@lpeeko It was not Georgie Fame, or 'The Kinks', I was singing on both sides!! my name is Ron Ryan, and the Band is 'The Riot Squad' (with Mitch Mitchell on drums). I wrote the 'Gonna make you mine'. The only involvement Larry Page had is that he was the Bands manager.
I found this 45 in a MISC bin at my local record store, bought it, and loved it. One side was Georgie Fame and the other, The Kinks. Not surprising that Larry Page (The Teenage Rage!) was involved with it. My copy didn't have a picture sleeve, just a cut-out hole - but who cared? It was pretty damn good. Maybe not a Top 40 hit, perhaps, but definitely HOT 100 material. Thanks for your comments, ronvonryan. It's cool to be able to hear about obscure records from the horse's mouth. SEE NEXT POST.
I was the bloke who started this Band (Ron Ryan), and discovered a young unknown drummer 'Mitch Mitchell' (who is drumming on this). I did not want to record 'I wanna talk', but our Manager (Larry Page) insisted that we did, so for a laugh I borrowed a friend of mines voice 'Georgie Fame) and sung it like he would have done it. It was a great Band, and we did some great Gigs and a few TV shows. When I left a singer called David Bowie took my place, I wonder what happened to him?
@lpeeko I think it's done by Joe Meek at his flat.

May I ask, please? Was this recorded at Pye Studios, #2? The famous IBC on Portland Place? Regent Sound?
