The Silvertones - Bathsheba c/w Get Itdotdotdot
artworkThis 1963 single is quite perplexing. the a-side is a solid instro, while the b-side is a totally goofy thing that doesn't even sound like the same band or session.
Picks: Bathsheba

Track by Track Review


Bathsheba dotdotdot
Surf (Instrumental)

This track has an unusual use of the horn in the lead role of the middle eastern theme, with dry surf guitar picking, and warm whammy in the break. It's sultry and stylish.

Get It dotdot
Rock (Instrumental)

Like a weird frat party variation on the Charades Band's "Get It" with a strong to Barrett Strong's "Money" and not much more than a riff and tribal thunder accented by adolescent screams and chunky shouts of "Get It." Party down, "and don't forget to wear white tonight." This is the b-side to Bathsheba.
