What does that mean? Of course it does. And it's actually pretty good, too!

Surely you must know by now that a dickweed (name withheld) in the band says this 45 is a bootleg and was never released back in the day! And has it pulled everytime it hits the 'bay. I have a original 8x10 promo glossy of FRITZ (same band as SINCERELY, SAN JOSE) that MTM was going to use in his book but the dickweed in the band would probably sue, so Mike can't/won't use it. This D.W. has even threatened law suits in the past!!! And surely you must know that Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham were in this band. Oh yeah...they aren't the dickweeds I'm talking about.

So, is he unaware of the pressing(not uncommon) or is it really a boot?

no one seems to know, but it did come out in the late 60's. The songwriter says it is a current bootleg....WRONG:confused: and I'm not talking about Burt Bacharach

 

[bosshoss]

I don't like it.

 

[Frantic]

I don't like it.

but do you love it?

I've heard one side of the single and it isn't worth $82 to me.

Weird, I heard of this Javier blocking a reissue project a few years ago and it made no sense. Must've taken the same bad acid as Matthew Katz and the guy at Fantasy records or sumthin'...

It's "real". It was reviewed in Record World in 1968 as a pick hit. How could that have been faked?

It will go for a lot more than $82.

 

[MopTopMike]

It usually sells for $300-500, unless Javier has it YOINKED

usually they pick it off within the first 2 days. It might make it this time. I say $500+

It was mentioned in the following Billboard article from November 1970 as well:

:oops: I like it. Would somebody make a "real" bootleg, please?

 

[Phil Istine]

all this discussion has probably shot the price up no end! nice use of g45 in the title too.

this is the sort of 'garage' tune modern sixties clubs live for. though that middle eight really ruins the song imho.

 

[Frantic]

wow...that went cheap

[legbarecords]

Yeah, probably just a couple hard core Mac completists duking it out over this one. As mentioned above, if it stayed on path for the entire song some DJ would have likely dug deep for it but that middle part effectively kills the momentum of the song. I'm sure Mister Weed thought it was very clever when he announced to the other members at practice that he had written a bridge for the new song everybody was liking so much.

 

[beccabear67]

I know I like some bizarre sounds sometimes but really, the original side of it sounds fairly awful to me, I guess it's the curiosity value of it driving the price. This is garage? I thought they were trying to be the next We Five, Association or maybe Beau Brummels. But the harmony is plain sour and the songwriting is moronic in a not good way. It is uniquely bad I suppose, but bad is still bad; there's lots of half-baked doo-wop too but at least you get quality vocals. I have a few Fritz bitz and they are better, and maybe someday there'll be a collection of all of that stuff. I thought The Honeys sounded bad and had some awful songs too yet Brian Wilson fanatics praise everything they recorded...

I don't think this is nowadays '60s club sound (which I hate, simply speaking). It's folk-rock (plus female singer). And pretty solid at that. Great harmony vocals. The weed-induced middle-8 is typical for the genre and I love it for that. Only difference is the keyboard replacing the 12-string. It reminds me a lot of Rose Garden, Vejetables, Newcastle Five etc. Whatever you may think of those groups...
