Presenting the kings of that New Orleans rock & roll -- The Zoofs!
The Zoofs - "Not So Near" (1966)
A rather clunky stab at folk-rock, but with the garage never too far off in the distance. The song never goes beyond two chords and the band was apparently introduced to their instruments within the last month. Needless to say, I love it.
The song itself (the flip side of The Zoofs' only single) is actually quite a catchy tune -- some enterprising alt.country band should cover it.
But perhaps the most amazing thing about this lovably sloppy little record is that it was produced by Mr. New Orleans rhythm himself, the immaculate Allen Toussaint (!).
Maybe Allen is responsible for the Renaissance-style instrumental break that sticks out like a wonderful sore thumb.
Interviews with The Zoofs here
Anybody recognize these locations?

Phaethon's Brethren - "I Put A Spell On You" (1965-6?)
Well here's an intriguing little mystery: a magnificent cover of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins R&B classic, with some great organ and nice use of horns. Despite its brilliance this track was never released, and survives only as an acetate. Nothing else is known about the band.
