In The Trashcan
Records GARBAGE181
"When iron butterflies can fly, all is possible on a
sunny day. I'll show you the way to the old times..."
It's definitely 70s and they came from Germany but that's about all I could find. The song starts backwards. Fuzz guitar breaks and mid-70s beat are the main ingredients of this quasi-instrumental song. They ask you a dozen time whether you are ready or not and then when you flip over the single, they ask it all over again on part 2 of this silly guitar tune. Released on the Belgian label of Cardinal International.
Fuzz guitar on this sole release by Randy & The Holidays from 1967 on Hickory Records.
First released on the Falcon label and then issued by Roulette, both in 1967. A fast garage punk version of this classic by this Minneapolis outfit featuring David Rivkin, brother of Bobby Z who was the drummer of Prince & The Revolution. This was their second single; three more would follow on August.
B-side of "Hey Joe", this folk-rock tune from the state of Minnesota reminds me of The Byrds meets The Seeds in their "Future" days.
Two fantastic singles on Challenge are his legacy. "Buzzzzzz" is the ultimate fuzz guitar instro and can be found on several compilations. This is from his other single. Fuzz guitars, toughest Farfisa and a beatnik coolness was quite an unseen combination. I wish that in 1980 there was music like this.
And this is the flipside of this 1967 Challenge release. Guitar and organ crime jazz instro monster by Jimmy "Buzzz" Gordon.
Both sides were taken from their third album "Ball" from 1969. Blues rock from Southern California. See vols 131 and 182 for more tunes.
B-side of last single taken from the album "Ball" from 1969.
Fabulous instrumental B-side of "Catch us if you can" on Columbia in 1965. There's also the Epic single release which features "On the move" as flipside, which is a completely different instrumental. "On the move" can be found on their album "Catch us if you can", while "Move on" already appeared a year earlier in 1964 on the album "American tour".
Psychedelic soul? Great flipside to "Baloney", also written by singer-songwriter Barnes. Singing about the old times, just a decade active in show business. A 1970 Chess release.
Fratrock from 1964 by these Portland, Oregon heroes. Don Gallucci and Jack Ely had already left the band for Don & The Goodtimes and Jack Eely & the Courtmen. Released in 1965 on Wand. On vol 194 you'll find the flipside.
Was this really their only release? Great girl group from the US with this 1966 release, first on Sue and later also on Discostar, Sparton and Stone.
Dutch popsike band I hardly know anything about. On the flipside you'll find "Lulu". Released on Delta in 1968.
Blues rock outfit from Los Angeles formed around ex-The Leaves Bobby Arlin. Their finest moment was their first single "Plug your head in". A 1969 Uni release.
A-side of "In the crowds". It gives you everything but a soul experience.
Randy Little wrote this garage pop song and with his Holidays he recorded it in 1967 for Hickory Records. Promising single.
