Description

Prince And The Paupers
Shoulder Of A Giant / Exit
JRJ Productions - JRJ-2115
1966 (?)

This one has been featured on a couple of 1960s garage comps over the years, but apart from a handful of results available on the "shallow Web" it's still a bit of a mystery record, and the only known release from Prince And The Paupers*.

The A side is a rather groovy garage Pop track, with a Beat-style intro, lighter organ and plaintive vocals. 

The B side is kicked-off with maniacal laughter before hitting it's equally lucid organ-driven stomp, with more crazed laughter throughout!  That organ riff is almost definitely inspired by the organ intro famously used in The Castaway's "Liar Liar", and with both Prince And The Paupers and The Castaway being garage bands hailing from Minnesota, there's gotta be a call and response thing going on -- right? 

Who knows!  One thing's for sure: This track is an excellent slice of psychedelic Sixties mania. 

Vinyl Condition Remarks
Vinyl Condition Surface -- Glossy VG+/EX.  Playback is GREAT!
Record Condition / Other -- Clean labels -- no writing.


*The Minnesota band is not the same as the band with a very similar name from the east coast.  The latter is an obscure outfit in its out right, with two releases on the Clarity label.  : )
