THE YOUNG RASCALS - SLOW DOWN
Showcasing the incredible instrumental prowess of this legendary New Jersey band, the b side to their excellent debut single ("I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore") is also one of the groups finest r&b tracks.
"Slow Down", penned by Larry Williams, had already been covered in a more manic Merseybeat style; yet, here the group lays out a deep Stax like groove which was propelled into orbit by Dino Danelli's drumming. After 30 seconds of scorching organ and guitar, Felix Cavaliere's raw vocal comes in and everybody gets real, real gone.
Trivia: the exotic looking Atlantic label is an Australian pressing.
from 1965...
