Description

|
|
|
These varied tracks by early standouts of the SF music scene in the 1960s include "Free Advice" and a pre–Jefferson Airplane "Somebody to Love" by Grace Slick and the Great Society and five songs by the Beau Brummels ("Laugh, Laugh," "Stick Like Glue," "Sad Little Girl," "Don't Talk to Strangers," "If You Want Me To"). After raunchy rockers Mojo Men's two hits "Dance With Me" and "She's My Baby," they were joined by female drummer Jan Errico from the Vejtables ("Anything" and "I Still Love You"). Surf/British beat quartet the Tikis were heard from with "Darkest Night of the Year" and "Pay Attention to Me," while Bobby Freeman invited all and sundry to "Come On and Swim": Parts I and II. "Remembered now mainly for the Brit-influenced garage hit 'Laugh, Laugh', the San Francisco–based Beau Brummels featured songwriter Ron Elliott and singer Sal Valentino, both of whom could be expressive—within the conventions of mid-’60s post-folk rock, in ways sometimes reminiscent of the Youngbloods."—No Depression
