You guys probably know who are Paul Revere & The Raiders, not in vain they were one of the most successful American garage bands in the mid sixties. It's a pity that their joke costumes and appearances at Dick Clark's Where the Action It's could erode their wildness and rawness. Ok, they weren't the Troggs nor the Sonics, but give 'em a little respect: this band was in the place when the Animals collides with the Kinks —in fact, the former band rejected "Kicks", and then the song was offered to the Raiders. The both "Just like Me" (November 1965) and "Kicks" (February 1966) hit the US pop charts, reaching #11 and #4, respectively. This 7" is one of those Columbia double A-side reissues that includes two hits by the price of one —by the way, I couldn't date the record, if somebody knows the release date, please talk!
