WE THE PEOPLE "You Burn Me Up And Down" b/w "In The Past" (OKtay Records OK-002)
Brand new limited edition vinyl 7"—only 500 copies pressed!
Deadly ’66 garage double-sider!
This beautifully pressed seven-inch single pairs two of the greatest tracks by Florida’s We the People: the savage, feedback-laced punker “You Burn Me Up and Down”, and the transcendent psychedelic garage classic “In the Past”. A-side mastered in high fidelity mono from a mint copy of the original Challenge single, B-side from the original master tape.
Tommy Talton wrote the A-side, which he describes as “raw hormonal rock. Discovering sex and love and volume! Written when I was rebellious and discovering the power of music.” The B-side, written by Wayne Proctor, features him playing an exotic, Eastern-style instrument called the octachord for a sitar-like effect. It was later covered by the Chocolate Watchband.
