It turns out, though, that the record is actually by a guy named Vinnie Basile fronting a garage rock band called the Staccatos. That group had released these tracks under their own name the year before, and presumably Davy added Vinnie to the lineup as lead singer on the strength of his singing and/or his looks (we can't judge the latter, of course, cause Davy chose to promote his own mug rather than Vinnie's). Both sides are uptempo pop-garage rock nuggets, with a sound similar to the Standells or Leaves. In any case, this is a definite must for Davy Jones fans! You may have been looking in the wrong place for great likenesses of your idol.

Oh... did I mention that Davy's face is on not only the picture sleeve, but the custom 45 label as well!? At least on the record label, Davy put Vinnie's name, too. :-)
