Song Of the Day: March 8, 2005
The Intruders-Now That You Know
IT Records 45, 1966
Also Available On Nobody To Love LP/CD
Teenage Shutdown Records
Shamrock J. says that the vocals on this song are just about the punkest thing he can think of, and we appreciate what he means. Tuff and teenage. At Little Hits we have a special place in our hearts and on the stereo for that particular breed of 60s teenagers who had cheap gear and a sneering lead singer, but still carefully rehearsed their three-part harmonies. The Intruders were from Pittsfield IL and managed just the one disc before psychedelia kicked in and they were forced to change their name to something ridiculous (not The Something Ridiculous). The scan is from the late 90s re-issue on MCCM records; they also did a re-ish of one of the all time fuzz monsters, Gonn's "Blackout Of Gretely," which must be heard on Rhino's Nuggets Box. This was one of a very, very small percentage of garage 45s that was originally issued in a pic sleeve.

Hey jon,
What a brillant recording! How did Rhino drop the ball on this one? Blows at lesat a third of the tracks on the Nuggets box set out of the water.
Your web site is wonderful, I look forward to it everyday. Keep it up!
Lovely:)
