Probably the stupidest group name ever...
This record was given to me by a friend who often throws me his 'seconds', so I assumed the less than stellar sound of the record was a question of wear...
But since then, I've heard several other copies and they all suffer the same problems as mine. In fact, it turns out my copy is pretty-darn-good.
Too bad, as the arrangement is gorgeous...but there's not much that can be done about a lousy mix or an apparently shoddy pressing. Even the re-mastered/re-mixed version of the song on the comp, Calla Records: Soul of The Sixties, exhibits some of the same problems as most, if not all, 45 copies.
On the other hand, I could be totally wrong and the problem is simply that most existing copies of this record were the subject of heavy-duty jukebox/DJ rotation....something I can totally understand, as the song flat-out rocks.
Enjoy
