Royal Flairs - Rare Recordings From 1965-66

From Omaha/Nebraska this garage band was best known for their song "Suicide" which found its way on several compilations, "Back From The Grave Vol. 3" for instance. 1988 Unlimited Productions released an album full of demos and singles (Unlimited Productions UPLP 1007). The a-side is crude garage recorded in 1965. "She's Not There" is a pretty cool version of the Zombies song. The leftovers are standard garage tunes like "Little Latin Lupe Lu" or "Jolly Green Giant". The things become more interesting on the flip side. The before mentioned "Suicide", "Feelings" or "My Baby Cries" are first rate punkers while "Sunshine Madness" is a sweet and innocent track that should have deserved a better sound. They also released their records as "The Unlimited" and "Bobby & Dave".
