Reign Ghost - S/T

interesting & slightly weird record. The vox is a bit much for me at times. a bit too operatic... I like it when the male and felame voices pair up a bit more. Music is still pretty enjoyable. Some fuzzy guitar and nice keys. Guitarist Bob Bryden went on to play in Chiistmas. A band which i enjoy a lot more than this 1968 psych pop lp. Reign Ghost - S/T​It’s Great Shakes

Betty Ashman - Look Me In The Eye


Picked this up the local thrift recently. The A side is a pretty standard 70's sounding up tempo country tune, sorta meh. But this B side i really like in some weird way. I think it's the sort of out of tune doubling of the vocals. Kinda gives it a soulful 60's girl group sound. It's a little off kilter and odd.... I like it.

The Rocky Fellers - Ching-A-Ling Baby



Stanley Kahn discovered The Rocky Fellers, a pop/rock band in the 1960s, and signed them to Scepter Records. The group was composed of four Filipino brothers: Tony, Junior, Eddie, and Albert Maligmat, and their father, Doroteo "Moro" Maligmat. They had a hit single called "Killer Joe", written by Bert Russell and Bob Elgin in 1963. The song was inspired by famed dance instructor and "King of the Discotheque," Killer Joe Piro. It has many similarities to the chorus of the Mickey and Sylvia hit, "Love is Strange."

"Killer Joe" reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1963. They followed up with another Bob Elgin song called "Like the Big Guys Do". Among their other recordings was a Christmas novelty song, "Santa, Santa", written by a then-unknown songwriter, Neil Diamond. The Rocky Fellers also recorded another Neil Diamond song, "We Got Love" which is available on their LP, Killer Joe from 1963. The Rocky Fellers faded quickly from the music scene in the mid-1960s, due primarily to the arriving British Invasion bands.


This is none of the songs mentioned above....
