Skip & The Creations - "Respectable" (1967)
Terrific cover of the Isleys-Outsiders rocker, speeded up and organ-ized.
Terrific cover of the Isleys-Outsiders rocker, speeded up and organ-ized.
quote:
Justice Records was a vanity label based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and run by Calvin Newton. For well under $1,000 a band could record an album’s worth of songs in 4 hours at a local studio, have a few hundred copies pressed with a b&w cover, and then maybe try to recoup their investment by selling copies at their gigs.
Skip and the Creations cut their Justice lp in 1967. They had a fan club based in Colonial Heights, Virginia, outside of Petersburg, According to the caption on the blurry photo on the back cover, band members were Skip, Walter, Brute, Jeffrey, Rick and Tommy. Someone has assiduously marked Jeffrey and Skip on all the photos on my copy, too bad they didn’t include the guys’ last names!
One source says MOBAM stands for “Makers Of Bad-Assed Music” which you may or may not agree with, but there are some fine cuts on this lp.

The Blendells - "La La La La La" (1964)
The Blendells were part of East L.A.'s vibrant Chicano Rock scene, along with The Premieres, Thee Midnighters, and Cannibal & The Headhunters. This soul-garage Stevie Wonder cover is a classic party record, perfect to get those moneymakers shakin'.
The band was together only briefly, as four of the members were drafted and sent to Vietnam.

The Juveniles - "I Wish I Could" (1968)
The Juveniles (this group that is -- many bands used the name) were from the DC suburbs of Maryland and released this one single. They were apparently yet another band forced to split up by the Vietnam War/draft.

The Swinging Blue Jeans - "You`re No Good" (1964)
TSBJ came out of the same Liverpool scene as The Beatles and The Searchers, with a similar harmony-oriented sound. They're little-remembered in the US even among British Invasion fans (they had only one minor hit here). But this great cover of Betty Everett's R&B standard of the year before (later made famous by Linda Ronstadt) deserves to be better known. It's a classic example of the Merseybeat sound even The Beatles would have been proud to cut.

Fickle Pickle - "Saturday" (1971)
English band that had some minor success in Holland, resulting in them getting to release an album there. One of the tracks was on it was this brilliant piece of baroque power pop, reminiscent of The Left Banke, The Move, and Emmit Rhodes.

Del Shannon - "Sister Isabelle" (1970)
The "Runaway" man updates his sound, with classic results. This should have been a monster hit, but undeservedly flopped -- perhaps due to the subject matter, in which the singer urges a nun to forget her vow to God and come shack up with him.

The Flower Pot Men - "You Can Never Be Wrong" (French TV, 1968)
John Carter and Ken Lewis, the writer-producers behind The Ivy League, continued their love of three part harmonies set to lush arrangements with tFPM. They had a huge UK hit w/"Let's Go To San Francisco" (the greatest Pet Sounds knockoff you'll ever hear), and this sunshine popsike followup is almost as good.
