Description

Mega rare album from the Dartmouth, Massachusetts five piece outfit which was released  on the Laurel label (Laurel 331098) in 1969. Up-Down is an album of largely self-penned material (only 2 covers, one of which is a strong version of The Spencer Davis Group’s hit, Gimme Some Lovin’)  with The Leaves Are Turning Brown, complete with cheesy psych organ and wonderfully earnest vocals, is the stand out track!

Up-Down is a beat-garage concept album detailing the highs and lows of a summer vocation romance, with, as you would expect, loads of moody teenage  angst and lashings of self pity. The songs are all catchy, and there are a couple of good ballads.Summer Sounds was one of the best groups of its genre and  consequently a number of the band’s tunes have been comp’d.
Track Listing: 1. Small World 2. Hard To Please 3. Lonely Beach 4. Gimme Some Lovin’ 5. One Last Kiss 6. The Leaves Are Turning Brown 7. Summer  8. I Love You 9. First Date 10. You Told Me.   This album up for auction was found at a yard sale in Fairhaven, Mass.  about 10 years ago. Album played very well on my Panasonic turntable with no skips. The record could use a professional cleaning as it has a little dust in he tracks.
