Hanky Panky/ Thunderbolt

Originally released on Roulette 4686. This was the group's first Roulette release, a reissue of songs they had originally recorded and released on smaller labels in 1963, when they were known as just "The Shondells." In that original incarnation, the group was mostly an instrumental surf-rock band, and that's clear if you listen to the terrific B side rocker! Besides being a surpringly good surf instrumental, it's also interesting to note that the chord progression is identical to that in "Hanky Panky." By the way, the B side is a non-album cut.
