1966 TOP COPY ORIGINAL
NORTH WEST GARAGE!!
Don And The Good Times
WHERE THE ACTION IS!!
USA - WAND RECORDS - WDS 679
TOP COPY ~ ORIGINAL 1966 first pressing of the legendary Northwest garage crew who rivaled the Wailers and Sonics ...even beating them both in a firece battle of the bands contest (you gotta be wondering about the judging there) but...Don and The Good Times were a reckon to be dealt with alive in concert....
Though Paul Revere & The Raiders and The Kingsmen scored more national hits, and the Wailers and Sonics are held in highest esteem by record-collectors, Don and the Goodtimes were every bit their equal in creating stomping, rave-up R 'n' B and all-out thrashing Northwest rock 'n' roll. The band not only captured the essence of their contemporaries (e.g., their howling cover of the Sonics' "The Witch" captures the original's ferocity, and their rendition of The Kingsmen's "Long Green" surely helped the Goodtimes top the Northwest Battle of the Bands), but they also contributed to the Northwest rock 'n' roll vernacular with stellar originals like "Little Sally Tease."
Formed in 1964 by ex-Kingsmen keyboardist Don Gallucci and ex-Raider guitarist Pete Oulette (who, in turn was replaced by future Raider Jim Valley), they were joined by Don McKinney, a vocalist who was equally at home thrashing through Northwest rock 'n' roll as he was belting out garage-tinged R 'n' B rock 'n' soul sounds of Dave Childs funky bass playing, and the power-punch drumming of Bob Holden.
Like all of the era's popular garage bands of the sixties, the Goodtimes' set list was fleshed out with covers. All tracks feature heavy emphasis on their signature riffs and killer back-beats. The band also played tight, garage jams with organ and guitar each taking their turns on tunes like The Kingsmen's "Bent Scepter," and the Gallucci-penned answer, "Straight Scepter," the organ and guitar workout of "Lip Service," and their discotheque (or Las Vegas grind) debut single, "Turn On."
The Goodtimes eventually relocated to Los Angeles, where they found a measure of national success. Their pictures graced teen magazines, and they became regulars on Dick Clark's "Where the Action Is."
