I bought the 45 a few months ago from a guy who found it in a thrift store. I have not been able to locate any members as yet. It sounds like it was recorded over a payphone. Like the Young Souls on C.A.V.U.

What are the titles of the songs? Can they be heard somewhere?
New Generation - But I Love Her So
New Generation - Love
Footnote: These are not BFTG-ravers but teen weepers: which I love

I'm glad that I'm not the only one. Personally, I am amazed (impressed) with how well the Tremors perfected both extremes on one 45!

I wonder if that's the right way to go about it. A great song is a great song. This is probably why so many killer folk-rock sides only got a 3 or 4.
Oh well, the rating score is the least interesting part of TBM for me anyway.

Don't know if it has been pointed out yet but in the pdf, the catalog number for the first Bitter Sweets single "Cry Your Eyes Out" is listed as Hype 1001 where the 45 label shows L-102

Yes, that has been corrected already, thanks.
A couple collectors contacted me thru the TBM website and were nice enough to send me missing / unrated tracks. I auditioned each one and roughly half are TBM worthy, so we will have another rating session ready to start in a day or so.
I never knew that there were two released versions of "Midnight Hour" by ? & The Mysterians. The original is the "96 Tears" B-side on Pa Go Go, it was released as well on Cameo. However, some Cameo pressings use a re-recorded version, has louder organ and a different lyric in the opening verse. Probably recorded for the 96 Tears LP. As I only have the original "Midnight Hour" version on my Cameo label "96 Tears" 45, I will need to investigate as how to visually identify the variants, if possible.

But I Love Her So scored the highest tally out of all the songs from this past session.
The group is proving difficult to track, hopefully not another Gnomes example!
It's just amazing that after 40-50 yrs of diggin' there are still great unheard teenbeat records to be find.
