Thee Muffins – Pop Up! (1966)


Bass – Skitch 
Drums, Percussion – Danny Lee 
Lead Guitar, Organ – Walter Condi
Lead Vocals – Russ Eden 
Rhythm Guitar – Al Dawn 

Lake George NY ’66. Songs are ‘credited’ to the vocalists but all except one(?) are covers. The obscure tracks are re-makes of Lance Fox & The Bloodhounds' "You Got Love" and The Infernos’ "I’m Comin’ Home". "Calija" and "Oh Pappa Do" are ‘Kaw-Liga” and "Ooh Poo Pa Doo", but A3, listed as ‘Not Fade Away’, is not the Buddy Holly song at all, but an original[??] garage blues-soul shouter that might have been titled ‘Can’t Take This Pain Inside’ or ‘Can’t Take It No More’.

    1. Hi
      Thank you again. I wouldn't say the album is outstanding, but the cover versions are interesting... And the rarity of the release, of course. Tony, I sent you a letter a few months ago asking if I could post some of your albums, with you as the author. Perhaps you can answer here..?

  3. Wow. Shame about the poorly thought out cover.. you know.. "fastest rising" and comments like "Someone popped their bubble"' when they stalled.. I know all about it. I had a band called "The Catch" .. When it folded we got all sorts of comments like "never caught on, eh?" (even though it was health reasons of one of the primary members that we folded, not musical).
    I''ll listen to this one with an open mind , anyways! THanks!
