"The local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn there song" , from the Monkees "Pleasant Valley Sunday" is allegedly about The Myddle Class, a garage band from nearby Union County, NJ that recorded several Goffin/King songs, including "I Happen To Love You".
@truethought62 - actually it was December 11, 1965 - 8 p.m. - Admission $ 2.50...I have a flyer, being a nerd about the Velvets...they briefly shared the same manager, Al Aronowitz... :))
You're right, COGENTCOG--I've seen the flyer, as well--in Ugly Things magazine--should've remembered that date!

Why hasn't this group gotten a proper issue of their output on CD?
C'mon music industry powers that be, show some fortitude and respect for this band and it's music.

They once shared the stage with the Velvet Underground at Summit H.S. in New Jersey in 1966--now there's a Lou Reed connection if you want it!

Sounds like Lou Reed a little bit...

Yes, they do a great version with this one. If this got more exposure it would have been a big hit.

SunDazed or Rhino or someone - needs to release The Myddle Class on CD. It's too long overdue!
