The trio hit their stride in the mid-60s with a varied portfolio that
included the #1s ‘Hang On Sloopy’ by the McCoys and ‘My
Boyfriend’s Back’ by the Angels – and several chart makers by the
Strangeloves, the selfsame threesome masquerading as a rock band. Initially,
they specialized in girl
groups – some real, some fabricated – and applied their distinctive touch
to every one before moving into the rock field.
“Smash, Boom, Bang!” is exciting stuff from end to end, much of it new to
CD and all held together by the distinctive F-G-G production imprimatur. This
collection comes to you with the full co-operation and involvement of Feldman,
Goldstein and Gottehrer themselves and comes with a sumptuous
28-page booklet packed with rare memorabilia.
