"The Little Black Egg" #85 2/4/1967

Here's a really quirky 60's record by a garage band from Daytona Beach, the Nightcrawlers, with a very imitated guitar intro. It did well regionally in late '65, then barely scraped the national charts on its re-release a year later. Their local rivals were the Escorts, later known as the Allman Joys, who became the Allman Brothers Band. For a time Nightcrawlers guitarist Sylvan Wells lived in my old home area of Luray, Virginia handcrafting guitars, but since took his respected business back to Daytona.
