Two faces of the mid-sixties, then
A Mods, eh? Hippies (ptui-clang) in waiting. Naming themselves after drinamyl (big pharma, kiddies, just say no - in fact, say no, fuck off with that kiddie's speedball shit, give me some PROPER DRUGS) was a gauche move, although the singer does move like Ian Curtis blocked on speed, and lip-synchs like he's never heard the record before. Why was there never a mod group called Black Bombers? Fucking lightweights. Brit bands covering US R&B had a high Ugh factor, anyway, and this lot, trousers a GOLFER would baulk at and all, multiply that. And all you WAZZOcKS creaming over the guitar sound? What do you use for EARS? Velvet Underground??? It is to laugh, in fact it is to PUKE. Voluminously. 2/10
I bought B when it came out (Yeah I'm old - so sue me) along with a lot of other PR&tR singles, which was a COOL and indeed EDGY thing to do in the UK, where they always meant diddley-not-Bo. I was on-board as early as Like Longhair. I'm a bit embarrassed by it now, of course, because age and digital remastering has tamed it utterly, and of course its anti-DRUGS message - unless we're talking purple hearts, natch. 3.5/10, for the memories.
B

I'll go for A, they're from my era as a teenager but I don't remember them. Some great moves from the singer but there's the beginnings of a double chin there. I should like Paul Revere and the raiders more but I don't.

my mum has worst music taste than harv, so no chance of that. It wasn't her music taste I had in mind A, just tips on dealing with her BEAMISH BOY. But props for not casting me as the exemplar of BAD TASTE.
