Another great re-issue from Erik Lindgren and Arf Arf records: this time the early 60’s story of a “local band done good”, a group of 16-17 year olds who had a hit (title track) due to simple local support that almost knocked off the Beatles on the charts. Retrospective of their pop garage, surfy recordings ca. 1965, with some classic covers too. Great old stuff, an ode to a music success story/paradigm that doesn’t exist anymore. 1) title track, hit song, upbeat w/ great fender guitar tone 2) slower more romantic/sad feel 3) Zombies stalwart, beauty “tell her no, no, no….” 4) upbeat 5) slow dance feel 6) upbeat, Beach Boys feel 7) upbeat, w/ whistling 8) cover of “Pretty Woman”, better than Roy’s 9) rocking blues feel 10) harmonica laden melodic, very Beatles 11) white boy version of Johnny B. Goode 12) upbeat fun feel 13) killer fender twang reverb tone 14) romantic Beatles feel, harmonies 15) cool rock, “would you believe” 16) psychey w/ appearance of organ 17) romantic, sweet lyrics, “awww” feel 18) hang on sloopy feel 19) more of a late 60’s “arranged” pop feel w/ brass and harmonies 20) brass feel continues, rockin though 21) different rawer lead vocs, fuzzy guitar and organ lends a go-go firl “60’s” feel 22) slow dance romantic, Hammond organ, ballroom dimmed lights 23) upbeat handclaps, banana splits feel, remake of the title track 24) bouncy bitter sweet 25) cinematic feel, heavy arrangements | ||
