Reviews of tasty and obscure hook-filled rock'n' roll releases (Glam, Heavy Bonehead Crunchers, Powerpop, Pop/psych,Garage, Surf, 60s Girl Group 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.

Dug Dug’s –You Better Think Twice
Dug Dug’s –You Better Think Twice/ I Have Got To Run Away From Here –RCA SP 5095 (1978 Mexico)
To be honest it’s mainly the pic sleeve that warrants this single’s inclusion here as it perfectly transposes 1974 into 1978! The look is just killer, whereas the sounds are just amiable and vibrant. Mexico’s Los Dug Dug’s had a long career from the 60s into the 80s and are heralded in some parts for their earlier more psych material as well as for their El Loco LP. Although this single came out in 1978, it is likely that the recording and cover shot was from 1975, although this needs to be confirmed. Anyhow it was released after the group had been dropped by RCA.

Hi Robin, this was released when they were still signed in RCA, they dropped from RCA in 1985 or 1986, when they recorded a rock album that has nothing to do with their psychedelic/progressive material from their 1968-1975 albums/singles or their late 70's glam/hard rock/prog stuff.
