Very much like the below mentioned Sweet 45 this here muscular rocker has a rather wimpy bubblegum A side called “Hugger mugger mummery” which upon searching I guess has been on a few bubblegum comps. But this song here is a pretty good trippy rocker complete with massive fuzz guitars and a monster guitar solo that sounds nothing like the A side. And while it does still retain a certain pop sensibility and even a little bit of a soul vibe overall this is a real rock job! It looks like they had a few more 45’s on the Fontana label but there wasn’t much else I could find out about them but since I found this 45 it has been in constant rotation around the devil lair! Kinda sounds like a souled out version of a lost Blue Cheer track!!! Dig In!!!

Whenever I pull out this single I always play the Hugger Mugger side. Thanks for reminding me that the other side is pretty killer and what an insane guitar solo!
