Title: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE FROM TIDEWATER, VIRGINIA!
Product review: If you grew up in the Tidewater, Virginia area (now more anemically referred to as "Hampton Roads") in the mid-to-late 60s, you may have seen some of these groups in concert. I remember hearing their names on AM-radio commercials (WGH, anyone?) appearing at The Peppermint Beach Club (Virginia Beach), Jolly Roger (Ocean View), and other forgotten Norfolk locations. Lenis Guess' "Workin' for My Baby" was a huge regional hit (he's now a minister and is still recording and performing). Best treasures are the three cuts from The Swingin' Machine who were HUGE (tracks 6 & 7 were released as a 45-single).There is an innocent exhuberance to these chestnuts which evokes an era when teenage boys started garage bands with dreams of stardom...before reality had a chance to kick in.
