I have this one on one of the many Nuggets and/or Pebbles type compilations i own, but it's also nice to have the actual single. It's even nicer to have the b-side, which i don't think i had heard before (I'll get it up here eventually.) I went with the A-side this time for two reasons- 1) Its the better song, and 2) It's the original version of a song included on a punk ep that i posted almost a year ago. If you dig that 1990's punk/garage-revival sound, go check THIS RECORD out. It's a good un.
Right now enjoy a little Shapes of things to come, plus an added bonus.
get it

Max Frost & the Troopers wern't a real group,per see, but a gathering of session musicians backing teenaged actor Christopher Jones (then 17 in 1968)to use as a theme song for the Samuel Arkoff picture "wild In The Streets" for American International Pictures, about a wild youth at age 14 elected the youngest ever president who lowers the voting age to 14, & arrests & locks up all the square grown-ups. Pretty hard to believe these recording sessions were supervised by Mike Curb, who would go on to become the very model of a tight-ass Republican grown-up supporting Nixon, Regan, & both Bush family members as presidents . The record was the 'group's" only Top 40 record reaching #22 in 1968.
Were the little "Trailers" at the beginning of each side actually on the 45? Anything on The Tower label is classic. Just the way it is.
I attached the radio spots myself
