NEW SOCIETY - I Prithee/ RCA 8807 VG+ 3
(WLP. Male/female harmony vocals, rock band plus orchestra. Flipside is a comickal fake-country
hee-hawg-o-rama.)
NEW SOCIETY - I've Been Thinking About You Baby/ RCA 9149 VG++ 5
(WLP. Winchester Modern Millie ragtime/pop, completely rockless. Dig that crazy jew's-harp,
though. Flip is a very pretty ballad.)
NEW WATERMELON RHYTHM BAND - I've Never Been Out Of Love (In Denver Before)/Lengthy Conversation
Rumble (USA) 004 VG+/VG+ 5
(1979, Chicago area. Country-rock bar-band, M/F vocals. Both sides were comped on "Pointy Feet
Beat" regional LP. Sleeve drawn by underground cartoonist Jay Lynch.)
NEWBEATS - I Believe I'm In Love With You/ Playboy (USA) 6013 NM 5
(1974. Punchy, not-bad pop-rock with Bee Gee-ish vocals. B-side is familiar, what other version
of this song do I know? Kiki Dee maybe?)
HARRY NILSSON - You Can't Take Your Love (Away From Me)/Born In Granada Tower (USA) 136 NM 10
(LA pop-rock, fits right in with everything else the LA music machine pumped out in those
years. B-side's kinda cute with handclaps and horns.)
1929 DEPRESSION - Child Of Clay/ Providence PROV 422 NM 10
(WLP. Overwrought, extremely 'relevant' and 'meaningful' protest song pop/rock. Rock combo +
horn section + strings, Ernie Maresca involvement. Flip is pretty-hot blue-eyed 60's funk/
soul.)
NITTIE GRITTIES - Nine Days Late/ Extra (USA) 19661 @VG++ 35
(A bit of the old Shadows of Knight sneer on this one, a moody beat-ballad punker about the fear
of teenaged pregnancy. "My baby, she's late, she's nine days late..." Unknown, un-comped...
maybe not quite tough enough for the G1000, but still an awesome record. Flipside is midtempo
pop-punk/folk-rock. Not bad, but I'd like it better if it wasn't so Lovin' Spoonful. Slight
ring.)
NOELS - Runaway Boy/That's My Song Plantation (USA) 40 VG++ 12
("Moody garage sound", 66-ish girl-pop with some garage/beat moves. Unusual.)
NO NAME - Are You Satisfied Now, Girl?/ Gramm (USA) 701 stVG++ 5
(1970 horn-rock AOR. B--side is vaguely appealing. Sl. warp, NAP.)
NULL SET - He Came Back/With Your Love Date (USA) 1520 VG++ 12
(WLP. 1966 orch-pop with a girl trio struggling to stay on key. Slow & kinda charming. B-side:
same, add harpsichord.)
ONE WAY STREET - Girls, Girls/Yard Dog Apollo (USA) CF-100 stVG++ 30
(Peculiar poppy thing with calliope-sound organ and... um... whistling. Might push somebody's
'moody' buttons, but I didn't really like it. Flip's a snotty Mitch Ryder/Sam The Sham
garage/frat soul-punk strut. New Orleans label? Not the classic 50's NYC one.)
ROY ORBISON - Twinkle Toes/ MGM K13498 @VG+ 6
(1966, Orbi tries his hand at FRAT ROCK! Ooh, it's weird -- thick fuzz, handclaps, lyrics about
dancing, riotous Sam The Sham-style party noises in the background... Flipside's a more typical
Roy-style ballad.)
OUTSIDERS - What Makes You So Bad You Weren't Brought Up That Way/ Capitol (USA) 5646 @VG++ 6
(Decent major-label punker, not amazingly raw & monstrous, but not bad. Has a fade-out with
talkover just like 'All the Young Dudes'. Um... who's gonna kick WHO in the head? Flip's a
ballad with strings.)
OUTSIDERS - Respectable/Lost In My World Capitol (USA) 5701 VG+ 5
(Punchy fratsound rocker, takes after Isley Brothers. Flip's a bit more garagey, Byrds-style
riffing and sweet vocals.)
JERRY PALMER - Walking The Dog/Don't Leave Me, Baby Gaiety (USA) G-111 VG++ 15
(1966. Fun frat/garage funnishness, enjoyable version of a routine song. Flip's a teener, sorta
reminds me of 'Midnight Confessions.')
MARK PALMER - Take A Little Time Out, Girl/ Spark SP 02 stVG++ 7
(1971. Nice midtempo flowerpop guy. Somebody needs to steal that hook out of the chorus, he
didn't quite do it justice. Flipside is a little heavy on the horns. Nice tiny-label Orig.
Fact. Sleeve.)
NICK PALMER - Green Pastures/ RCA 9559 VG++ 5
(Yellow promo label. A-side is a country-ish, Elvis-y ballad, 1968-style. B-side is a lost-in-
time big band throwback.)
JIM PASH - Behind The Wall/ C.M.C.W. no # VG-/VG++ 5
(1974. Ex-SURFARIS guy goes pro-CHRIST and anti-COMMIE. Very effective arty/dirgy folk-rock
licensed from USA micro-label.)
PASTERNAK PROGRESS - Cotton Soul/Flower Eyes Original Sound (USA) OS-77 NM-- 40
OR severe lbl damage VG++ 22
(LA band, organ-led psych-punker, moody & interesting -- major DOORS influence. It's the ways
they get it wrong that are most interesting. )
PEACE MILL - Long Nights, Hard Times/Be With Me Tonight PM (USA) no # NM 5
(North Carolina. 1974-76? Bouncy-poppy top-40 with handclaps & horn section; flip is pop-funk
with synth and heavy wah-wah action. Could be anywhere up to 1982 or so, but I'm guessing
earlier.)
PAUL PEEK - Out Went The Lights Of My World/ 1-2-3 PRO-4716 VG++ 6
(1969, promo label. Former Gene Vincent sideman (from 56-57) doing some country/crossover and
some blue-eyed soul rock/pop. Wish it was more 'billier, but it's okay, I guess.)
PEPPER - Hot Fun/ Haoli (USA) HR-1001 stVG+/NM- 3
(Hawaiian band, probably 80's. Hodge-podge of Phil Collins riffs, Chicago horn charts, and SoCal
60's beach-pop sounds. Pret-ty weird.)
PERFECT STONE - Little Girl Purple/ Certron C-10014 stVG 4
(Not-bad horn-rock with female vocals and hand-drums. Flip's kinda dull '71-ish AOR.)
PIECES OF EIGHT -Lonely Drifter/ A&M 854 stVG++ 7
(1967/68, ex-SWINGING MEDALLIONS. Blue-eyed soul/pop with intense, pleading vocals. Flip's a
go-go instro with lots of swingin' organ. Beach music?)
POOR - Come Back Baby/ Decca (USA) 32318 NM 15
(1968, last of four 45.s by this band. Pink label promo. Decent garage-pop on the A-side, flip
is sweeter and flowerpsychier.)
EDDIE POWERS - A Million Tears Ago/ Sims (USA) 236 @VG++ 5
(WLP, '64-65. Breathy teen-tenor beat ballad b/w b.t.t.b.b. with organ and fuzz bass.)
BILLY PRESTON - That's The Way God Planned It/What About You? Apple (USA) 1808 NM- 10
(Said to be scarce, two album sides from all-star-jam-band era Billy Preston. Produced by George
Harrison, probably all kindsa big-name rockers playing the session. MONO pressing. Rock-soul-
funk.)
PRINCETONS - Georgianna/ Colpix CP 793 stVG++ 15
(1965. Charming garage-pop with driving twang-guitar and organ, no rhythm section to speak of,
and very sweet/melodic vocals. Sounds SoCal, don't know where they were from... Teen-dance cri-
sis lyrical content is endearing...)
PRISM - It's Over/same Ariola 7691 NM 3
(1978. Promo label.)
NEW!! 11/15 HY PROOF AND THE FERMENTATIONS - Big Daddy's Theme/Big Daddy's Song
Castlewood International Corporation (USA) no # VG++ 6
(Funklite-LITE, sounds like a TV theme song. By Doc Severinson. Basically an advertisement for
Big Daddy's Lounge, a club so special they had their own theme song. In Florida. Pretty cheesy.)
GARY PUCKETT/UNION GAP - Over You/ Columbia (USA) 4-44644 VG+/VG+ 6
(1968? Orchestrated MOR, an edge-of-your-memory oldies-station standby. Not much, sez I. Flip's
orch-folk-rock with an appealing vocal.)
PUPPET - Best Friend/Good Morning God Date (USA) 2-1666 stVG 3
(Courtship of Eddie's Father tune b/w some kinda horrible Neil Diamond/BS&T thing.)
QUESTIONS - if I Had My Way/Can I Believe RCA (USA) 8894 NM- 5
(Megaphone-vocal pop-rock, reminds me of Lovin Spoonful.)
RANJI - Prince, The Cowboy And Me/ Anthem 51012 VG++ 3
(Arty MOR in that 1972 Jimmy Webb/Neil Diamond bag.)
RANDY - Crying/By The Time I Get To Phoenix Teen Town (USA) 104 stVG++ 6
(1968. Orbison/Jimmy Webb covers; nicely-produced top-40 knockoffs. "Phoenix" sounds note-for-
note like the original, as best I can remember... Both sides very smooth. Solo sides by member
of The Skunks?)
DON RAY - I Feel Love Coming On/ RCA 9170 NM- 25
(WLP,1967. This isn't anything I would call soul, but it pops up on soul want-lists... Pleasant
beat-pop that borrows all the best bits from 'I Got You Babe'.)
REFLECTIONS - Just Like Romeo And Juliet/ Golden World GW 9 @VG+ 4 ON HOLD
(1964 or 65, classic garage-y rock/pop from the Nuggets collection. Flip is an old-fashioned
teen/doo-wop throwback. RSOL.)
REINDEER ARMY - Walk On/ Laurie 3537 NM 12
(Band from Maine. Promo label. Tinny-sounding garage-pop with horns. Nice cheapo production,
kiss-off lyrics, cool hook in the chorus... Flip's lounge-y, sounds like THE LETTERMEN.)
RENE AND RENE - Yo Te Lo Dije/ Columbia 43140 WLP NM 5
- Please Don't Bother/ 43163 WLP VG- 3
(2rsol, sl warp NAP, o/w looks NM/plays like sh.)
JAN RHODES - Mom (Can I Talk To You?)/Chasing Honey Blue (USA) 1001 VG+ 7
(WLP. Late 60's. An old favorite of mine, show-tune styled girlpop jaw-dropper about unmarried
pregnancy, like "remember last week when you made the waffles and I was sick at the breakfast
table? Well, I need to talk to you, Mom, cuz, Mom, I'm in trouble..." Well, maybe not EXACTLY
like that, but pretty close.)
RICCARDO/4-MOSTS - Barefootin'/ Foremost U4KM-0936/7 VG 5
(Probably 1968/69; pretty good frat-rock dancer with horns, cover of a N'O'leans funk hit from
'67. Flipside is a cheesy homemade Four Seasons/Lettermen-style ballad with some sour notes.
Very obscure, but not amazingly great.)
RICHARD & YOUNG LIONS - Open Up Your Door/Once Upon Your Smile Philips (USA) 40381 VG++ 40
(Dramatic fuzz-n-adenoids punker with some Stones influence. Imagine a cruddy local band doing
Get Off My Cloud/Heart Of Stone.)
NOONEY RICKETT - In The Swim/Bye Bye Love 20th Century Fox (USA) 500 stVG++ 20
(Promo label. Fratty on one side, garagey on the other; guitar-rock with some Mersey moves.)
RIGHTEOUS BRO.S - Soul And Inspiration/ Verve VK 10383 VG+/VG++ 10
BILLY LEE RILEY - Valley of Dolls/Lonely Man Mojo (USA) 3611 NM- 10
(1967. Uptempo, melodic southern rock with a Byrds-y vesion of the "I Feel Fine" riff. Flip's a
spooky Orbison-style ballad.)
JOHNNY RIVERS - Secret Agent Man/You Dig Imperial (USA) 66159 @VG+/stVG+ 5
(From the live album, I reckon -- paranoid garage-y classic b/w frat-rock blues-vamp that sounds
like Jesus Loves The Stooges.)
ROADRUNNERS - Tell Her You Love Her/ Michigan Nickel MNC 003 VG++ 15
(1965, I think, local band on small local label... Simple ballad in the pre-63 Philadelphia-
teen style b/w a very basic, amateurish but catchy instro based on Chuck Berry riffs.)
ROCKIDS - She's A Cartoon/ TKO 007 @NM--/NM 15
(1979, New Jersey rockin' stoopids. Boogie/glam -- T REX with a little bit of QUEEN thrown in.
Cartoon-drawing of band on P/S.)
ARSENIO (RODRIGUEZ) - Hang On Sloopy/Vaya Pa'l Monte Bang (USA) 533 VG++ 10
(WLP. 1966. Boogaloo/salsa version of garage standard; heavily accented talkover vocals in
English give it some horrifying novelty appeal. Flip is straight proto-salsa, a direct rip
from 'Guantanamera'.)
RON-DELLS - Walk About/If You Really Want Me To I'll Go Brownfield (USA) BF-18 NM- 15
(TX label, 1965... Rural-psych/country-rock in full-on Byrds jangle mode. Flip's an instro with
shitkick guitar and a cordovox solo. DELBERT MCCLINTON'S first band.)
LINDA RONSTADT/STONE PONEYS - Up To My Neck In High Muddy Water/ Capitol 2110 @VG+/NM-- 15
(1968. LA folk-rock -- into -- country-rock. Strong C&W flavoring, string section... The first
of her 45.s to be issued with a PS, I believe.)
ROSE COLORED GLASS - Mystic Touch/ Bang (USA) B-584 NM- 5
(1971, smooth, uptempo white-soul/funk-lite. Sounds like Gamble & Huff producing the Doobie
Brothers.)
JOEY ROSS - Rumors/ Clipper (USA) CL-1073 stVG++ 6
(1960's,Maine. 1962-style teen-pop updated for 1967-68. Ballad two-sider,with some awkward
bossa nova moves on A-side. Instrumental backing by the (Maine) BARRACUDAS, but they're
playing sweet and twee.)
TONY ROSSINE - Treat Her Right/ Capitol 3031 NM 4
(Former Sun Records performer in 1971, doing some MITCH RYDER-style blue-eyed soul.)
ROYALS - Summertime In Maine/ Croydon (USA) 122492/122493 VG- 3
(Local-boy version of Jay & Americans or Lettermen sound, but it does at least have some lead
guitar. Their other 45 on Croydon may have some teenaged oomph, but this one's pretty bland.
I kinda like the B-side instro, though...)
RUMPLESTILTSKIN KARTOON - Come To The Carnival/ Critique 1076 NM 30
OR VG++ 22
(Band apparently from Maine; date unknown, but probably 1967-68. Melodic, uptempo garage-pop
with farfisa. Pret-ty darn smooth, but gloriously teenaged-sounding. Flip is white doo-wop,
straight-up 1962 style, with some jazzy guitar licks.)
BRYAN RUSSELL & JUNIOR PROMS - Super-Cali-Fragil-Istic-Expi-Ali-Docious/I Fall In Love Every Year In The Fall
Coliseum (USA) 2702 NM- 8
(Promo label. Go-go pop-rock/early bubblegum with pre-teen singer. Uptempo two-sider, of course.)
SAFETY PATROL - Lovin' Time/ Colossal P 2526 VG+ 4
(1969. Exploito-sounding garage psych with goofy vocals, Beach Boys and Chuck Berry moves.)
ST. DAVID'S ROAD - All Fall Down/Strange Loves Of Gwyneth Monument (USA) 1230 NM-- 15
(WLP. 1970? Smooth & melodic US version of tinkertown pop-psych-lite. Not very psych-ish, but
A-side has a little bit of phasing, lyric about toy soldiers. B-side is about... um... some-
thing else; it's bouncy and upbeat, got the UK moves for sure. Small WOL.)
SANDS - Dance, Dance, Dance/ Critique (USA) 1078 VG++ 15
(Maine, 1966? Dee-lightful, exuberant frat-rock/top 40 with horns. Excellent drumming, overall
very nice record; I kept thinking it was a song the Ramones could have covered. Flip is a
note-for-note cover of a then-current hit, pretty insignificant.WOL, o/w NM.)
SHADDEN & KING LEARS - Come Back When You Grow Up/All I Want Is You Arbet (USA) 1016 NM- 20
(1967? Teen classic in the best "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" tradition, covered immediately
after release by Bobby Vee. It's sweet in the best ways. B-side's tougher; gravelly vocals,
Spencer Davis/Traffic vibe (except it's the jazzy Traffic like Barleycorn...) ...)
SHADES OF BLUE - Oh How Happy/ Impact 1007 VG++ 6
(Osborne says 1966, sounds like a few years later. Uptempo gospel/bubblegum hybrid, flip is
1969-ish horm MOR.)
JOHNNY SHARP AND THE YELLOW JACKETS - Don't Wanna be Free/Bombie
Yellow Jacket (USA) 041168 NM-- 85
(Dallas label. No date, has zip code. 1965? R&B rocker with sax, tuff guitar break. Flipside is
a "rockin in the jungle" thing that I like a LOT; it's comped on White Trash Rockers, and you
can hear it in a podcast here, it's way down toward the end, fast-forward to 2:38:48:
http://wusb.fm/rockandroll/october06.html
DARRELL SHEPHERD/ZERFA BLUE - Can't Go To Sleep/Trip To Heaven Varsity (USA) 2002 NM- 4
(Deeply country-sounding blue-eyed soul; A-side is stiff & clumsy funk, B-side is a fairly
attractive ballad. Pret-ty weird. Nashville label; no date, but label gives zipcode & says
"recorded in stereo".)
SHILLINGS - Children And Flowers/ Three Rivers (USA) 701 VG+ 8
(Cali-pop sound with big harmony vocals, big drums, big production. Jackie De Shannon song.)
SHIRA- Sing Him A Song/Krishna Jamie (USA) 1400 NM- 8
(WLP, 1971. Totally drifty folkie-hippie acoustic. One guy, one voice, one guitar. Real Jamie-
label material, huh?)
SHOTGUN MESSENGER - Lay Me Down/I Love You And That's All
Great World Of Sound (USA) no # NM- 15
("Test Release" -- not sure if that only means it's a promo, or means something more; possibly
no full-scale release on this title? Florida label, no zip code; I'm guessing @ 1968. Real
appealing early southern rock, sounds like a cross between late Byrds and "Honky Tonk Woman"
instead of the guitar-heavy boogie/blues-band sound of Capricorn bands... Flip's uptempo,
semi-acoustic w/flute, a little too top-40.)
SIDE THREE - Sunshine Sunday/Every Now and Then Mohawk (USA) 701 NM-- 8
(1968. Moody, echoey wah-wah harmony-pop two-sider.)
SILVERLEAF - I Think I'm Falling In Love/Too Long KSS (USA) 7902 stVG+/VG++ 12
(Missouri, 70's. A-side's top-forty, B-sides Doobies-sound rock with atmospheric, psych-y intro
and some fuzz.)
CHRIS SIMMONS - Wild World/ Kapp K-2109 VG++ 4
(Early 70's, WLP. Flowerpop. A-side is the Cat Stevens tune, flip uses synthesizer to play lead
lines.)
SIMON & GARFUNKEL - Mrs. Robinson/ Columbia 44511 VG+ 3
SIMON AND GARFUNKEL - Bridge Over Troubled Water/Keep The Customer Satisfied
Columbia (USA) 4-45079 VG+/VG 3
SMEAD - Blow Away/Glory Road Now (USA) N-9 NM- 6
(Promo label, 1974. CA label. Country-ish power-ballad b/w... uh... funky-ish power ballad. From
the days when Rock Music wasn't exciting anymore and only Lester Bangs seemed to care.)
SPARROW AM-FM - Hit - Hook/November Cold Neon (USA) UR 2749 VG++/@VG++ 5
(1981, Chicago area. Piano and female vocal, a bit like Joni Mitchell taking on some prog-rock
flavor. Flipside is AOR/funk with reggae-ish horns, long clumsy guitar break. Pretty tough for
what it is.)
SPECTRA - Hurry Girl/Oh Baby (We Got A Good Thing Going) Marathon (USA) 1007 VG- 50
(Phoenix, AZ, 1966? EXCELLENT jangle-punk two-sider, eminently compworthy. One or two Arizona
specialists know about this one, but nobody else seems to have caught up with it. It's boss.
Ugly scratch/noise at end of B-side.)
DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - All Cried Out/ Philips 40299 b stVG/@VG+ 7
- The Look Of Love/ Philips 40465 VG 3
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Secret Garden/Thunder Road (live) Columbia (USA) 38-77847 stVG++/NM 5
(1995. A-side's from Greatest Hits LP, B-side's from the "Unplugged" session.)
DWAIN STORY - Love Of A Clown/A Little Lovin' Stallion (USA) 1001 VG++ 20
(Dreamy guitar-rock garage-a-ballad, not earlier than 1965. Clear traces of Buddy Holly/Bobby
Fuller sound, so I might have guessed TX... but probably not; Mr. Story was managed by same
people that handled Lovin' Spoonful and The Turtles. Tiny TOL.)
STREAKERS - Streakin Pt. 1/Pt. 2. ABC 11430 NM 4
(1974, exploito-psych with a chunky, 'legit' sound. Rhythm section sounds like the ROLLING
STONES.)
SUNSHINE REIGNS - Laura (Is The Girl)/Acelia Dulfin MBM (USA) 1946 VG++ 50
(Drifting teen-psych about gurls, prominent organ. If it makes sense to say "loner/outsider" in
connection with teen/psych, that's what this is. Very faint, evanescent feeling of lostness,
barely noticeable... There seems to be a bit of buzz around this record, but I'm not confident
everyone will "get it". Recommended to fans of Guitar Ensemble.)
JUSTIS TARMAR - Jesus Made Me Higher/May The Circle Be Unbroken Abnak (USA) 152 NM- 5
(Promo label. Yellow vinyl. 70's sound orch-pop, Paul Buckmaster/Neil Diamond style. Michael 
O'Martian involvement. Flip's a gospelly hootenanny rave-up.)
TEMPTASHUNS - Strawberry Man/Sexy Ways Lemco (USA) 878 @VG+/VG++ 40
(1964, Kentucky. Atmospheric, echoey, moody uptempo instro, lead organ and a short guitar
break. Flip is pretty convincing blue-eyed frat-rock soul. Later reissued on Federal as
"Pretty Ways".)
TERRY & THE TOPICS - Where's My Pussycat/Just A Gigolo Coral (USA) 62509 VG++ 50
(Gogotheque instro: horns, some chuggin' B-3, long guitar break. Apparently, it's a popular spin
among yer Mod-type of disc jockeys. I liked the b-side a lot better, frat-rock version (w/
vocal) of 30's standards. If I were dj.ing in clubs, I'd probably play the hell out of it.
Manship has this at 50 GBP. Screw'im.)
TERRYS - Wake Me 100 Years From Now/Never Never Land Rik (USA) 101-64 stVG+ 4
(WLP. Kitschy top-40/country crossover with Winchester Cathedral moves, and B-side is... um...
get this... country-pop/flower-psych. Sorta purty. Harlan Howard songwriting credit.)
B J THOMAS/TRIUMPHS - Never Tell/ Bragg (USA) B-103 NM 15
(1966. Blue-eyed soul/beach music, lotta horns. Flip's a teen-death song, updated to include
Vietnam War.)
JUDY THOMAS - A Little Bit Of Happiness/I Don't Know You Tower (USA) 131 NM-- 7
(Nondescript, dull radio-pop. Joe South songwriting and production.)
ROYSTON THOMAS - Mommy Said/ Imperial 66446 VG+ 5
(Promo label. Flowerpop melodrama about a busted-up family, sorta like "You Better Sit Down,
Kids". Pret-ty bathetic. Theremin during the chorus?)
THYME - Love To Love/ Bang (USA) B-546 NM 15
(WLP. Pop/psych-pop with some Byrds moves, comped on Mindrocker V. 5. Songs credited to Neil
Diamond and Stookey/Yarrow. Flip's a weird one about the second coming of J C.)
(KEN) TOBIAS - Dream #2/ Quality (CAN) MV 10681 VG+ 5
(Orchestral folk-psych, seriously overproduced but still kinda interesting... like a genuinely
hippie Oliver. B-side is a bit more rockin', bluesy moves...)
TOBIAS - I Just Want To Make Music/ Quality (CAN) MV 10692 stVG++ 5
(WLP. Ballad b/w rocker. A bit overproduced but still kinda interesting... Small WOL.)
J J TOBIN - You Name It (I'll Do It)/Dancing To The Beat Of My Heart 
Claridge (USA) 310 VG++ 15
(WLP. Pounding beat, handclaps... Northern? Hutch Davie involvement. RSOL.)
TOW-AWAY ZONE - Searchin'/Shabd Epic (USA) 10369 VG++ 20
(WLP. California band, 1968? Surprising album-style heavy-psych. Topside's a Leiber & Stoller
tune updated into psych-funk for some exploitable novelty value, and the flip is real-deal
loud & trippy guitar-psych. Larry Goldberg, Leo Kulka involvement. RSOL.)
TURNAROUNDS & STINGERS - Salt N Pepper/ De Ville (USA) DE-133 @VG+ 18
(Crude, echoey early-style gymnasium frat-punk. Did I say "crude"? Vocalist kinda sounds black
on B-side, poss. black-rocker, but I'm doubtful.)
TURNING POINT - Make Your Own Sunshine/ Office (USA) 11101 VG+ 6
(South Carolina label. Uptempo 60's AOR; energetic but bland. Flip is a kinda-jazzy kinda-r&b
take on Merle Travis standard. HARRY DEAL involvement.)
2 OF CLUBS - Walk Tall/So Blue Is Fall Fraternity (USA) 975 stVG 4
(1966, 2nd of 5 45.s by Cincinnatti gal duo. Vance-Pockriss tune, had recently been a hit for
some soul artist. Punchy, measured thud of a beat, Spector-into-Motown production. Possible
northern-soul appeal.)
TWO PEOPLE - You're Gonna Hurt Me/ Liberty 55916 NM 5
(Promo label. Orchestrated pop with m/f vocals, very FAINT intimations of L A folk-rock stylings
buried deeply below the surface.)
VANITY FARE - Early In The Morning/ Page One 21027 VG 3
('68? Garage-y pop-psych without the psych... and without much garage. If the Monkees had been
talented amateurs who had access to a harpsichord...)
V/A - Free Speech Carols FSM (USA) 1 @VG++ 12
(1964, Berkeley. Similar to the Rag Baby EP.s, topical songs relating to Mario Cuomo, the Free
Speech Movement, pre SDS, and their conflicts with Uni authorities. Rewrites of traditional
Christmas Carols, with scathing satirical lyrics. Comes with original rubber-stamped sleeve
but does not have lyric insert. I know a place where you might be able to get a xerox...
Straight-up folk, not electrified; listed on this page for its proto-hippie historical
interest.Tear on label.)
VELVET CREST - Look Homeward Angel/ Harbour (USA) 303 @VG+ 5
(1969. Sweet strings-n-horns pop a la Vogues... Sandpipers... not quite as adult-pop as
Lettermen...)
VICTORIANS - Lovin'/ Arnold J (USA) 571 VG 3
(1968, WLP. Horn rock of the worst kind.)
WALKER BRO.S - (Baby) You Don't Have To Tell/ Smash 2048 VG+ 3 
(bbh)
WALKER BROTHERS - Best 4 Vol. 4 EP Philips (JPN) SFL-3177 VG+/VG+ 15
(Dylan/Cannibal & Headhunters covers on side one, moody-baroque Walker Brothers sound on side
two. No insert.)
WARFIELD COUNTY - What Do You See In Marvin?/ Odax Records OD 417 @VG+ 3
(Pop/garage with horns. COH, looks VG+, one side plays NM.)
WAYFARERS - Monday Morning/Ticonderoga RCA 8152 VG++ 4
(Folk-movement thing, banjos and choral singing. With SEAN BONNIWELL.)
JOYCE WEBB - Sing A Rainbow/The Last Time Warner Brothers (USA) 7048 VG+ 5
(Baby-voice folk-psych b/w baby-voice top-40 pop-psych. She turns up on soul lists, though, she
recorded for Ric Tic? Okay, whatever... BBH.)
WENDIGO - Gimme Some Lovin' P. 1/P.2 Scepter (USA) 12211 @VG++ 30
OR WLP WOL VG++ 25
(Frat-rock/funk hybrid that ROARS outta your speakers. Pounding drums and insane space-rock
organ fills, absolute killer stuff. Long-ish electric sitar solo at beginning of B-side. If
only it were on a private label... and wasn't a cover of such a played-out song...)
NEW!! 6/16 BILL WENDRY & THE BOSS TWEEDS - Trying To Get To You/When He's Home
Columbia (USA) 44825 NM 40
(WLP. Teen-group Hendrix action with pop-moves and horns forced into the mix. Flip is maybe
Dylanish instead-a Hendrixy? It pounds and it's loud, but it still has those horns...)
LESLIE WEST - Don't Burn Me/ Phantom (USA) 10301 VG+ 2 
(Promo label. 1975. Atmospheric hard-radio-rock, pretty atmospheric and listenable.)
MACK WHITE - Wild Wild Man/ ABC 11355 VG++ 3
(1973, promo label. Letter-perfect blue-eyed imitation of blaxploitation era funk-soul... and on
the flip a limp sub-Elvis country ballad. Label wear, clean surface.)
WHOZZITS - She Just Might Be A Boy/Do What You Wanna Do Soft (USA) 984 NM- 10
(Smirky doofus pop; B-side's a bit better, guitar break in the middle makes them seem a bit
more serious.)
WICHITA -Amelia Trestle/Home Song Westpark (USA) 6970 stVG++ 10
(Promo label. Boogie-roots-Creedence sound b/w sensitive hippie acoustic-folk tune.)
HANK & LEWIE WICKHAM - Little Bit Late/ Starday (USA) 9119 @VG+ 6
(A-side's a live track, kinda talking-blues/novelty inspired. Flip's a bossa nova. Duo "well-
known" for having put out a rather scarce hippie-folk LP, but this one really sounded like
straight country to me. Well, QUIRKY straight-country.)
LADY WILDE (& WARLOCKS) - Another Year/Poor Kid ARA (USA) 1915 NM OFFERS
OR VG++ OFFERS
(1965-66, earliest chapter in the Moving Sidewalks/American Blues/ZZ Top story. Rocky & Dusty
Hill, Frank Beard, pre-MOVING SIDEWALKS. A-side is country-rock/pop, sounds like Petula Clark
fronting the Tennessee Three. Flip sounds like Petula Clark fronting the Tony Hatch Combo. 500
copies pressed, and this is said to be a higher-end rarity, but it ain't because-a the music.)
WILL-O-BEES - It's Not Easy/Looking Glass Date (USA) 1583 VG++ 8
(HUGE-sounding moody-garage-pop slickness. Horns on the flip, but A-side rules. Shorty Rogers
involvement, Mann & Weil songwriting.)
BOBBY WOOD - Break My Mind/ MGM K 13797 NM 5
(Late 60's country-rock with wah-pedal & horns, flip is soothing countrypolitan with big string
section.)
STEVE WRIGHT - Back To The City/ Thunderball (USA) 136 NM 7
OR stVG++ 5
(Moody, mid-60's pop-psych with big, echoey production, certain amount of a Walker Bro.s/Jim
Webb vibe.)
MIKE YAGER - The Invader/ King 6211 VG+ 4
(Elvisy country-rock and country-pop. Promo label.)
(HELEN YOSHIKAWA/ROGER PHILIPP) - Next Fool National Songwriter's Guild (USA) no # VG++ 50
(1968? VERY likable garage-pop with some blatant Everly Brothers moves. Unknown FLA combo of
studio hacks... but they got it right on this one. May include Bob Quimby(piano), Jim Matherly
(gtr) and/or Dick Egan/bs. Or maybe not. ACETATE-ONLY songwriter's demo from song-poem related
studio.)
PIA ZADORA - Rock It Out/ Alfa (JPN) ALR 770 NM/NM 5
(No date. Synthesizer & power-chord AOR/hair metal. Big beat, glossy production... diva rock,
y'know? Flip side is an orchestrated mushy ballad.)
ZANIES-Million Miles To Paradise/ Dore 979 stVG++ 3
(1982, promo label. Uptempo, novelty-tinged country rock with jugband/skiffle flavor. This is
the same band that's been active since @ 1958?)
ZEITGEIST - I Want To Walk To San Francisco/(Herein Lie) The Seeds Of Revolution
RCA (USA) 9852 VG+ 5
(Promo label. With such richly promising titles, imagine my dismay on discovering that both
songs were taken from a Broadway musical. Oh, well. Flowery B'way pop with electric piano 
and harpsichord.)
ZODIAC - X Rated/Then Goodbye Uni (USA) 55138 @VG+ 7
(Promo label. Flowerpop novelty with banjo b/w fluty ballad. Apparently has been sampled or
something. Whoop.)
ZOO - Sea Cruise/esiurC aeS Chivalry (USA) 1801 VG 7
(Throbbing, bassy lo-fi version of 50's rocker with lotta lead organ, kinda fun. Flip has the
instro tracks backwards, with the vocal unchanged.)
ZOO - Walkin' In The Country/Blues For Deanna Chivalry (USA) 1802 P FREE
(Completely hippie-ish boogie-shuffle. Skips like a motherfucker, 20 problem-spots per side.)
ZZ TOP - Gimme All Your Lovin'/ Warner 7-29693 VG++/NM- 3
