The Hard Times - I can't wait till Friday comes (GARAGE 60'S PUNK)

Top garage tune on Gray Ant. Released in 1966. Audio transfered from original 45. This song has been released on the Garage Punk Unknowns comp series.

Here's a comment from original band founder Fuzzy Pricer: "I am Fuzzy Pricer, founder of the Hard Times in 1964. I wrote this tune in a freezing tent in Montana and it was recorded in a basement in Accokeek Maryland. The flip side, "Old Wine, New Bottles" was written on a bet; it's done entirely with only one chord. We still get together once in a while. Maybe I'll upload some recent video. Both tunes were intended to sound like Mick and the boys."

Hey, this is Fuzzy again. Okay to upload "Old Wine, New Bottles" - It's on the flip side.

We dug Hard Times on "Where The Action Is", esp. Paul Wheatbread and Rudy Romero. We sent them gifts for birthdays and Christmas at their home in Laurel Canyon, LA. Thank you Hard Times for the fun we had as young teenage girls!

That's a different band to The Hard Times you are hearing in this vid. But they were a great band too. I love their version of Fortune Teller!

Kind of a gas to hear this on youtube. I am Fuzzy Pricer, founder of the Hard Times in 1964. I wrote this tune in a freezing tent in Montana and it was recorded in a basement in Accokeek Maryland. The flip side, "Old Wine, New Bottles" was written on a bet; it's done entirely with only one chord. We still get together once in a while. Maybe I'll upload some recent video. Both tunes were intended to sound like Mick and the boys.

Thanks for the comment and info. Your tune has become a garage rock classic! I'd be happy to upload "Old wine, new bottles" too, if you don't mind. Please let me know if you upload some recent videos, it would be cool to watch. Cheers.
