OMG! BOS2 Crabby Appleton, "Go Back". What a fine lost gem. I still say this song had to've been an influence on the Raspberries.

WOS Temps, "Psychedelic Shack", my least fave song of theirs. Motown at its most panderingly "let's try to sound 'hip'".

Wow, a sniping WOS and it's not from me!   :o   I agree that the lyrical specifics haven't aged well, but the vocal arrangement is so dizzyingly thrilling that I just don't care if Dennis Edwards is sitting in a corner reciting poetry and Eddie Kendricks is burning patchouli on the shag rug.

Another BOS to Crabby Appleton, in the meantime.
