The Silencers

[ratfinkie]

I just read the obituary of Larry Weinberg. He was the drummer of a San Francisco band called " The Silencers". They released one 45 in late '66: "I Don't Care/ Blast Off". Band members included Weinberg, Norman Maslov, Kirk Dove, and the late Dany Walker. They evolved into "The Overnight Flight" and performed into the '70's. Does anyone have this 45?

I'd be interested to know the answer to this. Norman Maslov has a Youtube channel where he posts several videos a week. He's spoken about The Silencers and even played "I Don't Care" from his copy of the 45 on one of his videos. He said something about only three or four copies of the record being pressed and the copy he had looked a little like a test pressing. Does anybody know if a copy of the record is in someone's collection?

Here's the video in question. The guys were very young when they made the record.
