It's the Oncomers - You Let Me Down, released in 1963

It's listed in TBM and I have a copy although i have not played it in a long time.

This recently sold for $500 on one of the FB groups, pretty sure it's new to me but I wouldn't go over 5 rating wise, what ya think?

I completely agree. It’s in the 4 to 5 range in my opinion.

 

[MopTopMike]

Len and Glen did the original version, on Columbia.

Sounds like the same backing track as the Pat and Lolly Vegas recording - their vocal is better than the gonad pinched sounds of Mr. Dominico. The P&LV version goes for 20% or less than 500 clams. Some sucker...er...'forward thinking DJ' probably has no clue about this (and the Len and Glen version which I dig)

 

[Al.Burnett1966]

I agree, it does sound like the same backing track.
If the label P & L Records stands for Pat & Lolly, which seems likely, they might be involved in the making of the record

Yeah the vocals on this version are by far the weakest thing about it

I am the one. Heard it for the first time and loved it. I did not pay $500, but did a trade for some UK singles. Have since heard Pat & Lolly and yes that one is the superior version

I prefer the amateurish melodrama of Michael Dominico's vocal over the polished LA studio-pop style of Pat & Lolly's

Here's a cool little video on the Pinoy scene. Some great pics and band names to investigate, all new to me. So far it's led me to a killer instro by RJ and the Riots - Fuzzed. Their whole album is on Spotify.

Now to check out The Electro Maniacs ( I presume this is Jose Mari and His Electro-Maniacs on Discogs), The Tilt Down Men, The Moonstrucks, Jungle Cats, The Dropouts, Eva and the Espionage, Lady Acoustics, not to mention the Kingsmen and Chosen Few.

 

[Al.Burnett1966]

There have been inquires about the Dutch Want Group. It's a bit of a strange story given their release on Artone, major label home to many Dutch beat 45's. In reality this is a private release by this band from Groningen a northern province of Holland. In 66 they brought over their own master tapes to Artone and had their 45 pressed. Nevertheless it remains a private pressing released in a very small quantity, thus being rare and sought-after, a lots of bucks item. Hope this info will shed some light on this near unknown Dutch 45.

I had a copy of that 45 a while back, and when I did some research on it I realised that it's not actually on the Artone label (despite the logo being on the sleeve), but instead just like you write, a custom press made by Artone/CBS Haarlem Special Products. All of those have a VR-*** catalogue number:

Fabulous 2 sider. The B side brings tears to my eyes, yes it is that good!

Does anyone know this song? Maybe "That Was Yesterday, Tomorrow Is Today". And I wonder if it really are the Nation Rocking Shadows.
