Stumblebunny -4 track EP –Slip-Shod Records (1977 US)
Tonite is simply a top draw Power Pop tune. While less glossy than the later Mercury version produced by Richard Gottehrer, it’s a fine rockin’ performance and sounds like The Raspberries or Dwight Twilley if they had recorded for Titan (well to these ears anyway…)

wow. what a gem. I would love this single in my collection.
ReplyDeleteWot - no sleeve? I'll send you a scan - it's very cool and home-made-y.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right, 'Tonite' is a lost pop classic in the same sad box as the Dirty Angels and Reddy Teddy.
Hey Powerpop,
ReplyDeleteI have one for sale at my website, though it's not with the sleeve the duck rightly says is pretty nice.
Hi Collin
ReplyDeletePlease email me a scan and I'll upload it. I have the LP coming to me in the next few days...
Written and produced by Chris Robinson the label says, in 1977. (btw- I just googled a nice site: http://www.chrisrobison.net)
ReplyDeleteBut hey, I have an equally beatiful version of this same song by Dutch soul singer Tony Sherman, and that one is from 1974. How is that possible, what info do I miss here, who did the original then ?

ReplyDeleteThis is just a fantastic record. It combines the swagger of the Stones at their best (on Exile On Main Street) with a fantastic pop hook. Finding this really made my day.
ReplyDeleteThat's what it's all about!
