The Centars could pass as a teenbeat band. Raymond Mara sounds kinda like the doofus guy at your local "mom & pop" hardware store.

Weird Turtle is certainly the side likely to get the most spins.

Good choice Dave. I've long had a penchant for these tight-rhythm, organ/guitar driven instros. Always refreshing to pitch one of these into a listening session and there's a good number of the them on the reverse sides of many teenbeat 45s.
Another 3K tinged disc is a 1961 waxing Joe Norris on SOM. The top deck is 'Son Of Mississippi', a segregationist counterblast to the Mississippi Freedom Riders. The flip is 'Rock On Out Of This World' a shuffle paced rockabilly number with a drawled vocal and ringing guitar. Reminds me a bit of Little Donnie Bowshier's 'Rock And Roll Joys' But definitely no post '64 teenbeat vibe to it.
Incidentally, The Fingermen sounds like a great band to see on a Friday night down at your local youth club!

That is not the Dovers. The pic is found on the Ernie & The Emperors facebook page.

When Rick Morinini and Tony Rivas quit the Dovers after the 2nd single, Randy Busby came from Ernie & the Emperors to play drums. Randy was a guitarist and bassist (could play either instrument). I spoke to Randy once, around 20 years ago ( he has since passed away). As for the photo, not sure if that is Randy on bass, but it is definitely not Rick or Randy on drums.
