Son of the Return of Yet More 60s Shite

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..

55 Miles and 6 Years Apart

It's a combo platter of combos from the New England area.

Hi-Beams (1981)

Hi-Beams were from Cranston, RI.

(This may be the first Rhode Island band posted. Be sure to mark it off on the 50 bands from 50 states sheet)

A side is called "Hyperactive".

It has nothing to do with Thomas Dolby. That wouldn't come out for another three years.

B side is called "White People" which is about as suburban as you can get.

Taken together this single would make a nice vintage New Wave ad for Ritalin.

Hackmasters (1987)



There's nothing to be found about this outfit.
Nothing is necessary.
It appears to be a one-off of some Boston music folks in other bands making with a Surf/Garage trip.


Good enough for me.
