THE CHANTELLS - Break-Down (Century)

Cool Punky SlopOn the rare Century label, here come the CHANTELLS outta Virginia with a boss lookin' label. And they go wild! Flip is a nice moody thing.

THE MONTEREYS - Very Last Day (Sahara)

Folky Garage Ballads

Right from the hands of PP&M comes this melodramatic but classy folk tune. New York band that also waxed the ultra-cool "I'll be Around" in 1965.

THE SWINGIN' YO YO's - Have You Ever (Jubilee)

Fab Moody Beat Winner
Excellent work on this uncomped 45. A great melody line and enough punch to keep it away from mainstream pop/rock slick. Reminds me on the BOMPERS 45 that's also on this blog. Flip is cool, too.

THE MEMBERS - Jenny Jenny (Label)

Great Hot Frat

Pretty tough St. Petersburg, Florida disc that kicks mucho ass!

THE MONKEYMEN - Mojo (QQ)

Cool New Mexico FratCool and uncomped Frat sounds on this desirable New Mexico label.

THE BONDSMEN - [Acetate]

THE BONDSMEN - Untitled Moody Instro
Way cool unissued Instro moodiness on this acetate that was identified by a cavemannish pal as the Bondsmen from NC, who recorded for Justice Records. The flip is a good Garage Beat tune called "Little Girl".
