What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Aside from the cheezy costumes, a pretty good band. Formed in Idaho by organist Paul Revere
(real name). He met up with vocalist Mark Lindsay in 1958, through a family owned restaurant.
Didn't know they went back that far. First record was in 1960. Leon Russell toured with the
band in 1961. Some debate as to which group recorded Louie Louie first, these guys or the hit
makers The Kingsmen. Both groups resided in Oregon at the time and both recordings were done in
the same studio. That track leads off this compilation which includes all of their hits through
1967. They got their big break when Dick Clark signed them as a regular act on Where The Action
Is. They had a few more hits after this album, but this covers their peak period. It went to #9
here.
