I came across a copy of this in a box of 45’s at the long standing book store, Utah Book and Magazine. It was an easy blind buy with the label, song and band name. Turns out it was connected to a record I had heard about from Dieter by a group called The Starks. He referenced their track Hop Skippin’ Lulu many times in our conversations as reference point for bands that gained local fame back in the 60’s.

The tracks themselves are pretty straight forward garage rock with a slight Link Wray or surf rock vibe to. It’s worth a listen and cool artifact of the time.
