Description

Don Henley and other members of Shiloh had previously played together in at least two other bands. The first of these was the Four Speeds. Henley and two other future Shiloh members – bassist Richard Bowden and keyboard/trumpet player Jerry Surratt – were in this band, along with original guitarist Freddie Neese. These four teenagers cut two singles in 1964, “Variety” and “Why Did You Leave Me”, both of which were Texas-style garage rock songs that would fit in on a Nuggets box set. Henley sang the lead vocals on both, although he sounded little like his future self. The B-sides of both singles are offbeat instrumentals: “El Santa” mixes “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” with “Tequila”; “Bedrock” is derived from Henry Mancini’s Peter Gunn theme.


 Four Speeds "Why Did You Leave Me" b/w "Bedrock" (Harlyn single 101) 1964 

I test ALL records sold on a dual 1019 turntable. Both sides play excellently! This is an ultra rare Texas garage rock recording of Don Henley founding member of the Eagles! Happy bidding. Standard media shipping rate of $2.61 applies.
