Description
THE MOMENTS @@ “You really got me” bw “Money, money” (WORLD ARTISTS PROMO COPY 1032) The famous Steve Marriot pre-small faces.
The Frantics mutated into the Moments and, towards the end of 1964, the band recorded Ray Davies’ You really got me. The record only got an American release, which was obviously an attempt to beat the Kinks to the States. Again, the single went nowhere fast and the Moments eventually split. The Moments lost this battle though. You Really Got Me broke ground for the Kinks stateside due to its driving beat and its Louie Louie styled stop and start rhythm but the Moments' version dive-bombed into obscurity. To be fair, the Moments' version is pretty tinny due bad production and one can see how it didn't make the charts. This leads us to the b-side which is a different story altogether. Money Money is a handsome slice of embryonic British r 'n' b complete with harmonica, finger clicks and Steve's first recorded yell of "Come on children"!.Definitely the better of the two sides and a taster for what was to come a year later when the Small Faces first crashed into the charts. You Really Got Me is one of Steve's biggest rarities. Record Collector valued it at £75 mint and the price tag has undoubtedly risen since then.
