The Iguanas (version 1)
|
This single was produced by Gordon Bynum, who
was also responsible for The Thirteenth Floor Elevators' debut on Contact.
The result is awesome. The Elevators influence is everywhere and turns
this version into a masterpiece. The electric jug sounds works really well
for the song, it just makes you wonder what could have happened if Roky
& Co. had tried to record it themselves. In fact The Iguanas toured
with Roky Erickson in 1968 as The Thirteenth Floor Elevators! The Iguanas'
Al Melinger later played in Endle St. Cloud who recorded 2 singles and
an album on International Artists. To set the record straight for once
and for all, Iggy Pop was NOT a member of these Iguanas. The Iguanas
credit the song to (T. Scott/V. Morrison), probably in an attempt
to cash in on the runaway success of 'Gloria' by The Shadows Of Knight.
This is a classic by all means that had hit written all over it! Released
March 1966. |
