Storming
garage soul 45 out now on State Records!
State Records further
their reputation as the leading garage label du jour with this latest
release from The Missing Souls. It's the band's first for the label
but they already have a couple of 7” singles to their name along
with a self-titled LP on Dangerhouse Skylab Records. The band hail
from Lyon, France and have been together just under two years, in
which time their stuff has been well and truly got together. This
single recorded in-house at State's custom built studio is ample
proof at that.
Both tracks here are
covers. 'Sweet, Sweet Sadie' (originally by The Teardrops) centres
around a fuzz guitar riff with a Phillicordia organ solo that takes
the track into freakbeat overdrive. 'The Alligator' is a dance craze
track originally by The Us Four, driven here by punding drums and
complete with hand claps, a truly wild guitar solo and trademark
boy/girl vocals.
This is a record that
deserves to be played loud. A must have single for any
self-respecting garage 'n' beat DJ. Freakbeat a-go-go baby!
Limited to 500 copies
on monophonic black vinyl.
