Description

Marlin 16008.  Tighter/ Young Enough To Cry.  Promo.  I found a brief write-up about who this band really was.  You can read about it in the next paragraph.  A visual grade of the 45 is between VG+ and VG++ with light surface wear.  See the last photo for surface condition.  A play grade is VG++.
Label: Marlin Year of Release: 1967
When bands emerged in the sixties with names like "The Guess Who" or "The You Know Who Group", the management and label responsible were usually hoping radio programmers and the general public would be suckered by the idea that it was The Beatles or The Stones in disguise. Usually, the story was blander and simpler, and behind those vague monikers lay hungry musicians or producers desperate for a hit. 
On very rare occasions, though, there would be famous people behind the record, and lo and behold, here we have a bona-fide example of that. The Unknowns consist of Mark Lindsay and Keith Allison of Paul Revere and The Raiders collaborating with friend and non-top 40 recording artist Steve Alaimo. The individuals all met while Alaimo was musical director on the television series "Where The Action Is", and began to scheme about the possibility of putting some of The Raiders' lesser known LP tracks across to a wider audience.
