Written by bassist John Fleck, the Standells still perform "All Fall Down" in concert today. John is also still in the group! Visit the Standells official Facebook page to learn more.

I had the pleasure of meeting the three surviving Standells at Cavestomp some years ago. Oh, from what I read, Gordon McClendon was a churchgoer and a steward, but not a preacher.
Trivia note: Tony Valentino's fave Standells album was "Dirty Water".

All Fall Down - The Standells [Los Angeles, California] - 1967 - "Good first impression with this Psychedelic Pop song. Very good vocals." - The Hot Ones!/Try It [import] (Big Beat Records UK)-1993.

@Ardbug Thanks for sharing the song! I've really enjoyed the ease of finding pretty much any garage classic on here, as well as b-sides and such that are a pain to get elsewhere.

Gordon McLendon was a very powerful radio station owner (KLIF in Dallas). Yes, Gordon was of the 'moral majority' ilk, and "Try It" couldn't pass muster with his committee for decency in record lyrics. Many other stations followed his lead and wouldn't play what was deemed by Billboard as the Standells 'next chart hit'. The Standells debated him and kicked his ass on the Art Linkletter show, but by then "Try It' was destroyed. By the way, there wasn't one 'dirty' word in the song!

a more pointed outing from these Angelinos...the l.p. was partially banned when a Texas preacher didn't find the luvin connotation of the title track to be proper, also these guys stuck up for (and were!) the kids in the police curfew youth crackdown on the Sunset Strip summer of '66...they wrote THE classic track about it (also contained in this album, and conveniently banned!)
