I'll definitely check it out.  Mike, aren't you the one who recommended
the Buckinghams' albums awhile back?  I found Kind of a Drag used and
must say that I'm really impressed.  About half of it is absolutely
great!  Why isn't "I've Been Wrong Before" on everybody's list of best
garage tunes?  "Don't Want To Cry" and "Makin' Up & Breakin' Up" are
really good too.  So is that instro, "Virginia Wolf".  And the boys do a
fairly killer version of "I'm A Man" to boot.  There are a few duds but,
on balance, it was a really nice surprise.
