37 | Nice teen medium slow song, dated 1966, but sounds earlier than that. This song reminds me more of the 1962 and 1963 sounds of Paul and Paula or Dick and Dee Dee. The flip side, "After The Laughter Came The Tears" is more garage oriented and actually charted on KXOK radio in St. Louis Missouri in the summer of 1966. |

45 | From Newport Beach California, this is a medium fast surf teen rocker from 1964. The son of a successful southern California urologist, Phil Pearlman later recorded "The Beat Of The Earth", which is more experimental like the Velvet Underground type music. Being a an early Beach Boys style music fan, this is the one release I like quite a bit by him. |

49 | Medium tempo teen sound, not sure of the year but my guess is in the 1963 to 1965 period. This sounds a bit like the style of the group Barry and the Tamerlanes, except the lead singer sounds different and the girls in the background are really strong. |
