off: "little black egg"

...coulda sworn i had an aircheck w/a version of this song by someone other
than the nightcrawlers...guess not.

according to info gleaned by the mighty mac SHERLOCK, it was released on lee
in 8/65, and then on kapp 11/65 and 11/66

...found an in-house playlist from KFWB Los Angeles for the week of 3/8-15/67
which has it making its debut at #36.

i remember hearing it at least once as an oldie on a phoenix top 40 station
circa 1970, and reading about how it was banned in some places for allegedly
being about hashish, but if it dates back to '65 i'd kinda doubt it >>though
i believed that part until a few minutes ago!<<

in addition the the ep doug p. pointed out, it's also on nuggets vol. 6 and
CD vol. 2...
and much later covered by the lemonheads and tarnation, whoever they are...

still gonna check my aircheck tapes for another '60s version...doesnt look
good, though.

the only other record i can think of to chart in different locales over a
year or more's time was "timothy" by the buoys, '70-71. xtra credit for
knowing the writer and subject matter for that one!
