100% ORIGINAL 1965 (((MONO))) first rate garage stomp rocker ...

AS IT WAS... Any album that starts off with "uno, dos ,one, two, tres, quatro" …. cant be all bad … of cause we are talking about the garage stomp classic song "Wooly Bully"

One of the top fave garage-rock acts in the sixties, bar none, was Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs. They hit their stride in the post-Beatles era, invading the Top 40 with the likes of "Little Red Riding Hood," "Ring Dang Doo," "Ju Ju Hand," and their all-time monster from 1965, "Wooly Bully." Sam was part of what he called "the American Retaliation," (as opposed to the British Invasion), which also included not only the Byrds, the Lovin' Spoonful, and Bob Dylan, but also such deserving talents as the Bobby Fuller Four, the Sir Douglas Quintet, and Paul Revere & the Raiders. With the exception of the Byrds and the Spoonful, the artists named (along with Sam the Sham, of course) were around in the pre-Beatle era, but didn't really blow up until all the foreign bands started hijacking the charts. What was good about Sam was that he actually remembered life before the Beatles, and that pre-1964 rock wasn't confined to Bobby Rydell. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and all the rest had nothing on Sam‹he used to hang out with Freddy King and John Lee Hooker, and his albums contained covers of Blues gems like Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "Gangster Of Love" and Billy "The Kid" Emerson's "Red Hot." Sam and his Pharaohs also led a one-band Rockabilly revival, after that sound faded but long before anybody had anything to look back to (like "Ain't Gonna Move," which was the flip of "Wooly Bully," and "I Wish It Were Me," heard on The Best Of Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs on MGM). Plain and simple, Sam and company got over the hump playing greaser music when almost everybody else left it for dead (although Sir Douglas made considerable inroads doing the same kind of thing). Although he stresses that he has nothing against the Beatles and their kind, "I didn't sit in the back of the bus for nobody. When the Beatles hit, everybody was goin' British - except Sam. I was holdin' what I had." Every track ( to these ears) is listenable at the very least and some are great … once you get into the Tex-Mex garage rockin' groove, the music is infectious Best tracks:

• Wooly Bully – a classic of the genre – a must to cover for every garage or frat band. It was also a mega hit in 1965 – a year otherwise suffering under the British Invasion.
• Go-Go Girls – a direct influence of the Bo Diddley beat …. and a howler!
• Every Woman I Know ( crazy 'bout an auto) – insane lyrics
• Haunted House – more shock garage-rock!!
• Juimoinos – a great Tex-Mex melody with some chanting and cow bells (an inane dialogue) …. pass the tequila, please!
• Shotgun - more stompin and drinking would /should accompany this track
• Gangster of Love – the classic Johnny Guitar Watson track done even better!
• Long tall Sally – The classic … though here it sounds (in tempo and phrasing) more like the wild Elvis cover …. either way a great track and an acknowledgement to Sam's 50s roots and southern rock… by the time of this album the band was living in Memphis …
