Description

THE SHAMES - MY WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN b/w SPECIAL ONES - RFT 45 - KILLER GARAGE - VG- CONDITION... 


Both tracks can be heard on youtube...


The record has been played and it does have some scuffs (but nothing deep)... Both sides play thru with some minor surface noise but no skips... We'd grade the overall condition of the record as VG- with decent labels (no writing, bb holes, tears, or stickers) and some light ring wear...


The Shames were a garage rock band from Ipswich, Massachusetts who were active in the mid-1960s. They are known among collectors for two songs which are highly regarded: "Special Ones" and especially "My World is Upside Down," which has been mentioned as a classic in the genre. The Shames formed in 1964 as the Dimensions. Later they changed their name to the Cryin' Shames, as a comment about the disparaging remarks they would receive about the length of their hair (something to the effect of "...what a cryin' shame..."). Their membership consisted of Denis Trudel on lead vocals, James "JB" Amero on lead guitar, Patty "Beetle" Germoni on keyboards, Gerard Trudel on bass, and Joey Amerault on drums.  After the success of the Chicago band with the same, they dropped "Cryin'" from the title and became the Shames. They became a popular draw in the New England and upstate New York region, doing frequent gigs at a number of venues and played regularly at the Sillouette Club in Beverly, Massachusetts.  Their manager was Charles L. Larrivee. The Shames recorded a single for RFT Music Productions in 1966, featuring "My World is Upside Down," written by J. Amero and R. Beauleir, b/w "The Special Ones," by D. Trudel.  For the first batch of pressings, which appeared on a red label, the printers forgot to put the band's name on the label so the record had to be re-pressed in a second batch—this time with a yellow label.  Both songs are now compiled on the Back From the Grave Vol. 6 LP (and Vol. 3 CD) series, released on Crypt Records. Their song "My World is Upside Down" has been noted as a garage rock classic and "Special Ones" is also highly regarded.  In Mike Markesich's Teenbeat Mayhem, both songs are mentioned in list of the top 1000 garage songs of all time (out of the over 16,000 records included in the book) decided on by a panel of garage rock experts and writers, both are in the upper quarter of rankings.  "My World Is Upside Down" is ranked in the top 200 at the position of #197 and "Special Ones" at #220 respectively. Remarking on "My World is Upside Down", Tim Warren of Crypt Records has called it "...by far the best garage record out of the entire New England area."
