GET YOURSELF A COLLEGE GIRL E 4273 (-64) US MONO

Soundtrack to a long forgotten beach-party movie, but if you need also a compilation used to fill collection blanks. For most of the tracks involved this was the first time on LP and for a couple probably the only time. The Dave Clark 5 numbers A and B-side of a 1964 single. The Animal ones both showed up on their eponymous US debute. The Standells "Bony Maronie" can be found on their live "In Person At P.J.s", while this seems to be a premiere for "The Swim". Probably also the first place for Stan Getz/Astrud Gilberto "The Girl From Ipanema", Freddie Bell & The Bell Boys/Roberta Linn "Talkin' About Love", Stan Getz "Sweet Rain", the Mary Ann Mobley title track and the two by Jimmy Smith Trio, but whether any of those have showed up later in other circumstances, and in that case if it's the same takes, I don't know. In any case treated as a compilation it's a refreshing mix of garage rock, pop, lounge jazz and bossa. Audio is great all through providing very good listening. My favorites would be Standell's garage rockers and the lounge jazzy ones from Jimmy Smith Trio, topped by a very warm and embracing Hammond B-3. Also issued in UK (MGM C-812) and Canada (E 4273). US 1992 CD on Sony (AK 52420). As I understand premiere US should have ridged label, which this copy hasn't so it's probably somewhat later. It came in a glossy cover with MGM lion inner.
