The title is "Werewolf" recorded by the Frantics On Dolton records.

@overbrookXXX thanks!

[chocolatebomb51]

cheers.

[TheBobbycrosby]

This song could "chart" today, I swear.

[chocolatebomb51]

which came first this version or the Ventures?

[xPunKurtx]

Where are they from??

[TheMagmagoblin]

I'm working a Washington-Oregon article and I'm putting this down as maybe the first psychedelic record.

[mielazul]

@TheMagmagoblin I couldn't believe this was from 1960! And look at those little kids in the picture - they must have been spooky little prodigies. BTW, check "Rosetta West - Low," for a later-era slice of spooky psych.

[SupernovaLaurisa]

where did good music like this go

[GWC1975]

The one person who disliked this song is afraid of the dark and sleeps with a nightlight on.

[666UFO666]

WoW very cool sound......

[Kchandler1012]

where can I find some more of these guys?

[CEETEEEFF13]

ventures rip off. not that that is a bad thing....

[singinjohnny]

@CEETEEEFF13 Actually the other way around. This was recorded in about 1960. The Ventures took this and renamed it on their "Ventures In Space" album from '63. I had a promotional copy of this record when I was about 10 years old.

[Breatherable]

@singinjohnny The Ventures renamed this track "The Fourth Dimension"

[70moparbaby]

just found out the frantics are from my own personal state of washington (western washington none the less)

[fishon3085]

@70moparbaby Ron Peterson of the Frantics was my band teacher around 1964 in Winlock wa.

[70moparbaby]

@fishon3085 no way!!! thats so awsome!!!!

[fishon3085]

@70moparbaby Only once did he ever tell me about his band.It was at a school record dance and I was in charge of the music and I played a song called Fogcutter and he came right over to the "record player".He told me that was his band.I was really impressed!

[70moparbaby]

@fishon3085 man what a cool guy! not even a showboat or anything just humble and awsome! how long ago was this?

[fishon3085]

@70moparbaby It was probably 1965.Sad thing was the high school jock qtrback came over and jerked the record off the player and scratched the record and wanted to know who put that on.Promptly put something else on.Iwas embarassed for him. Sad for Ron.That is him with guitar and knee up. I went on to play music in different bands for 20 years.

[70moparbaby]

@fishon3085 wow haha what a meanie huh! taht still a pretty cool story though!

[HumanPuddingPgh]

@fishon3085 Should have broke his throwing arm dude!

[consul1957]

Must be a Fender Jag guitar!

[ahitler1000]

very classy tune, . . .

[nicademus666]

this could be a song by the Swiss group Yello.

[RareNoiseUploads]

@nicademus666 I never thought of that but your right. I can totally hear them doing this song.

[nicademus666]

@RareNoiseUploads it also sounds eerily  like the Residents version of Kaw-Liga...

[goterama]

this is a great song!

[mountainwulfaki]

This picture was taken before Werewolf was recorded. I think Ron Peterson, guitar, and Chuck Schonig, accordian, were only 15 0r 116 in this picture.

[prospectus91]

@mountainwulfaki

LOL! I noticed there was no accordion in this song!

[UncleMike43]

The name of the group is " The Frantics " and Nina's music has their CD and it's all great.

[Caligula138]

Awesome!
