A Tommy James and the Shondells original, Johnny Thunder and his crew turned the track inside out in 1968 transforming it into the soul/fuzz monster you hear, below. They took the reins and they ain’t giving ‘em back.

1 | crypt October 25th, 2012 at 11:40 amThanks so much for posting this, I’m always looking for fuzzed out, gnarly tracks like this. It screams into existence, leaving a rift in its wake like not many other songs can.
2 | CR October 25th, 2012 at 2:00 pmThis track is pure style in forms of music! Great!
3 | Talent4Free October 25th, 2012 at 4:51 pmThe Don Fardon version of this song is awfully good too.

Bob Dylan kept going on about this record in a Rolling Stone interview in 1968. The interviewer didn’t know who he was talking about. I thought he made the whole thing up.

6 | Tina October 31st, 2012 at 4:21 pmThank you for this! I too read about it in that Dylan ’68 interview – I’d be happy to buy it at Amazon, but they didn’t have it. Thanks a lot!
7 | Earnest March 4th, 2013 at 6:42 pmHAHAHAHAHA whoa dig the Don Fardon video of 1968 but prefer the weight and depth of the Johnny Thunder, Righteous AD!!
