Bone Crushing! Love the distortion!!!

He gave me that record to learn 1:14 when my band backed him at a dance. He said the wailers played on one side and the sonics played on the other side.

joli!

Still have my 45

Why this side has not found its way into a Terintino film is a total mystery!!!???

I have a good picture of Mark on stage in the Crisco barrel.

I know its says they didn't release another record after this but I tried looking around on RUclips for more songs by The Statesmen, can find much but found 2 other songs by the name of "Look Around" and "Beachcomber" both from 1963 I wonder if this is the same group.

I have a 45 by Nancy Claire called "YES". Its pretty good!

From the year I was born! The cascade or Pacific Northwest sound has always been vibrant and evolving over the decades from the Sonics to Nirvana. the rest of the music world has paid attention.

Growing up in Seattle I saw alot of the NW Bands, enjoyed every one of them, then a co-worker introduced me to Merrilee and The Turnabouts - - everyone else became choice #2. My wife and I even spent our 1st anniversary at Pier 7o tav cause Merrilee and the band were performing there.

That’s my dad on the drums, I would love to find a copy of this 45. Thanks

Two interesting things about these two bands...The guitar solo by the player in the Dynamics, was eventually to become famous in Jazz circles in NYC...I am talking about Larry Coryell, whose blistering solo at age 19 was what made this particular tune so great...Also, Norm Sundholm, the bass player for The Kingsmen, eventually went into building amplifiers and speaker cabinets. SUNN equipment was initially made well-known by Jimi Hendrix, who wanted more power than he was getting from his original Marshall stacks!...However, the Sunn equipment did not provide the power Hendrix was looking for...so he stopped using SUNN, in the middle of 1968, and begged Marshall to juice up their amps--which they did. Noel Redding, the bass guy for Hendrix, retained his Sunn equipment.

Rockin Robin Roberts was a one-off talent!....He was found by the Wailers, spontaneously singing, while he was walking on a bench at the Puyallup Fair, around 1958. He recorded some classic sides with the Wailers, Little Bill and the Blunotes, and others too. For some reason, just as his fame was spreading throughout the NW, he joined the Marine Reserves, and eventually wound up in California in the mid-1960s, where he landed a job as a chemist of sorts, for Dow Chemical!...around 1967 or so, he was riding in a car with a few of his co-workers, when the driver of the car hit another car, head-on...the car burned furiously, killing Roberts and I believe everyone else in the car. Sad ending, for such a spontaneous talented guy. A story is told, that while he was drinking one night, in his Reserve uniform, at a club in California, he mentioned to a friend that he knew the tune being played on the stage, by some group...His buddy did not believe him--so Roberts jumped up on the stage, and proceeded to tear the house down, with his ebullient singing and stage moves!

Wow, you can hear the Roots of Northwest Rock in this song !

Nice cover of this classic.

I just want to correct any misinformation. Mark Lindsay did not use the line, "let's give it to em right now". Before the guitar solo, he sang, "Stomp Shout and Work It On Out!"

This song was supposed to propel them to stardom. Didn't happen. Still a beautiful song.

The backing was one of the lamer versions of The Wailers.

He was 27 when hedied.

Killer psyched up garage version of this overlooked electric Dylan classic!

was in high school when The Sonics first hit the air waves with The Witch, went to many dances they performed at, last time saw them live was 1973 at Seattle's Paramount Theater

I've had the pleasure of seeing the Zombies and they played this song. They were phenomenal. I've also had the pleasure of seeing Argent. They were incredible. Rod Argent is recovering from a recent stroke He has retired from touring, but not music.

The original Wailers had some serious talent...I ran out and bought their first album-on the Golden Crest label--that album was actually recorded in NYC!..I remember reading, as to how thrilled the guys were, to hear their version of Louie Louie being played on local radio, when they would be driving around!...I mean, those guys were only 17-18yo when they first broke out. That first album, IMO, did not have a bad cut on it!

Heard them do queen jane approximately. Cant find it anywhere

I remember the Frantics very fondly, their were a local Ballard band

Johnny and the Hurricanes imitator

Great cover.

Love the pics!

Saw them in a high school gym

THATS MY GRANDPA!! He would like to get in contact with you!!!

if memory serves me right, first Battle Of The Bands at the Seattle Center I went to, Don and The GoodTimes were one of the bands, this was after Jim Valley left the Viceroys and became part of the Goodtimes. I also remember Galucci playing the keyboard 1 handed off to his side while do step routines with the guitar players

the band was from north Seattle, I remember them playing school dances in school gyms and city park department rec halls- - by law only the schools could hold teen dances in Seattle, well you could but 50% of your gross when to the school district. that was before you paid the band paid hall rental etc. These guys had a big influence on my musical preferences

I remember hearing this when it came out, I was 12, this might be why my favorite bands always had at least 1 sax. Seems from about '57 into the mid 60's all nw (Washington, Oregon, Idaho) bands except The Ventures had a sax. These guys may have been the first Seattle band of note - - breaking Tacoma's monopoly

What memories! First heard this at te Lake City Community Club Friday night dances 1959. Wailers got booted out because they played too loud. Best thing that could have happened to them at that time.

Tough sax rocker🎉😊

Love it!

When I was with Don Blocker's (former Director of A&R at Liberty Records) TAP ~Talent Artist Productions~ in Hollywood, The Wailers were among our clients (promotions and record distribution for their Etiquette label). We introduced the band to producer/arranger Andy DiMartino ("Rhythm Of The Rain" -The Cascades, etc.) who became their record producer. Don's closest friend was Record Producer Snuff Garrett ("Run To Him"-Bobby Vee, etc.) who had also left Liberty Records and was currently the head of Clint Eastwood's Viva Records...thus, The Wailers eventually found themselves on Viva. Kent Morrell and Buck Ormsby often stopped by our Hollywood office and because I was also from the Pacific Northwest we found lots to BS about. The last time I crossed paths with Buck was at a tribute concert, in Ballard, for NW songwriter Ron Davies ("It's You Alone" -The Wailers, erc ). It was great to have a chance to reminisce with Buck again.

Yep it’s me

Cool hard rock n roll instrumental..great🎉😊

This looms large in the legend of a certain ekspatriate, AKA LALO. As Merle Haggard mused- Don't be afraid of bandits- don't believe what you've heard- there's plenty of outlaws in old California-- better fly south with the birds- You'll like it better wherever you go in Mexico. Love the energy and feel, Ned you were in your zone. Thanks for Posting, Ned. GREW AND BREWED IN THE PNW

This is wonderful--both the song and accompanying video. Thank you so much for sharing it!!

This is why I subscribe

Some digital sound media kills the back sounds that you only get with an analog recording.

I love the now lost and forgotten northwestern music scene of the 50s-80s.

A number of different stories about how Ron Peterson & The Accents evolve into the Bellingham Accents. The one I heard, from the people at Jerden Records, was that their records were released during the "British Music Invasion" and owner/producer Jerry Dennon just felt that "Bellingham" had a British sounding "flavor" to it and people outside of the Northwest wouldn't know the difference & might deduce they were an British band. (Hopefully radio station Music Directors!). The band eventually evolved into the Bellingham band, The Unusuals. The photo at 1:57 includes the blonde Kathi McDonald of The Unusuals. (Check out her later career all over RUclips). The Unusuals had a garage band classic with their "I'm Walking Babe" with many covers by bands in the US and Europe and the inclusion on the soundtrack of 2 different European television series...1 in France and 1 in England.

Always loved this tune and this great teen rock 'n roll band out of Yakima, Washington. (Larry Coryell recently from the Tri-Cities, WA...at the time). If memory serves me right, that Dick Ruthardt on bass (from Grandview, WA) I went to highschool with songwriter and piano player Mike Mandel and we were good friends. Mike was a couple of years younger than I, but we had music in common ... so, we hung out a lot and he'd show me the latest rockin' piano hit he'd mastered. Mike is blind and a remarkable musician. Larry and Mike went on to much success in Larry's jazz-fusion band, The Eleventh House.

The Fabulous Wailers were THEE Northwest band in the '60's without a doubt.
