After spending way too much time clipping loud clicks and pops out of a full Lp side, I'm all out of patience, if I had much at all to begin with.
Cry (Over Her) (1966)
Here's a fabulous fucking big ticket item that I for some reason own and paid a pittance for many many years ago. (Super cheap because the record is actually cracked but still perfectly aligned so it doesn't make a lot of noise.)
It's by the Malibus from Cranston, Rhode Island and while the A side gets all the glory and compilation space, I do have a large soft spot for the Zombies...errr...inspired flip "Leave Me Alone" which bears absolutely no copyright infringing resemblance to the Zombies "Leave Me Be" They were just fans.
You (1966)
This one by the Maltees Four has been comped a few times. Here it is in its pure unfiltered form. It jangles along nicely. The only real solid thing I could find on the interwebs as to their origins is that they are alleged to hail from La Puente, California before being swallowed by the mists of obscurity.
I can only assume it's really fucking rare because it's never been sold on Discogs and Popsike doesn't even show a single listing for it. Which is really strange considering how much this kind of stuff tends to change hands among collector scum.
Who knows, I paid like seven bucks or something or it back in the 80s..
