7" SINGLE 

GROOVE 504

MINT minus CONDITION

The group was from Richmond, Virginia and recorded this at Edgewood in
Washington, D.C. on March 5, 1968. The standard independent run of 500 copies
were pressed but poorly marketed by the group. Those first run 45s are scarce
and high dollar. This release may be an improvement over the original. In 2005
this mix was overseen by Martin Gary who produced the band on that recording
date back in the Sixties. The balance is the same, but this mix clocks in at
2:57 - an extension of almost 20 seconds. The excitement that was hinted at
during the fade of the original release is brought back to life from the 4-track
master tape. Bernard Smith burns on here. The instrumental version brings more
evidence to what fine musicians the mostly teenage Jokers Wild were. Note that
the time on the B-side is 3:03, a bit longer then the vocal version. This issue
was limited to 250 copies. Not a Sixties original, but not really a reissue, as
it is an extended version and one that has the blessings of all the Jokers Wild
who are still with us.
