Description

Mega rare copy of this 1967 canadian garage rock grail, M.G. & The Escorts' '' A Someday Fool / It's Too Late'' on REO records, catalog no. 8975X. Record is in EX condition, comes with original custom REO sleeve, see pics for details.
Here's what info I could find on the band (thanks to Michael Panontin) : From suburban Pointe-Claire, on Montreal's west island, M.G. and the Escorts saw some chart action at local radio station CFCF with their 1966 debut seven-incher, the rather lame merseybeat of 'Please Don't Ever Change'. The boys, at the time still sporting matching Carnaby Street suits and spiffy Beatle boots, were kept busy on the Ottawa valley circuit, playing high school dances around Ottawa, Kingston and Brockville.

By early 1967 though, after losing their Beatlemania fetters, M.G. and the Escorts had really hit their stride with their third release for the Reo label, a brilliant double-sider that reached number nine locally. 'A Someday Fool' is fiery garage rock, lifted by a blazing fuzz guitar riff and a powerfully simple rhythm. The flipside reveals shades of the Buckinghams. 'It's Too Late' is flower-pop soul, a blue-eyed crooner with mellifluous organ and supper-club vibes subtly tucked away in the mix. You'll have this one wedged in your brain for days.
