Description
Recently a friend passed away - he was a gem of a person, and aside from the obvious sadness involved in all that, he was renowned for having one of the best collections of 60's Garage, Beat, Punk & Psychedelic 7"s, EPs and LPs (especially of Australian artists) - gathered together meticulously and carefully for longer than the 36 year period I'd known him. Some things he'd parted with over the past few years of little work and continuing overheads, and a small section was stolen by someone also well-known here (I suspect her karma will come) - but the bottom line is, he had amazingly good taste, and (like a previous recent collection I was selling here) the gems he had were mostly handpicked for excellence....[with some others gathered to complete (often very obscure) label collections].
Anyway, this is one of that huge collection...all of which will appear here over the next few weeks. ::ARTIST: The SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN ::TRACKS: "LEAVE MYSELF TO ME" / "MEAN, MEAN, CITY" ::FORMAT: …vinyl 7” single… ::LABEL: FESTIVAL

===============================================
...Don't even consider arguing: this is simply one of THEE greatest 60's garage 45s released in Australia...no, they're not out-and-out fierce punkers, but they're both moody as all hell, with superb vocals (boy, this guy has been hurt BAD by his girl! - both sides written by singer Craig Roberts), lonesome mournful mouth-harp...and a fine wee rave-up at the end of the 'A' side...check some of these lyrics:
It's no use waiting around for me, I know what you've done, done to me, Now I'm stone deaf, stone deaf to your pleas,
The best thing that you can do now, Is leave myself to me
You've been chasing every other guy there is, Don't come near me now, Coz I couldn't stand your lying kiss
So now go away and let me be free, I don't want your love, Oh don't you see
Brilliant stuff!
