THE UGLY DUCKLINGS (1966) RARE CANADIAN ROCK 45

(Not to be confused with the U.S. 'Ugly Duckling'

  "The Ugly Ducklings" were a 5-piece garage rock group based in Toronto, Ontario Canada during the mid-sixties. They released six singles in 1966 and 1967 on the Yorktown and Yorkville labels and had one LP release, Somewhere Outside in 1967. In the summer and fall of 1967 the band's fifth single "Gaslight" became a top 40 hit across Canada, peaking at #17 on the RPM Chart, and reaching #1 on CHUM 1050 in Toronto on October 2. Their first three 45s also made the local 1050 CHUM AM charts in Toronto.

The group was formed in 1965 with Dave Bingham (lead vocals, harmonica), Glynn Bell (rhythm guitar), Rodger Mayne (lead guitar), John Read (bass), and Robin Boers (drums). In their early beginnings their music was partially influenced by The Who,The Rolling Stones,The Yardbirds and The Kinks, however the band was still able to create a rough individual sound typified by their solid garage-punk original material and raw delivery."
