THANKS SO MUCH for another masterpiece and Xtra-ThanX for including the artwork!!! That's how it HAS TO BE! And that's faintlyblowing.blogspot quality standard! Keep on rockin'!
Thankyou, The Gants, with The Remains, my favourite 60s garage groups.

I particularly like their version of "I want your loving," sung with mock-British accents. The UK's Sons of Fred recorded this song too although they didn't use any accents (unless they were doing an American accent and I can't hear it!).
Amazing 60s group.
Thank you very much!
