THE WALLABIES - "Up And Down Children" (1967)

 In 1967 Jim Dickinson was working as a record producer for Ardent Studios, and produced this song by The Wallabies, (Or was it The Wallabys?) but it wasn't released until 2008 when Big Beat Records in the UK put out a double CD titled "Thank You Friends: The Ardent Records Story."
Wikipedia calls this song "A marriage of garage rock and a twisted Merseybeat sound."
 
A commenter on youTube said "Jesus, was this recorded on aluminum foil???"
No doubt that Jim was already painting outside the lines.

    When Alex Chilton & Chris Bell heard this record, they probably thought this Jim Dickinson guy will be the perfect producer for our new band, Big Star.
