PUREPOP

Reviews of tasty and obscure hook-filled rock'n' roll releases (Glam, Power Pop, Pop/psych,Garage, Surf, 60s Girl Group and Protest/Folk Rock). Plus any quirky musings that tickle my fancy... I created this blog in order to stimulate interest, share discoveries and encourage people to go out and search for the original vinyl. Hopefully this blog might also encourage labels to actually compile some of this stuff officialy. Snippets are recorded from vinyl onto cassette!!! and into the PC...

The Clingers –Gonna Have A Good Time


The Clingers –Gonna Have A Good Time/And Now You Know Me –CBS 4047 (1969 French issue)
Q: What do you get when you mix 4 Mormon sisters, Kim Fowley and an Easybeats tune...?
A: A one off foray into 60s Girl Punk Dancerama with a bit of added proto Runaways...
Produced by The Prince of Sleaze with Michael Lloyd (Stories, Smoke etc...) Gonna Have A Good Time is a groovy uptempo organ fueled dancer. Not as wild as the original, The Clingers’ version still kicks a mean butt plus they were damn cute too boot –Check out their TV appearance on YouTube. The Clingers Sisters were a well established MoR /Gospell outfit appearing on many TV shows and this was an atypical release for the sisters. Debra Clinger later became one third of The Rock Flowers.

It certainly is a good version of The Easybeats classic.
