The Royal Guardsmen-Baby Let's Wait

Originally written and cut by The Young Rascals, this was a version by those Snoopy guys. Got some regional airplay in my home town. Enjoy!

I always listened to the flip side of everything I bought and dicovered this on the flip of Snoopy vs. the Red Baron when I was young with raging hormones!!

I was a big fan of flip sides myself. Often the flip was better than the so-called hit.

Wow! The guys who cut

"Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" doing this bona fide hunk o' blue-eyed soul! Wha'da thunk it...

[garageband66]

Not me.

What a great song! Believe it or not, Alice Cooper's high school band, The Spiders, covered this song live A LOT and even recorded it at Copperstate Studios when they had some down-time recording their first single. You can find it on some bootlegs. Both versions are just amazing! Thanks for posting this!

Nice song - let's do it and say we didn't!

great song, i also think it was their best and its ironic that no oldies but goodies stations ever play this. thanks for the song.

Beautiful - I'd like to hear more from these guys when they weren't flying the Snoopy skies. (And in this age of TSA pre-flight security, it kinda is the "snoopy" skies...lol)

Note re. vintage mixing techniques. Opinion only but an exquisitely executed mix (for that era). Obviously money was spent here as this recording appears meticulously constructed and finalized using a facility that offered lush chamber reverberation effects.

Here one can also appreciate the value of an excellent vocal microphone in the hands of an engineer that understood dynamics processing and "gain structure"

Thanks. Very nice audio quality in this upload

Sex leads to poverty. How true that is............

[jmen4ever]

Their best song, even if not their biggest seller.

My favorite version of this song. Better than The Rascals. I like the sound of the organ much better here.

[boners2nite]

Rascal's version is better, but this ain't bad.

I've never heard this before and just love it. Beautiful yearning in the vocal, very respectful to the original. Not many acts dared a treatment of a song done so well by a band as musically savvy as the Rascals (does anyone remember how they eclipsed John Lennon and the gigantic Plastic Ono Band when they shared the bill on a famous fundraiser?) Thank you for sharing this gem.

Sort of a "daring" song for the time it came out in the 60's...but still good with a good message that some teens could listen to today.

@Widowsmight I still have the album packed away with my old LP's. I used to listen to it often. Love this song and all the rest of them on the album. "Bears...everywhere..beware..l­ookout lookout...beware...lookout lookout...bears..they don't care who they scare..you better beware....Peanut..Peanut Butter...I like Sweet meats yeah...you know that I do...Hey there litle Red Riding Hood...you sure are looking good..you're everything..a big bad Wolf would want" and the rest. What great memories.
