You all might know that the Fantastic Dee-Jays from McKeesport/Pennsylvania later transformed into the legendary Swamp Rats. Their one and only album from 1966 contains their great version of "Fight Fire", the strong self compositions "Get Away Girl" and "Love Is Tuff" as well as competent covers of "What A Shame" and "What You're Doing". "Apache" on the other hand sounds like it was taped at their first practice session. The other stuff is in the beat/garage style. The sound is pretty crude but this shouldn't scare you away. The tracks were taken from the reissue on EVA records (EVA 12028 / 1984). Tracklist:
- Fight fire
- Get away girl
- Shy girl
- Mr. Sad
- Two tymes two
- Apache
- You're the one
- What a shame
- What you're doing
- Love is tuff
- Just a boy
- This love of ours
