Wooly Bully/ Ain't Gonna Move

Here's a beautiful copy of the promo release of the second MGM pressing of this swamp-rock classic. These tracks had earlier been released on MGM 13322 and before that on the small Texas label XL, a 45 that could fetch $1,000 or more if you find a Near Mint copy! :-) Besides the well-known and -loved A side, which Dave Marsh pegs at #78 in his Top 1,001 singles list, be sure to check out the totally cool blues-rock performance on the flip. This is precisely the kind of sound that British groups like the Animals and Stones were striving for at the time and is one of the foundations of what became known as "Garage Rock." (Check out the mp3 snippet we've added to our "jukebox.") By the way, this very short (2:05!) B side wasn't included on any of Sam The Sham's albums... it was a non-album cut available only this 45. Note: This promo 45 record comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. It has very nearly Mint labels and Near Mint-looking vinyl. I'm delighted to report that both sides of this important single have terrific audio — and man, is it a big sound! The B side audio sounds pristine, while the A side is close.
