Editorial Reviews

"Little Girl," the Syndicate of Sound's swaggering top ten single from the summer of 1966 was a song that defined, if not a generation, at least a genre. We present the world's first reissue of the original Syndicate album -- with four killer non-LP single sides added, unseen photos, new notes culled from interviews with the Syndicate and more! --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Syndicate Of Sound - 'Little Girl' (Sundazed) 3 1/2 stars, April 28, 2006

This review is from: Little Girl (Audio CD)

Can't believe that no one else has ever bothered to review this CD reissue. Also didn't know this short-lived band had just one actual lp out. Total of sixteen tracks, likely that it's probably Syndicate Of Sound's entire repertoire or at least close to it. Originally put out in 1966, as most of you might remember the snappy two-and-a-half minute ditty "Little Girl", apparently their sole hit. Other happening cuts here include "I'm Alive", "Dream Baby", "Lookin' For The Good Times", the should've-been-a-hit "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby?" and "Upper Hand". Basically, just good garage rock & roll. Line-up: Don Baskin - guitar & vocalist, Jim Sawyer - guitar, John Sharkley - guitarist & keyboardist, Bob Gonzalez - bass and John Duckworth - drums. Should appeal to fans of Music Machine, The Seeds,Count Five, Standells and The Leaves.

This group was from San Jose, Calif. And yes, there big hit was Little Girl. They had a minor hit Mary which was only released on a 45 but is now included in this album for the 1st time. GREAT oldies Band.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Little Girl (Audio CD)

I bought this album as a teen in the 60s, got rid of it by decade's end, but recently purchased the expanded CD on the strength of the terrific "Rumors" on the new "Love Is the Song We Sing" box set. But my teen self was right: aside from "Rumors" and the sassy "Little Girl," the CD consists mostly of weak covers and derivitive originals. (Even "Rumors" nicks its chorus from Donovan's "The Trip.") The SoS could play in a variety of musical styles, but that doesn't make up for the overall blandness.
