Description

Here we have a great copy of the debut single from the legendary/notorious Hammersmith Gorillas – You Really Got Me.
This raw and manic version of The Kinks' classic song is backed by the equally bombastic Leavin' 'Ome.
Later known simply as The Gorillas, these west London proto-punksters could most certainly kick serious ass.
Indeed, the website damagedgoods.co.uk describes You Really Got Me as "one of the most spectacular debut records of all time"!
The seller has owned this 45 from Day One. It has only been played a handful of times and is in excellent condition. Please note it is the original version, released in 1974 via producer Larry Page's (Kinks/Troggs) own Penny Farthing record label.
