Yeah, I just picked up a copy of the ...good review. Yeah, I just picked up a copy of the one you have - the Sunset re-release. They look and sound 1964 on the record, which considering "Dirty Water" was recorded late in the following year, says a lot about how drastically and fast paced were the changes in music and presentation from one year to the next. <br /><br />One of the best examples of that is the music that was on the Top 40 in 1966 while Jimi Hendrix was in England recording tracks from the "Are You Experienced" LP. Really a mind blower. <br /><br />But back to the Standells here - I agree with you - it's a fun diversion and that's about it. I knew from the song titles and the suits and ties and short hair that this was the tail end of the "teen dance" era of rock. It's a great snapshot in time and most surely dovetails with what the Kingsmen and Paul Revere and the Raiders were doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
