In 1966, my mother was temping as secretary at WPIX, which had both radio and TV stations. One day she came home with a handful of promo 45s that she passed on to me. This was one of them. Guess it didn't pass muster with the program director. I was only 6, but over the next several years I played it to death, literally wearing out the grooves. It's good to hear it again the way it's supposed to sound.
They played in Albany, NY at the U.T. in 1965. They were fantastic. Gary Parker, the drummer, ended the night with a long, long drum solo. He played like Keith Moon! There was some connect to the Strawberry Alarm Clock I heard...but can't confirm. Maybe a member of the great northeast band joined the Alarm Clock, not sure. Remember they had Incense and Peppermints. 1965 was out of this world cool in music and everything else. The chrome on the cars was thick, and life was peachy keen.

Seems to be a bottomless pit of cool and rare 45's on RUclips 😎
Its amazing how many good tunes there were which got overlooked!
This is what all the Power Pop from the late seventies and beyond was trying to emulate.
The tune is reminiscent of "That Thing You Do" by the Oneders. Wasn't their drummer's nicknamed ''Ringo'' too?
Amazingly beautiful sound!!!
What a beautiful record!
another good one.
