Rampart Records songwriter Chick Carlton has a number of songs featured here including the Sunday Funnies' Whatcha Gonna Do (When The Dance Is Over) (Chick also wrote A Pindaric Ode for the Sunday Funnies Night) and Craig Nuttycombe (later of Lambert & Nuttycombe) who recorded a bunch of singles and an lp on Uni called The Tiger and the Lamb in 1967.įor those Standells fans out there, there's also Las Dilly Sisters, young sisters covering Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White with cartoon-ish voices. The East Side Kids were a favorite of sorts in the Sunset Strip scene in LA which at one time or another featured Jimmy Greenspoon (later of Three Dog Also, Larry Tamblyn produced the East Side Kids' Listen To The Wise Man. The Atlantics' Home On The Range and Beaver Shot include a very young Barry White and Larry Tamblyn from the Standells. Instead of The Village Callers' Evil Ways or Hector, we get their sublime take on Joao Donato's The Frog.
