PLUS:
Extremely rare South African-only pressing, this unusual album is the second LP by LA surf band The Fantastic Baggys (P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri), except for the fact that it was released without the band's knowledge, only in South Africa, by Teal Records S.A., and it only contains five tracks (outtakes and rarities) by the real Baggys.
The other 7 tracks are actually by the South African surf/garage band The Falling Leaves! Not to worry, though, the Falling Leaves tracks are just as interesting, and given that this surf LP was from late 1966 (and not the early 60s), there's plenty of garage-rock grit and proto-psych guitar distortion in a Baggys-Leaves track like "Ride The Wild Surf".
...sounds a lot more like The Mystic Tide than Jan + Dean! (No, this is not a cover of the Jan + Dean song by the same name, it appears to be a Falling Leaves original, as writing credits are Magnus/Martin, and the song was published in South Africa by Acuff/Rose (S.A.) This mp3 was ripped directly from the LP, with no editing or audio processing whatsoever...
...TEAL Record Company in South Africa was so eager to issue new Baggys' albums that, when none were forthcoming, they created their own indigenous version of The Fantastic Baggys. They subsequently signed one of their own bands, The Falling Leaves, to do the job. Their first single release was "Papa Do Ro Ron" with "Anywhere The Girls Are" by the US Baggys on the b side. "Papa Do Ron Ron" peaked at no 10 on the Springbok charts in November 1966. Sloan explained in an interview that ..." Dunhill felt that they owned the name P.F. Sloan, and could put out material as they liked under that name, as they did with The Fantastic Baggys. Today it would be unthinkable. They had the brand name of The Fantastic Baggys, and therefore they could sell the name wherever they wanted to, without caring about the material, the production or the work. I had written a letter to the South African Fantastic Baggys asking them if they would like any help with what they were doing, but Dunhill forbade me to have any contact with them at all. Their songs are not bad, but they are obviously different from the stuff we were doing. " Two additional Fantastic Baggys albums were released in South Africa, consisting mostly of songs by the like-named South African group, with a few leftover cuts by the real Baggys. The second album, Ride The Wild Surf, was released in November 1966. Although five tracks, drawn from singles and out-takes, did feature Sloan and Barri, more than half the set featured the Falling Leaves themselves.
