    Traffic Sound - Peruvian band - Tibet's Suzettes - Technically, I think this was recorded in 1970 - This is a great band and all their stuff is worth hearing.

    I'm a huge fan of The Turtles, but I'm fairly sure that most people have never heard this flip-side called, "Think I'll Run Away". This song is very strange, even for The Turtles, who have released some really strange songs, but I find it impossible not to love this one, once it gets into it's trippy groove. I especially love the big build-up at the end of the song!

    Another '60's obscure song unknown by most, is this album track by The Critters on Kapp Records, "Come Back On A Rainy Day", filled with great harmonies ...

    Spooky psych from the Universals.
    By the way, these are nigh on impossible to find. Took me 5 years to track this 45 down...

    From 1964 on DOT, Robin Ward's, "In His Car". Robin, who's real name is Jackie Ward, later became a backup singer on many of the bubblegum era hits of The Partridge Family. Robin had one Top 40 hit, "Wonderful Summer" The producer on that hit and all of her "solo" records on DOT, actually sped her voice up, so she would sound like a young girl (even way back then, they would do whatever it took to make a song a hit). I find "In His Car", one of the most perfect and hugely unheard "car" songs ever and I would think that even Brian Wilson would have had to like it, if he ever heard it?

    This would have been a good follow up to "Get Together".

    An all-time garage classic. I didn't know about this song until about 1973, when a friend of mine who used to live in the D.C. area introduced it to me. I've had it in my repertoire ever since.

    I've since come to know others who lived in D.C. in 1966, and they all told me The Hangmen were absolutely huge then on the local scene, complete with screaming girls, etc.

    But you're right that this recording is actually by their predecessor band, The Reekers. There's a later rerecording of "What a Girl Can't Do" on the lone Hangmen album, and it's awful!

    "I Can See My Love" – The In-Sect


    Australian group who had a long career in cabaret, but moonlighted as a garage band, and quite successfully so, I'd say.

    Another I didn't come to know till later in the 1970s, when someone gave it to me on a cassette, unidentified. Took me years to track down who it was.

    P.S. I have no idea what the deal is with the accompanying video!

    One of the 2 on the thread I already knew. The whole thread will make good listening when I have a few hours to spare :)

    Another that was a hit but would make good listening for later generations is Master Jack

    Not an obscure tune, but a fairly rare cover. If I'm hanging with some Beatles' fans, I whip out this 45rpm from the legendary Lena Horne doing a funky B-side take on "Rocky Racoon" from 1969. It kills every time.

    +1 for the Hangmen, grew up in Northern Va in the 60s and loved them and still have the LP. Also, check out "Got to Have More Love" by Bobbie Howard and the Sweet for some more blue eyed soul as well as the cover of More, More, More of Your Love by Bob Brady and the Con-Chords from Baltimore.
