I always thought that "Dirty Water" from 1966 was the first album released by The Standells, but they actually had an earlier record in 1964 called "In Person At P.J.'s" that was mostly all the standard cover tunes of the time that a whole lot of bands recorded like "Louie, Louie," and/or "Money."
The Standells are one of those bands that I can't for the life of me figure out why they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On this album alone, they had two of the most iconic songs of the 60's that people still listen to today, "Dirty Water," and "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White," and just like Paul Revere and the Raiders, it just doesn't make sense.
The lead off song on this album is one that you don't hear often, or even at all, and I think it's a good one!
Cool tune, but I think I like this instrumental version better!
