They also had another 45. Neither really does much for me.

Along with the Cavemen, The 2-sided killer Young Tyrants 45 represents the cream of the '60s garage crop released on Fine and its associated labels. Mastertapes were found, with alternate versions of both sides of the 45, and a couple of other interesting but less essential out-takes. Only 2 copies of the 45 were found, both vg condition. Earlier raids on the studio remains had removed a large quantity (at least 50 copies) of the 45, which were snapped up by a hungry collector community in the 1990s (I believe). Both titles show the trademark exclamation which was undoubtedly inserted by studio owner Vince Jan. Check out how many Fine 45s feature this exhortation to excitement which perfectly reflects Vince's style, and ambition.

Here's some "first hand info" on The Young Tyrants 45 (if you haven't heard it already)... Back in 1986, guitarist Carl Lundquist had come up with a box or two of the 45. He apparently had gotten wind of how big a classic the record had become and appeared on "The Boss Beat", a local show aired every Sunday that featured garage, psych, etc. I was in the studio the day he showed up. I remember The Bop Shop here in town (Rochester) acquiring a bunch and selling them for what I believe was a fair price back in the day. $10 I think. Here's the story about the bathroom: I had gone to San Diego to visit my brother and phoned my girlfriend (at the time) and asked the usual. She told me how she had gone to see the Chesterfield Kings that weekend and then explained how "that guy from the Young Tyrants" was selling copies for $2 apiece. She got me two or three, one which he gladly autographed. I guess he made his way into the men's room as well hoping to expand business. This is not bullshit. It is in fact a true story. I have only one copy left (the autographed one naturally), but I'm sure I got a bunch of cool stuff in trade for them.

Hello,
I'm reaching out regarding your forum post about the Eddie Banks acetate. I know this message was posted a while ago but I figured it worth a shot to respond. Eddie Banks was my father and I've been attempting to track his music for a while now. Might you still have the recording of No Mon No Fun and You Asked Me. He used to sing those songs to me when I was a child. My email address is included - [email protected]

Hi kylerb - I didn't find any recordings by your father, however someone here may be able to put you in contact with Mr. eargasm (Paul) who used to be a forum regular here a few years ago. If he still knows the whereabouts of the acetate, I am sure Paul would share that information with you.
Hi bosshoss and thanks for the reply. Hopefully someone connected with Paul might read this post. I was extremely excited to stumble upon this thread about my father's music. He passed when I six, so I did not have much information about his life as an artist. I recently learned that in the 1950's, he was signed to Columbia records and worked with quite a few legendary artists during that time. Thanks again for getting back to me.

Paul has been contacted. We'll see what happens from here. Fingers crossed.
