Might thy aural newbies tickle my eye

Wow - I thought it was hard to look like s**t in the 60's heheh
I used to have the french one but sold it many moons ago - it did have a group pic I seem to recall... in b/w. But it's years - a coupla decades probably(!) - ago.... I also had the Swedish cover vesion by Science Poption, but sold that one aswell as I frankly never really liked the song. Great fuzz break though. I think 'Why Can't I' is 100 times better...

oh happy days over here: two personal biggies knocked off the list.

Oh yeah, that Rogues 45 is fantastic. One of my favorites.

I picked up a bunch of 45s at my local record swap yesterday. There are 4 for whom I haven't been able to find any information. I'm going to present label scans and mp3s here in the hope that someone can tell me where they are from & when they were released.

The first is:

Dead End Kids - Land Of A Thousand Dances

This may be 1968 or so. The fuzz guitar solo is very long.

Next is:

Little Roy and The Legends - First And Only Love

Roy & Legends - First And Only Love.mp3

 

[Rich Strauss]

Next is:

The Common People - Life's Great / Wonder What I'm Living For

Common People - Life's Great.mp3

And the flip which seems to carry the opposite sentiment

Common People - I Wonder What I'm Living .mp3

 

[Rich Strauss]

Finally:

The Personals - Dance All Night

Personals - Dance All Night.mp3

This is a Rite press. From Buckeyebeat's excellent Rite listing, I see that it is from 1965. No location listed, however.

 

[The Swyne]

Cool tunes!

I like the label on the Common People 45.

 

[The Swyne]

I remember hearing that Personals track on a old garagepunk.com forum comp.

This one sounds much better.

 

[legbarecords]

Never heard any of these but I sure do appreciate you posting them cause I really dug the last three. The first one seemed to ring a bell, like I'd heard it before but I think I was confusing it with a Canadian cover of the same song.

Finally:

The Personals - Dance All Night

The PERSONALS were from Wooster, Mass. I've talked to the guitar player and he's been trying to find a tape of 8 original tunes from 64-65. Hope he finds them...The 45 was from 1963.

I've heard they were from Illinois but don't hold me to it.

 

[Frantic]

Next is:

Little Roy and The Legends - First And Only Love

Probably Louisiana.

No, "Dance All Night" was not from 1963. It was pressed and issued May, 1965

They were not from Wooster, either. They were from Sutton, Mass.

i have a dub of some of their songs which I got from a member over 12 years ago.
Sorry D man, lol!

It may be 1965, but the guitarist told me 1963. He said they were from Wooster. And it was recorded in Wooster. So he says.

 

[Frantic]

Just talked to Mike G....He said it was recorded in late 1963 and it took them 1 1/2 years to get it on their own label. Even though he told me they were from Wooster, now he says 2 of them were from Sutton, one from Wooster, one from Shrewsbury, but they mostly played in Wooster. He told me Wooster because it was their base of operations. The unreleased songs were recorded at AAA Studios in Boston. He was later in a band called MASS COMMONWEALTH.

Isn't this band from Dallas, Texas?

Also, I'm not sure if it was just my computer actin' up, but I believe both clips were of the song "Tell Her".

Thanks for sharing either way!
