Sounds exactly like 1974 to me, definitely not '65.

Vocalmasters is one of those cool mid '60s throwback type sounds. Heard it once a long time ago.
I'd give it a 4

It's got some '74 production touches, like on the bass and the drums but the essence of the song itself is not 1974.

I'm talking about the song itself - the structure, lyric, etc. not the vocals, instrumentation , harmonies.
I wouldn't call this power pop as there is no edge or crunch factor (jangle thru distorto Marshall amps), something power pop should have

Well, the Brit sounding lead vocal, and the crashing drum kit- sorry to offend you, I just thought it was an amusing 45, from 1974, and they obviously try to sound like they are from sometime in the 1960's, like a Herman's hermits or some smuck like crap. Most 1974 music does not sound like this to me, even obscure 45's by that time are much harder rock. I just pulled a date outta the blue, it did not have to be 1965- whatever. Power pop it is then, not garage (oh heavens lets not insult the Garage collectors...). Gonna go listen to Status Quo & Ducks Deluxe to wind down off of that big let-down.... anybody wanta buy that vocalmasters single and throw darts at it?

Granted...but I'm talking about the records that would primarily interest this Forum. I can't even imagine how many blues, soul, country, Motown, jazz, vocal, lounge, etc. releases there were combined in the '60s. I'm sure it's a pipedream, but it'd be nice if all the TBM-worthy records could be discovered and documented before I sail away forever...

I never get a Friday off work. This week I did. Packed up my son, a few records to swap and some sandwiches. Headed off to a forum members store a drive away. The wife said $50 for gas and vinyl was all we could afford, OK babe I said half grumpily, it is not often I spend real money on records.
So gased up and 12 miles out on route 60 WV. Two old mountain men selling junk on the roadside, a large box of 45's $10 the whole lot one says as I'm picking through. Lots of big label country, and gulp - Nervous Norvus' Transfusion and Ape Call, I had $7 cash on me so syphoned out 1/2 the box of the utter crap.
I still have to go through these properly but for now I'm happy with
Joe Bennet & the Sparkletones - Rocket ...so hot.
Bobby Charles - Why Can't You on Chess great R n' R.
Carried on our journey, did a little trading of interesting thrifted albums for a few common garage albums - Gentry's second and Sir Douglas Quintet first and a couple of comps. I should have informed the store owner I was coming his good garage is at home but i was in a whim.
Traveled on further stopping at a few likely places for some more 45's just before it was closing got inside a store and hiding there a little corner of 45's. Common garage stuff, falling on me, unplayed kind of clean. One of the last records I pulled out was -
The Brigands = Would I still Be Her Big Man on epic and so Minty looking with a 50 cents sticker.
Also scored Die Beatles on Swan
The Creatures - Turn Out The Light
The Vettes = Little Ford Ragtop
The illusions - I Know
Larry Bright - Mojo Workout on Tide
Carol & Cheryl - Go Go GTO
$16 for 20ish cool and mostly clean.
The store owner said you look very pleased with your purchases, yes I grinned back, you made my day.
The wife look irritated with the quantity of plastic I came back with. I can't tell her how much the Brigands is worth she wants to pay off the mortgage fast and is nagging me to sell my vinyl soul away.

Never sell your vinyl soul. I tried it and it did me no good. Congratulations on the Brigands score! Great 45, and also, thanks for the story.

I did it once too, to get to the USA. Way too much stuff to ship, sold 75%ish of my collection. My original garage stuff was shipped but my hoard of comps was distributed to some worthy youngsters who reminded me of myself at their age.

I found this interesting 45, thought it might be somewhat collectible, but as my research on the net progresses, it is said that this ispossible that this is actually a pirate/bootleg! It is vinyl, looks legal, but I have found info on a Led Zeppelin forum that this was pirated! How very odd! The deadwax has ST PR 269 & ST PR 268 etched. Even more unusual, I found it in a Goodwill, for .25! So, if anyone has any info on if this is real, or fake, please let me know. A Mint copy sold for 250.00 on ebay recently.... and I know NOTHING about 45's past 1970.....! OH- and it is misspelled as, "Haven" haha

I know nothing... but the flip sides song & band name is printed badly off centre!! I guess if they didn't notice the spelling mistake the centring is perfect.
