Wow! This is one great record. The Exotics were a Dallas area garage band featuring some of the same personnel as the Floyd Dakil combo of "Dance Franny Dance" fame. This has got to be the greatest combination of fuzz guitar and organ I've ever heard anywhere. Devastating...

Okay, moving off of the animal/novelty theme, here we go with a nice garage "nugget" from short lived Tampa, Florida band the Rovin' Flames. Excellent snotty vocal on this one...

Here's a nice garage instrumental from Texas band Positively Thirteen O'clock. This is the flip side of their cover of The Count Five's Psychotic Reaction.

1967?
Hip Pocket Records were a short lived record format introduced by Philco in 1967. These flexi discs were about 3 inches wide and played at 45 RPM. Apparently they only lasted a year or two and never took off commercially. After buying this one recently I can see why. The thing is so small, thin and flimsy I can't get it to work on any record player in the house (I have 3). A little aggravating but still a nice curiousity. The music file provided here is taken from a reissue 45.

*Edit* I tried this again using the coin trick mentioned in Comments. Here is the actual sound file from the hip pocket disc. It works (sort of). See what you think...

p.s. this sounds pretty good if you synch up and play both files simultaneously...
