Over the years I’ve collected a LOT of exploito LPs (cash-in records consisting of often one-take cheap-o versions of hit songs recorded by anonymous studio musicians), but have been slowly getting rid of them for space reasons, mainly. Had to keep this one though, it was so good. The guitars are nice and fat and the singer has a cool ‘60s punk snarl. Caddy, founding member of the Tornados who passed away in 2000, produced dozens of now sound/exploitation LPs chock full of a mix of rock and orchestral covers of hit songs of the day, mainly through the Canada-based Avenue of America label, for which he was house arranger and producer. Don't know who Bob Faloon was. [Funny; when I tried to upload a song to SoundCloud I got a copyright notice for an entity called Studio Union, presumably the current rights holder to these versions.]
