Off the Record # 6 - Tangerine Boss


  Sharing a lesser-known Tommy James & The Shondells track today, the psychedelic thumper," I am a Tangerine". The hits from this 1968 album were the title track "Crimson & Clover", and "Crystal Blue Persuasion", though "..Tangerine" sounds as if it was created under the influence of just a little more help from their...ahem,  friends. Picked up this record at Zia Record Exchange in Tucson, a strange Blockbuster video-looking place that, for some reason, has a half decent vinyl selection.



  I wouldn't feel right about sharing any track from this album without paying homage to Andrew Reynolds' classic Baker 2G part from 2000, which starts off with "Crimson & Clover".





  Always been a fan of the Boss and Baker... Bake & Destroy was another great addition to their crispy bucket of videos. Short & simple for OTR today.... wiped out from late-November sunny day street skating. See ya tomorrow....
