THE SYNDICATE OF SOUND - Little Girl, 1966 (USA, San Jose, CA. garage)(Bell 6001)

The Syndicate of Sound were best known for their national smash hit "Little Girl" which became somewhat of a garage anthem. It went to No.8 and their album (Bell 6001, 1966) made No.148 in the charts. Their LP contains respectable versions of "Big Boss Man", "I'm Alive" and "The Witch" (well, they couldn't beat Gerry Roslie's bunch but they came pretty close). You will also find some weak material here, especially on side 1 ("Almost Grown", "So Alone" and "Dream Baby") but all the other tracks are constantly good.
