Hello to all. I was digging around in some boxes of 45's and found a few that might stir conversation and bring some enjoyment to you. If you have any information about the groups featured please share.
After the break up of the Bad Seeds in 1966, the group's lead vocal and rhythm guitarist Mike Taylor went on to released two records on the J-Beck label. "I'm Nobody's Man" is from his first solo record in early 1967.
I'm Nobody's Man
The Scavengers were from the Lexington, Kentucky area . In the summer of 1966 the group released their only 45. Top Dog records was located in Louisville, Kentucky. Other notable groups like The Mersey Beats USA and the Rugby's also released 45's on the Top Dog record label. Both sides of the record have that cool mid 1960's sound. If you look closely there is a typo error on the "It's Only So Long" label. It's is misspelled If's.
I Don't Need Her Now
It's Only So Long
There were several bands that called themselves the Minutemen in the 1960's. The Minutemen featured today were from Arlington, Virginia. The A side of the record "Why Do I Cry" is well known and has been included on various compilation albums. I would like to highlight the lesser known song on the B side "One Last Kiss". It is a really nice teen ballad.
One Last Kiss
Little is known about The Depoe Drifters. The record was released in 1969. I like "Sweet Sweet Love"

Ernie Padilla and the Way-Outs (Music)
Ernie Padilla and the Way-Outs were from Santa Ana, California. In the summer of 1966 the group released their only record. Both songs on the 45 were written by Ernie Padilla. Very cool record.

The Islanders ( Jewel)
Here's a nice 45 from 1972 by a group called the Islanders.This is not the same group that recorded a string of instrumental hits in 1959 -1960. Both songs on the record were penned by Ron Baynum. The A side "Time" has a slight Grass Roots "Let's Live For Today" sound. It's very good but strangely it never charted.
