I Want Candy/ It's About My Baby

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. I was shocked to discover this is only the third Near Mint or better copy I've had in the store since opening in 2001, and this specimen certainly is a beauty! It has a small drillhole, but the labels are otherwise Mint. The vinyl looks untouched, and the audio is pristine Mint. It's hard to tell, because the mix is so "hot," but I don't hear any distortion or surface noise here: It's just really loud! As it was meant to be when piped out of tiny AM radio speakers as was so typical of the day (in your car or on your transistor radio!). The B side audio is also Mint.
