired a taste for &quot;pop/psyche&quot; 45&#39;s and this one falls squarely into that category. I&#39;m glad I only spent 99 cents on it.&lt;br /&gt;

  338. Here&#39;s a 45 that actually cracked the top 40 in 1970, but I honestly don&#39;t remember hearing it at the time, perhaps my AM radio ears had not developed&amp;nbsp; (I was 9 or 10 at the time. Oh shit I gave that away!), but upon listening to this, I gotta say it&#39;s highly enjoyable. This band was fronted by Michael Fennelly who came out of The Millenium and was produced by Don Gallucci most famous for his genius electric piano playing on the Kingsmen&#39;s &quot;Louie Louie&quot;, and for being the leader of Don &amp;amp; The Goodtimes. Oh, he also produced The Stooges &quot;Funhouse&quot;. In fact, Crabby Appleton &lt;i&gt;and &lt;/i&gt;The Stooges shared this production/engineering team and their records were released a mere two months apart. How&#39;s that for some trivia!!!!&lt;br /&gt;

  343. Talk about whacked out records. We all know Dion Di Mucci as &quot;The Wanderer&quot;, the &quot;Run Around Sue&quot; guy, who had a slew of hits in the early and mid sixties and then fell to the temptations of heroin, and made a comeback in &#39;68 with his huge hit &quot;Abraham Martin and John&quot;. Well, this is the flip to that aforementioned record and it&#39;s one of his cooler, if not the coolest track he&#39;s ever recorded. Supposedly, this was recorded in the back of a bowling alley with a bunch of Jamaican guys banging on trash cans or cardboard boxes or something, and to great effect. A must have in everyone&#39;s collection.&lt;br /&gt;

  353. The Kindred Spirit were from Johnstown, PA just outside of Pittsburgh and released two 45&#39;s (this one here came in three different variations) and became a regional hit in NW Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. I gotta say, I didn&#39;t expect this version to be so frantic. That and the rather lo-fi recording makes this one a winner!&lt;br /&gt;

  358. Pretty good psych/pop. Unfortunately, I don&#39;t have a lot of info on this band except they may have released an entire LP on ABC.&lt;br /&gt;

  363. This was the first of what would be only two 45&#39;s that The Soft Machine ever released, the other being one called &quot;Teeth&quot; on Columbia records. About the time this one came out they were a four piece and were touring with Jimi Hendrix and and playing with Pink Floyd at The UFO club in London. This was about as &quot;mainstream&quot; as this band would get I believe, I must admit I&#39;m not a fan of these guys. I had about six or seven of their LP&#39;s and couldn&#39;t really sit through any of them, but this 45 caught my eye, and I&#39;m glad I got it. Very cool spaced out psychedelia.&amp;nbsp; They would later head into a more Jazz oriented direction, which is where I think they lost me.&lt;br /&gt;

Just like to give a shout out to all my friends and followers out there that this blog is still alive and my turntable keeps spinning like mad. Unfortunately, it&#39;s the writing, and scanning that takes up a huge amount of time here and that&#39;s something I seem to have little of these days. I&#39;m still getting records in the mail but not quite as many as in previous years. There&#39;s not much to be had in record stores these days and competition on Ebay is hot and heavy with lots of people with extremely deep pockets (or it would seem that way) scarfing up records like crazy, ut I do land some fabulous deals from time to time and I will share with all as soon as I get my collection somewhat organized. Best wishes to all, I hope everyone had a great Holiday season and hope for the best in the coming New Year!!!!&lt;br /&gt;

  387. I know it&#39;s been a VERY long time since I last posted and I sorely miss doing this. One of the main reasons is my record collection at the moment is so disorganized, that I&#39;m having a hard time figuring out what I&#39;ve used on this here blog, and what I&#39;ve played on the weekly Dan&#39;s Garage radio program, and to add insult to injury, I accidentally deleted the draft to this post after completing at least 3/4 of it. For this reason I will be very brief and won&#39;t add any sterling commentary on the 45&#39;s. Perhaps I&#39;ll add them later after I gather my thoughts again. This is a real bummer because I have real good info on a lot of these records. I still hope you enjoy it all anyway, some decent stuff here. I&#39;ll be working on the next one very soon. Thanks again to all for the kind comments and especially from members and/or friends and relatives of theses groups featured here.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  397. The &#39;D&#39; Men from Stanford, CT released three 45&#39;s, two on Veep and one on Kapp all pretty good garage/pop and all six sides are worth listening to. This particular 45 has a cool upbeat A side and the B side is a wild instrumental which features a particularly cheezy combo organ in the mix.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  404. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  405. What can I say about P.F. Sloan??? Possibly one of the twentieth centuries greatest rock, pop, folk songwriters who along with Steve Barri were responsible for a slew of hits in the sixties and well into the seventies. P.F. also had a rather prolific&amp;nbsp; solo career and released nine 45&#39;s, seven on Dunhill. This one here is a cool spoof on Bob Dylan with typical &quot;stream of consciousness&quot; lyrics. The B side is one of the sixties better folk rock numbers. Highly recommended.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  421. I could write about six pages of info on Joey Vine. Joey Vine was actually Joe Levine a rather famous musician, producer, arranger, etc. that was involved in everything from rock &amp;amp; roll to TV commercials. He sang with The Third Rail, and was also at the forefront of the &quot;bubblegum&quot; craze in the late sixties and early seventies and scored a big hit in 1974 with &quot;Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me)&quot;. On this 45 we witness another Bob Dylan spoof with &quot;The Out Of Towner&quot;. Classic.&lt;/div&gt;

  429. I love Manfred Mann. They were perhaps one of the most eclectic (I sometames dislike using that word about &quot;beat&#39; groups) bands of the British Invasion, mostly because they added a little something extra to their music, saxes, vibes, flutes as well as the usual guitar, bass, drums, keys, vocals profile. On this 45 they tackle a Bob Dylan song (AGAIN?!?!?!?!?) and do it rather nicley. The flip has lead vocalist Paul Jones crooning about himself.&lt;/div&gt;

  436. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  437. The Electric Elves were from Cortland, NY about 45 min south of Syracuse and were a popular act in the area of Central New York. Their claim to fame, aside from this very cool 45 is that a guy named Ronald James Padovana played bass and sang lead vocal with them. Ronnie shortened his name to Ronnie James Dio, shortened the band name simply to &quot;Elf&quot;, got discovered by Deep Purple bassist and producer Roger Glover, and was a warm up act for them as well. After Ritchie Blackmore split from Deep Purple he basically hired the rest of Elf to be his backing band and renamed them &quot;Ritchie Blackmore&#39;s Rainbow&quot;. Dio would later go on to replace Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath and have a huge solo career as well.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  452. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  453. The first 45 released by The Spencer Davis Group after Steve and Muff Winwood left the band. They were replaced by Eddie Hardin on keyboards and Phil Sawyer on guitar both excellent musicians keeping up with the emerging style of Traffic, Winwood&#39;s new band at the time. Both sides are great but the A side has stood up as a classic mainly because The Allman Bros. worked it into an instrumental and became one of their most famous tracks.&lt;/div&gt;

  477. O.K., I promise this&#39;ll be the LAST Dylan thing on this particular post. The Love Society were from Plymouth, WI smack dab between Milwaukee and Green Bay. They had a slew of 45&#39;s on various labels, some were pop, some were psych, and this kooky Dylan style number.&lt;/div&gt;

  485. These guys were mostly students from Julliard who probably needed to score some swingin&#39; chicks but didn&#39;t know whether to rock out or ditch their cellos and violins. I guess they figured &quot;why not combine both?&quot; and came up with this rather cool 45 that sounds a bit like... The Left Banke... ummm Baroque Pop if you will. Not bad.&lt;/div&gt;

  534. Greetings music lovers! I truly wish I had the time to post more frequently, but life just gets in the way to the extent that all my spare time is spent dealing with it&#39;s distractions. And sleep. Yeah, I remember I used to stay up late doing this but I gotta get 8 hours in (at least) so I can function properly during the day. I also spend a lot of time spinning records for the Dan&#39;s Garage radio show as well so there&#39;s that. I hope you are all satisfied with the re-ups. Aside from the password glitch on #78, all is working well and we should be good to go moving forward.&lt;/div&gt;
  535. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  537. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  538. As far as records go, I certainly have been acquiring bunches and there are 45s here that I purchased five years ago that are still in the &quot;can&quot; so to speak, and at the rate I&#39;m going these day&#39;s I&#39;ll be posting well into old age! Not much more to say here except that I thank all of you out there for your kind words and comments, it really makes my day. So without further adieu, here&#39;s #132!&lt;/div&gt;

  546. I love Gregory Dee &amp;amp; The Avanties. They&#39;re of those great frat rock bands ala The Kingsmen who can deliver great renditions of R&amp;amp;B tunes as well as this cool instro on the &#39;A&#39; side of this disc. The &#39;B&#39; side is no slouch either as it starts off as somewhat of a ballad and then shifts gears into a nice mid/fast tempo rocker. Excellent!!!!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  554. I almost never post &quot;girl group&quot; stuff, mainly because I really don&#39;t have any &quot;girl group&quot; 45s to speak of except for the obvious hits like The Shangri-Las and the like. There&#39;s a distinct difference between typical girl groups and your &quot;girls in the garage&quot; type bands, and when this 45 came up on Ebay it piqued my interest because it was listed under &quot;garage&quot; and Prism records out of Dayton, OH has some interesting records in their catalog. Oh, and the price was right, so I took a chance on it without really hearing it. I was pleasantly surprised because this is a very nice, catchy upbeat two sider that is not overproduced with a bunch of horns and orchestral arrangements. I&#39;m not sure who &quot;Pepi&quot; was, but it&#39;s probably a good assumption that she was from Dayton or somewhere in western Ohio.&lt;/div&gt;

  562. &amp;nbsp;The info I got on this 45 is that members were in The Skunks and The Bonnevilles, both bands out of Milwaukee, WI and as such this apparently gets lumped into The Skunks&#39; catalog. The &#39;A&#39; side of this is pretty good garage and &quot;Ring Rang Roo&quot; is obviously a novelty number, although it isn&#39;t half bad. &quot;Ring Rang Roo&quot; was later released again on Era 3155 with different &#39;B&#39; side. Strangely this one doesn&#39;t come up in any lists of either this group or The Skunks.&lt;/div&gt;

  570. Total coolness from perhaps one of the most underrated (or overrated depending on who you ask) groups out of Great Britain in the 1960&#39;s. This is their debut and although they would release a plethora of 45s afterwards, eventually evolving into a psychedelic act,&amp;nbsp; it&#39;s tough to top this one.&lt;/div&gt;

  578. Well...here&#39;s another great &quot;girl&quot; song by none other than Brenda Lee no less. I&#39;m guessing a few of you out there know the story behind this great 45 but for those who don&#39;t, well the story has it that Decca records flew Brenda to the U.K., where she was already a popular singer, appearing on &quot;Oh Boy&quot; in 1958 and clearly influencing Lulu (IMHO). She entered Decca studios in the late summer / early fall of 1964 when the British Invasion was at a fever pitch to record two songs exclusively for the British market. The session was produced by Mickie Most who also was producing Lulu at the time, no coincidence there, and featured Jimmy Page as a session guitarist. The two songs she recorded were this one here, and a raucous version of Ray Charles&#39; &quot;What&#39;d I Say&quot; for the &#39;B&#39; side. &quot;Is It True&quot; was written by John Carter and Ken Lewis who had already written a bunch of songs for Herman&#39;s Hermits, The Ivy League, Peter &amp;amp; Gordon, and others. It was quickly released in the UK on Brunswick records and shortly afterward, Decca released &quot;Is It True&quot; here in the U.S. making it the &#39;B&#39; side of a schmaltzy ballad. Is it True is &quot;truly&quot; a gem and it&#39;s unfortunate that good ol&#39; Brenda decided to head into a country/pop direction.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  586. Here&#39;s a decent two sider that has some nice minor chord pop sounds on the &#39;A&#39; side with a really good garage/beat &#39;B&#39; side. Apparently from somewhere on the west coat presumably L.A.&lt;/div&gt;

  594. Trying to get any info on this bunch turned up a big zero. I&#39;m not even going to venture a guess as to where these guys are from, with Uptown Records releasing songs by groups all over the U.S. Both sides of this 45 have a &quot;soul&quot; feel to them, but both songs are mostly tough sounding garage with good production and some great Farfisa organ driving them. Nice.&lt;/div&gt;

  602. Fuzz, Acid, and Flowers claims this group is from Memphis, but that may just be speculation as Hip Records was based there, but this was originally released on Exodus, and judging by that label, they may have been from somewhere near Chicago or the Midwest. I&#39;ll give FAF the benefit of the doubt on this one. Both sides are pretty good.&lt;/div&gt;

  610. Originally know as The Beau Denturies from Akron, OH, this group released this 45 under two different names and two different labels, the one you see here as The Zoo on Parkway, and also as The Yellow Pages on Encore Records (who also released the Beau Denturies 45). They actually do a nice job of tackling these two covers especially &quot;Where Have All The Good Times Gone&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;

  618. OK here&#39;s one that I know something about!!! The Traveling Salesmen were from Fort Worth, TX and evolved from The Velveteens who had a killer frat/rock 45 &quot;Ching Bam Bah on Golden Artists records, and which was featured in IDG#36. How they ended up getting a deal with RCA Victor is unknown, but they definitely had a winner with with this way cool folk/rock gem. I love the way the 12 string rings out on this one, real spooky kind of, and the Hollies cover on the &#39;B&#39; side is great as well!&lt;/div&gt;

  626. I probably mentioned this several times before, but my memory is so bad these days that I can&#39;t even keep track of where my car keys are, but someone once told me, &quot;A good song, is a good song&quot;. Words of wisdom and this is a perfect example. Before I ever heard this version I had always liked this song, especially in my early teens as I was on this acoustic guitar kick (I had not yet picked up an electric) and was singing the appropriate songs, so it wasn&#39;t unfamiliar. Then a few years back I heard this version and absolutely flipped. Everything about this is pure pop perfection from the jingly harpsichords, to the dreamy vocals, to the driving chorus, and even the orchestration. It all just fits. The Collection were from New York City and went to Queens College together. They started off as a folk group called the Guild Light Gauge and members included vocalist Fern Kauffman, and Eddie Simon, brother of Paul Simon. The project was produced by Jimmy &quot;The Wiz&quot; Wisner who worked with other pop acts such as Spanky And Our Gang and The Cowsills. For a more in-depth story of the group visit this site &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://officenaps.com/category/psychedelicpop/&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

  634. The Shags were a five piece from Peoria, IL and recorded this nice little 45 at The Golden Voice Studio in Pekin, IL. Although somewhat lightweight, the sounds on this 45 are really good. Nice pop/psych on both sides.&lt;/div&gt;

  641. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  642. The New Phoenix were a west coast band and was a bridge, so to speak, between The Hardtimes and T.I.M.E., who all essentially shared labels (World Pacific being a subsidiary of Liberty at the time). Produced by Mama Cass Elliot, this is another way cool piece of psych/pop with a fantastic guitar riff throughout. Too bad these guys never released another 45, I would have loved to hear more of it. I&#39;m not exactly sure how involved Mama Cass Elliot was in the production of this, but if she had her hands in it she did a decent job. Unfortunately, the &#39;B&#39; side is simply an instrumental version of this. Bummer.&lt;/div&gt;

  650. Here&#39;s another real obscure one by a group out of Stuebenville, OH which is just outside of Youngstown and Pittsburgh, PA where this 45 was most likely recorded. What we have here is a take on Joe Cocker&#39;s take of The Beatles&#39; &quot;With A Little Help From My Friends&quot;, a song which I really like, even the Joe Cocker version, but I much prefer The Beatles. 006&#39;s were led by guitarist and vocalist Rob Parissi, and eventually evolved into 70&#39;s funk/rock band Wild Cherry who had a big hit with &quot;Play That Funky Music White Boy&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;

  658. Let&#39;s end this shindig with a nice two sider with some heavy Hammond Organ playing in the mix. I&#39;m not sure who the Blue Gravel Rock Band were, but it would seem that they were from somewhere around Houston, TX. On this one they cover Otis Redding&#39;s &quot;Respect&quot; quite nicely while adding the riff to &quot;Reach Out&quot; in the intro and at the end. The flip is a cover of Johnny Rivers&#39; &quot;Summer Rain&quot;, not exactly one of my favorites from that guy, but Blue Gravel gives it the Texas psych treatment and voila! It&#39;s actually quite good! They had one other 45 on the same label but I&#39;ve never heard it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  680. It seems that some people are having trouble with #78. I thought I had removed the password for it, but I guess there&#39;s some kind of screw up with it so I re-did the file as a .zip file and I&#39;m pretty sure that should take care of the issue. I realize that this may be a simplistic way of presenting these re-ups, but I figured having them all in one place as opposed to navigating the website through the blog archive would save you a lot of time as well as me. All posts can still be accessed through the &quot;Blog Archive&quot; feature in the right hand column. Now, to finish up #132. See you all soon.........&lt;br /&gt;

  694. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I&#39;ve arranged these by simple volume number on one page so you only have to refer to this one here instead of searching out the exact post. When the pop up box appears on your screen it will say &quot;this file type not supported&quot;. Ignore that, hit the download button and you&#39;re good to go. The pop up serves as a media player for sharing mp3s, video, and all sorts of other media and since these are .zip ad .rar files, it doesn&#39;t recognize them as such.&lt;br /&gt;
  695. &lt;br /&gt;
  696. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;For those that are not familiar dealing with .zip and .rar files, may I recommend downloading &quot;7 Zip&quot;, a terrific archive extractor that handles both of these files easily and is free. You can download it &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.7-zip.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. The rest will be re-upped within the next week. Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;

Contrary to what everyone out there might think, I&#39;m still out here in the blogosphere alive and very well and still hoarding records, although my intake has slowed down considerably over the last few months, but I am looking forward to a record show at the end of the month and hopefully I can score some cool new items.&lt;br /&gt;
  698. That being said, the good news is for all of you out there who are first time visitors, and all who are looking for re-ups. I&#39;m now archiving all past editions of Dan&#39;s Garage on Box.net, a very affordable and nifty file sharing service, and unlike Zippyshare who&#39;s files expire after about 30 days, these files will be PERMANENT barring any unforeseen issues. Right now as we speak, I&#39;m preparing the links for the first 85 volumes, and will steadily re-up the rest over time. I&#39;m also working on a new post as well, so look out for that one. As always I appreciate the kind words from all of you and as for the requests for re-ups, I get so many that I have to keep them out of the comment stream. Hope you all are well out there and I will see you again very soon!&lt;br /&gt;
  699.

  706. Greetings music lovers!!!!!!! It&#39;s great to be back here dishing out a few 45&#39;s for all of you who are still paying attention, I mean, I know these posts have been coming out as a mere trickle these days and I probably should do this more often, but time gets away from me real fast so I unfortunately forget the whole thing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  707. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  708. Thanks to all who have been leaving kind comments and adding pertinent info to my feeble attempts at chronicling the history of these 45&#39;s and the bands that played in them. Like I&#39;ve always said, you are as much a part of this thing as I am.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  709. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  710. As far as my record collection is concerned, I haven&#39;t been buying as much as I used to, mainly because of budget constraints. Not that I have less money, only because the prices on these things are going trough the roof! But hey, if you got the dough, spend it. On the bright side, if you could see what I&#39;ve got here surrounding me in the deep bowels of &quot;Dan&#39;s Garage Central&quot;, you would be shocked at how many records I&#39;ve got, and most of them have not yet been chronicled on this blog so please stay tuned for more in the near future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  711. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  712. For anyone that&#39;s remotely interested, I continue to do a show on the Internet hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://radiofreephoenix.com/&quot;&gt;radiofreephoenix.com&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://deepoldies.com/&quot;&gt;deepoldies.com&lt;/a&gt;. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.radiofreephoenix.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Radio Free Phoenix&lt;/a&gt; show broadcasts on the Internet every Wednesday night at 10:00 PM EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME. If you&#39;re in another time zone make adjustments accordingly. The same show is re-broadcast on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.deepoldies.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Deep Oldies&lt;/a&gt; on Sunday afternoons at 2:00 PM EDT. What I do on these shows are basically the same as what I do on this blog. Spin records for &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;OUR&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; enjoyment.&lt;/div&gt;
  713. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  714. As usual we&#39;ve got a fine mix of cool sounds this time around. Have no fear, we are not going away anytime soon.&lt;/div&gt;
  715. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  716. Love, Dan&lt;/div&gt;

  724. Warren Schatz was a big time producer back in the 60&#39;s and early 70&#39;s and has a very long resume of hits which I won&#39;t get into here, but he did engineer some extremely cool garage 45&#39;s in the 60&#39;s on various labels, mostly studio projects like The Whispers, and The Shapes Of Things whose version of&amp;nbsp; The Kinks&#39; &quot;So Mystifying&quot; is probably better than the original. He also released nearly a half dozen 45&#39;s as &quot;Ritchie Dean&quot;, most of them on Tower records and the majority being songs in the&amp;nbsp; teen/pop/rock style. Except for this one. Here he taps into a very cool Bo Diddley vibe with &quot;Time&quot;, a classic pounder, and settles down to covering a Bob Dylan song on the B side. Bothe very good but &quot;Time&quot; is the clear standout and a classic in my humble opinion.&lt;/div&gt;

  732. The Mary Jaye Four were most likely from the Minneapolis area, although I could be dead wrong about that because I can&#39;t find any solid info on Mary Jaye and her band on the greatest info provider on the planet Google. I tried other search engines and the only think I came up with was that this 45 was also released on Raynard, a label out of Wisconsin, so that mucks things up even more! Mary Jaye sounds real sexy on the A side, kind of like a Rock &amp;amp; Roll Julie London, and the B side which is a bit more up-tempo ain&#39;t bad either.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  740. &amp;nbsp;Press records was a pretty cool label which was distributed by London here in the U.S. They obviously were an outlet for bands coming from the U.K. and Europe and were similar to Deram, Colosseum, Chapter One,(all distributed by London) and Parrot, whose main British acts here in the U.S. were The Zombies, Them, and later in the 60&#39;s and into the 70&#39;s, Savoy Brown, as well as a host of others. Press&#39; major claim to fame was Los Bravos whose &quot;Black Is Black&quot; was a pretty big hit in the U.S. but everything else on the label was fairly obscure, including this one by Dave Gordon &amp;amp; The Reb-Tides who do a note for note cover of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick &amp;amp; Tich&#39;s &quot;Hard To Love You&quot;. Very nice, as well as the fuzz drenched flip Call Me. Dave Gordon apparently was from Germany, but I really can&#39;t say for certain.&lt;/div&gt;

  748. The Deep Six were a typical Folk/Psych/Pop group that basically put out very nice guy/gal vocal numbers ala The Mamas &amp;amp; The Papas, only not as good. Their output is real lightweight and was most likely recorded using musicians from the Wrecking Crew, but this one song is actually pretty darn good, so I&#39;m featuring it here!&lt;/div&gt;

  756. The Lancastrians released eight 45&#39;s, six in the U.K. and two in the U.S. all well worth finding. They were mostly folk /rock oriented (their first hit was &quot;We&#39;ll Sing In The Sunshine&quot;) and the two 45&#39;s I have are very moody sounding including this gem, a cover of the Kinks&#39; &quot;The World Keeps Going Round&quot; which is performed at least as well, if not better, than Ray Davies &amp;amp; Co. Jimmy Page is reported to be playing guitar on the A side.&lt;/div&gt;

  764. Wow. One of my favorite 45&#39;s ever! &quot;One Of The Bunch&quot; is one of those songs that is clearly not a typical &quot;garage band&quot;, but a bunch of guys (no pun intended), who really had their shit together. This is two of the best sides of sixties rock and roll I&#39;ve ever heard. The Purple Gang were from North Hollywood, California and guitarist Mark Landon later went on to join The Music Machine.&lt;/div&gt;

  772. I asked a record collector who I once corresponded with quite a while ago what he considered really good records from the sixties and if&amp;nbsp; bands from &quot;Back From The Grave&quot; were the best of the best and blah, blah, blah, and he rattled off some stuff that at the time I thought was really lightweight, and I asked,&quot;so you like that?&quot;, and his answer was, &quot;hey, a good song is a good song&quot;. He was right. As I&#39;ve matured, so have my &quot;mental taste buds&quot; for music and I can now appreciate a truly great song like this. This was not one of Neil&#39;s biggest hits, but it&#39;s basically all of the really good ones all rolled up into one 2:45 masterpiece.&lt;/div&gt;

  780. &amp;nbsp;This 45 has made the 60&#39;s comp rounds quite a bit and I really never get tired of it. I was trying to break down what the hell this band was comprised of and came to the conclusion that they don&#39;t have a bass player, at least I don&#39;t think they do, or their using a six string bass. In any case there are three guitars a drummer and a bunch of vocals flying around on this cool folk/rock two sider which was written and produced by Jackie DeShannon. Very cool stuff indeed.&lt;/div&gt;

  788. Whoa. Now here&#39;s some truly cool psychedelic shit. &quot;A Wristwatch Band&quot; was the B side to a very mundane version of Jimi Hendrix&#39; &quot;Fire&quot; which included some decent fuzz guitar but is marred by a horn section. The A side however begs you to light up as many dubys as you possibly can in it&#39;s rather short playing time. Bill Wendry and his Tweeds were from Springfield, MA and released six sides for Columbia, five of which are pretty good mod/psych/soul inspired tunes that aren&#39;t actually bad for a band with a horn section. &quot;A Wristwatch Band&quot; however jumps right off the wagon and hey, maybe they lit up a few joints before &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; while they were recording this, because it doesn&#39;t sound anything like the other five songs they cut. Kudos.&lt;/div&gt;

The most notable thing about this particular 45 and the band that played on it, is that a young Nils Lofgren played and wrote both sides of this 45. Lofgren would later go on to join Neil Yong&#39;s Crazy Horse, play in his own band Grin, have a successful solo career and end up in Bruce Springsteen&#39;s &quot;E&quot; Street Band.&lt;/div&gt;

  804. Yow! Let&#39;s light up up a few more dubys for this one out of Boston, MA!!! Phluph recorded this 45 and an LP for Verve records and I say that because this 45 version is a bit different from the LP version. Not radically different, but I believe a totally different take. I used to have this LP and thought it was good, but I sold it because i felt it was not &quot;garage&quot; enough to keep in my collection. What a stupid mistake that was.&lt;/div&gt;

  812. Denny Ezba was a guy from San Antonio, TX that released a bunch of 45&#39;s in different styles on different labels before he settled into whacked out Texas psychedelia. I featured &quot;Queen Mary&quot; in a previous post way back when, and that was an extremely cool track (anyone got a duby??), but this one is even more out there. Don&#39;t be fooled by the title, yeah, it&#39;s basically a cover of John Lee Hooker&#39;s &quot;Dimples&quot; and he does take credit for writing it, but the performance is classic nutty late sixties Texas psychedelia complete with crazed stereo panning of the guitar part (headphones and dubys required). Does anyone have a strobe light????&lt;/div&gt;

  820. A nice treatment of The Byrds&#39; classic that&#39;s a tad on the soft side, but AOK nonetheless. The funny thing about this 45 is that they credit &quot;The Byrds&quot; as opposed to the actual composer, Gene Clark. Maybe they were trying to avoid royalties, or perhaps they only heard this song on the radio a couple of times because they royally screw the lyrics up big time. Presumably these guys were from Cincinnati or somewhere in southern Ohio or northern Kentucky. The B side is actually a pretty cool moody garage ballad. There were at least two other Patriots floating around in the mid-sixties and possibly more.&lt;/div&gt;

  828. Here&#39;s another 45 where info is very scarce, in fact it&#39;s pretty much non existent. The Sindicate, which I would presume was from New Oxford, PA, put out this lone single (to my knowledge) with a way cool pink and white label that reads right side up every which way you turn it. Both sides are decent late sixties/early seventies garage/psyche with a dominant Hammond organ driving both sides. This must&#39;ve been &quot;new old stock&quot; from a jukebox haul because it came with a real nifty card as shown here....&lt;/div&gt;
