Thanks Bill.
Takes me back to the summer of 1966 in NJ... from a cold rainy London morning...

In 1966 and 1967 I was in jr. hi, but remember how extraordinary especially '67 was from all of the new rock that was being born in those days. Cream, Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane and that ilk were all brand new and radically different than any of the other bland pop that was aired on most radio back then.

Not everything, but this was one of the original "garage bands", so it is unlikely that they did much recording in state-of-the-art, classical-music, recording studios.

Don't know why there would be any comparison to the Yardbirds.  This is good but it sure isn't up to the level of the Yardbirds.

Can you say "Yardbirds"?  Still, I've liked the tune since my youth in the 60s!

I agree.  Great stuff, even if the guy on the right looks eerily similar to the Scorpio goon in Dirty Harry.

 

The guy just to the left of him looks like Alfred E. Neuman.  I don't think very many "emo" bands ever aspired to be "punk".  Great song.

As much fun now as it was in the '60's.  If the lyrics weren't so doinky, I'd give it a 10! 

And Bauhaus owes them royalties for the rhythm section of Poison Pen!
