I Want Candy/ It's About My Baby

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole. Is this Garage Rock? Psychedelic Rock (as someone on Discogs seems to think... ?)? The Strangeloves were a studio group, a project for prolific and popular songwriter/producers Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein and Richard Gottehrer. (They wrote/produced The Angels' hit "My Boyfriend's Back," for example.) "Candy" is one of the major topics of Bubblegum Rock, and being a studio band is also a giveaway. But the grungy noise sure sounds like Garage Rock, and some of their singles are definitely in that genre. Note: Some of these copies have some ink "ghosting" from the manufacturing process, so the labels look a little "dirty" (see scan). The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio is pristine.
