The Iconoclasts (Larami Ltd)

Very little is known about the Iconoclasts. My best guess is the record might be from the 1963-1964 timeframe. The only letters/numbers in the dead wax are LM-4231. These are the same numbers that are on the record label. On side one the group recorded the song called "I Fell For You Baby (And Skinned My Knee)". It has a catchy beat. I notice that there are a few parts in the song that have unintelligible lyrics. This makes you wonder what was he trying to say. I guess this only adds to the uniqueness and mystery of the song. Side two "City Woman" is completely different. It has a calmer folk sound similar to that of the Kingston Trio. If anyone might have information about the band it would be appreciated.

  4. Very rare find, kudos!
    Your download links mention Iconoclast, not Iconoclasts. In fact, Iconoclast were a different band of the 70s.
    Keep up the awesome work!
