  • TOP COPY! so hard to find THIS CLEAN

  • STILL IN FACTORY CELLOPHANE

    ...ORIGINAL 1966 first pressing in glorious MONO with the bold punchy production...

    The dark cover is near impossible to find clean, so this clean collectible means a clean cover too...special for a 55 year old teen-scene garage-rock album, most copies are found trashed....

    "Little Girl," the Syndicate of Sound's swaggering top ten single from the summer of 1966 was a song that defined, if not a generation, at least the gaarge punk generation...Other happening cuts here include "I'm Alive","Dream Baby","Lookin' For The Good Times", the should've-been-a-hit "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby?" and "Upper Hand". Basically, solid garage rockers. Line-up: Don Baskin-guitar & vocalist,Jim Sawyer-guitar, John Sharkley-guitarist & keyboardist, Bob Gonzalez - bass and John Duckworth - drums. Should appeal to fans of Music Machine, The Seeds, Count Five, Standells, Chocolate Watchband and The Leaves.

    If any one song summed up the swaggering teenage spirit of 1966-the year revered by rock historians as the fountainhead of what is now called "garage rock"-it was "Little Girl" by the Syndicate of Sound. With its sneering, adenoidal lyrics, talk-sung by frontman Don Baskin, the Syndicate's national Top Ten hit also showcased the dizzying guitar work of original fretboard man Larry Ray, the guitar and keyboards of John Sharkey, the thumping bass of Bob Gonzalez and the exhilarating drums of John Duckworth.

    Formed in San Jose, Calif. in 1964 by fellow Camden High School grads Gonzalez and Baskin, the Syndicate soon became one of the premier U.S. rock 'n' roll bands and an early harbinger of psychedelic rock yet to come. They established a national following based on one massive 1966 hit, "Little Girl," a song that would open many doors for the combo. Predecessors to the Syndicate of Sound were gritty R&B outfits called the Pharaohs and Lenny Lee and the Nightmen. After winning a 1965 Bay Area "Battle of the Bands" the Syndicate cut an unsuccessful single for Los Angeles label Del-Fi called "Prepare for Love." But the best was yet to come.

    On January 9, 1966, the Syndicate of Sound recorded "Little Girl"-penned by Gonzalez and Baskin-for Hush Records at a studio in San Francisco. Produced by Sunnyvale's Garrie Thompson, a Lockheed co-worker of Gonzalez' dad, it became a regional hit in California when San Jose radio station KLIV latched onto it. The disc soon caught the ear of Bell Records in New York, who picked it up for national distribution and later would ask the group to record an album.

    "Little Girl" began to break nationally in Oklahoma City and entered Billboard Magazine's Top 40. Just before the single broke nationwide, original guitarist Larry Ray left the band and was replaced by Jim Sawyers. Since Bell was eager to get their newly-inked group on the road, the Syndicate toured nonstop for the latter half of 1966, taking time off only to tape TV shows like Dick Clark staples "American Bandstand" and "Where the Action Is!" James Brown, who appeared with the Syndicate on one of the Clark broadcasts, was so impressed that he invited them to open his Cow Palace show in San Francisco later that year. The Syndicate of Sound toured with a number of notable pop acts, sharing stages with: the Yardbirds, Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels, Paul Revere & the Raiders, the Association, ? and the Mysterians, Jefferson Airplane, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, the Left Banke, the Rascals and many others. The album contains a slew of happening garage-rock raves in line with "Little Girl"
