"Psychotic Reaction" #5 10/15/1966

Count Five was an ultimate one-hit wonder group. They wore Dracula-style capes on stage in their early days around the San José area. (Get it? COUNT Five?) The band was unable to capitalize on their sole hit, however, as they concentrated on staying in college (and keeping their draft deferments) and broke up within a year of this Top 5 effort. It has a definite Jeff Beck Yardbirds-style guitar solo and double-time raveup in the middle, which was copied and dubbed onto the end to make the 45 a little longer.

ANOTHER personal all-time favorite single hit of all times.
