I'm tired and need to make coffee.
The Girl I Love (1965)
One of at least five different bands calling themselves the Lost Souls all at about the same time in different parts of the world.
Of special note is that this is NOT the Long Island band that foisted Billy Joel upon the world as a musician. This one is actually listenable.
This one was on Bang Records and as such like the Strangeloves probably didn't exist as anything but a studio creation of the producer looking to make a buck or two off unsuspecting teens. If either song had become a hit they'd have recruited some enterprising young men to impersonate the concept for a paying audience. It didn't so they didn't bother.
Too bad, the flip here "Simple to Say" is a nice garage number.
All You've Got (1967)
Here they're called the Lovin', but previous to that Children, after that the Nerve and finally Duffy Taylor Blues.
Here they make a nice Mod Pop racket for you and your Vespa.
Thanks so much for the Lovin' 45. I've been collecting garage and pop sike stuff for years now, and it's rare that something gets posted online that I don't already have. This is a new one. Can't wait to give it an electronic spin. I love your blog! We share a lot of common ground music-wise. In another life, you and I would have been college buddies who crate dived (crate dove?) on the weekends. Stay safe!
