1965 was the guitar sound clean and clear. The fuzzbox madeits entrance in 1966. Compare Count Five with for example THE ZETTLERS. 1965 they recorded "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah". Incredibly tight and with a fantastic drive. And, check out the sound of the guitar and bass. It is interesting to see how the ideals of sound change between 1965 and 1966.
Double Decker Bus - The Count Five [San Jose, California] - 1966 - "HAS ALL THE ELEMENTS that us Garage-Heads love." - Psychotic Revelation: The Ultimate Count Five (Big Beat)-2003. - Psychotic Revelation: The Ultimate Count Five (Big Beat)-2003.
Only discovered this band recently and love them - YouTube is so good for random discoveries. Used to catch a Routemaster to school back in the 70s - they were a bit slower than the tempo of this song
Good song, obviously influenced by The Yardbirds. The Five were also one of the few circa-'66 US bands into The Who; their one album features covers of "My Generation" and its B-side, "Out in the Street". A classic Sixties garage band, responsible for one of rock's great proto-punk hit singles. Thanks for posting this!
Ahh...........music from the mid 60s!

I love this song. Psychedellic paranoia at it's finest and most compressed, with the exception of Talk Talk by the Music Machine.

Thanks for posting this song - i'm really getting into 60s garage music recently. Is this song originally by The Count Five?

As far as I'm aware it is one of their originals. Byrne is credited as one of the two composers.

The Routemaster is the best bus that London ever had on its streets. I think that they should be put back on all of London's bus routes.

Yes, the old buses were much better than these new things.
