In 1967, a bunch of US and Argentinean kids recorded a magical album which has remained unknown for many years due to its extreme rarity, with less than a handful known copies to exist.
Released in 1968 in Argentina by a label called Phonexa, the Schibbinz album could be regarded as the ultimate teen garage folk- rock album ever.
An album of fragile beauty, full of teen charm, innocent vocals, jangly guitars, charming lo- fi sound and lost- in- time atmosphere.
It has the look and sound that can only be found on some USA 60s private pressings like Rising Storm or Summer Sounds.
But Schibbinz music is something else.
''How did this group record, at such a young age, one of the most beautiful examples of pop psyche / garage of the Sixties? The feeling of urgency in the songs is tangible at every listen, and the synthesis of garage / pop was never so perfect. This record is essential." - The Strange Experience Of Music Blog...
"Impossible but true! Schibbinz released a record in Argentina in early 1968 that sounds like Peter Paul & Mary as realized by the Tower Recordings.
The product of three American teenagers and one Argentinian, there have been doubts raised to the claims that musicians aged 15 through 17 made this music, let alone the time and place of the recording -- especially now, where its lo-fi charms and four-part vocal harmonies makes it the ultimate Captured Track -- but apparently this was on the state record company, Phonexa, and the label blew through the pressing weeks before the group disbanded. Anyone at all with an interest in twee-pop, juvenile folk, Wes Anderson films, the Everly Brothers, or the sought-after "magical" qualities about discovering an unbelievable record that few have heard, one which will shatter your purview into lollipop dust, needs to seek this one out. NOW. Livin' Free is a near-perfect record, the kind of record you search up and down over. Also, they have the greatest name I've seen in years. Schibbinz." - The Other Music Update

"Lady Jane" is a Rolling Stones' song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards featured on their 1966 album Aftermath.
In America Lady Jane was the B-side to "Mother's Little Helper", but "Lady Jane" reached #24 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart.
"Mother's Little Helper" reached # 8, making the release one one of the few singles with both songs becoming hits in the US.
It has an Elizabethan atmosphere with its lyrics and Brian Jones's dulcimer, without any drums on the studio version.
However, live recording have drums included.
The song was a part of their live act during their 1966 and 1967 tours.
They also performed the song during their fourth TV appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Since Jones's death in 1969, the Rolling Stones have not played the song.
The lyrics of Neil Young's 1975 song "Borrowed Tune" admit to using the melody of Lady Jane.
''I'm singin' this borrowed tune
I took from the Rolling Stones,
Alone in this empty room
Too wasted to write my own.''

Lyrics
My sweet Lady Jane
When I see you again
Your servant am I
And will humbly remain.
Just heed this plea my love
On bended knees my love
I pledge myself to Lady Jane.
My sweet Lady Anne
I've done what I can
I must take my leave
For promised I am.
This play is run my love
Your time has come my love
I've pledged my soul to Lady Jane.
Oh my sweet Marie
I wait at your ease
The sands have run out
For your lady and me.
Wedlock is nigh my love
Her station's right my love
Life is secure with Lady Jane.
