WE THE PEOPLE – You Burn Me Up and Down / In the Past (OKtay Records OK-002) 7”
Deadly ’66 garage double-sider! This beautifully pressed seven-inch single pairs two of the greatest tracks by Florida’s We the People: the savage, feedback-laced punker “You Burn Me Up and Down,” and the transcendent psychedelic garage classic “In the Past.” A-side mastered in high fidelity mono from a mint copy of the original Challenge single, B-side from the original master tape.
Tommy Talton wrote the A-side, which he describes as “raw hormonal rock. Discovering sex and love and volume! Written when I was rebellious and discovering the power of music.” The B-side, written by Wayne Proctor, features him playing an exotic, Eastern-style instrument called the octachord for a sitar-like effect. It was later covered by the Chocolate Watchband.
Limited edition of 500 copies featuring repros of the original Challenge labels in a cool OKtay company sleeve.
