70s LOS ANGELES NORTHERN SOUL/MOD/GARAGE
ORIGINAL U.S. ISSUE
TWO WILD POUNDERS FROM SKY SAXON AND CO.
OVER THE FIFTY-PLUS YEARS OF IT'S EXISTENCE, THE NORTHERN SOUL SCENE HAS EMBRACED MANY MUSICAL STYLES, AND MID-60s U.S. GARAGE IS JUST ONE OF THEM; WHETHER IT BE THE POPULAR TEX-MEX OF SAM THE SHAM & THE PHAROAHS' "WOOLY BULLY", OR THE MORE OBSCURE ROLLING STONES-INSPIRED "STOP GIRL" FROM THE 7 DWARFS, IT HAS MANY FANS - PARTICULARLY AMONG MODS; THE SEEDS WERE ONE OF THE GENRE'S MOST IMPORTANT QUARTETS; STRICTLY SPEAKING THE SINGLE I HAVE UP FOR GRABS HERE IS A RAPID REISSUE, BECAUSE BOTH SIDES HAD BEEN PUT OUT SEPERATELY A FEW MONTHS EARLIER ON THE SAME LABEL (THE INITIALS OF WHICH STAND FOR 'GENE NORMAN PRESENTS); THE NOVEMBER 1965 RELEASE OF THE A-SIDE (GNP 364) HAD A SLIGHTLY LONGER TITLE - "YOU'RE PUSHING TOO HARD"; DESPITE BEING BANNED BY SEVERAL RADIO STATIONS FOR SUPPOSED DRUG REFERENCES (WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE INCORRECT), THE SONG ROSE TO A RESPECTABLE #36 ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100 IN FEBRUARY 1967; THE SLIGHTLY SLOWER "TRY TO UNDERSTAND" HAD INITIALLY BEEN THE A-SIDE OF THE SEEDS' THIRD SINGLE (GNP 370); WHILE IT IS NOT AS WELL KNOWN, I THINK IT'S AN EVEN BETTER MOD DANCER; BOTH SIDES WERE WRITTEN BY THE SEEDS' LEAD VOCALIST, SKY SAXON (HIS REAL NAME WAS A MUCH-LESS DYNAMIC RICHARD MARSH)
