"Absolute drunk party dance killer! This jungle soul monster gets everyone moving at a certain point in the evening! After this they released the follow up, Mo Gorilla (Cortland Records), and a bit later Go Go Gorilla, a funkier version on Satellite Records. There are a few covers/rip offs of this wild slab of vinyl, most notably the mega rare savage garage version of Go Go Gorilla by The Shandells. Here is a bit of Ideals history from the Hook and Sling blog: The Ideals were formed in 1952, and over the ensuing years the groups line up chopped and changed leaving only two of the original members, Leonard Mitchell and Robert Tharp. By the time the group had got round to recording ‘The Gorilla’ in 1963 Reggie Jackson, Sam Steward and Eddie Williams had all joined the ranks. After releasing several records with limited success, The Ideals joined up with former Five Chances member Howard Pitman, who not only owned Concord Records, but also wrote ‘The Gorilla’ for The Ideals. The record imediately took off and sold nearly 90,000 copies! It is cited this may have been due to The Ideals mini tour of all the local Chicago schools, complete with a guy dressed in a gorilla outfit in tow!! The groups local hit out grew Concord Records and Howard Pitman eventually sold on the rights and The Ideals contract to Cortland Records, who pushed ‘The Gorilla’ to a national platform." - Ace Hotel
