Here's a fabulous lone record cut by
The July Four in mid 1967. Both sides can be found on
Fading Yellow Vol. 2 which lists '
Mr. Miff' mysteriously as the 'bonus track'. '
Frightened Little Girl' is a real charmer, but the flipside,
'Mr. Miff' is a brain melter that became one of my favorites last summer. '
Mr. Miff' is an instrumental version of '
Frightened Little Girl' which replaces the vocals and horns with a lead guitar that really numbs the synapses. Tunes like this are a good reason why I don't have to take drugs. Info on this record is sparse, but I have seen a comment or two comparing the instrumental cut to some of the early tracks of the 1980's band
Felt. This comparison is fairly just, and I can mention my favorite Felt track '
Evergreen Dazed' as being a worthy companion to '
Mr. Miff'.
note: mastered by Frankford/Wayne in Philadelphia, PA.
