Five By Five -- Fire/ Hang Up 45'

  Garage Punk outfit Five By Five ... there aren't too many surprises here, a career 60's cover band.  For example their A-side is a cover of Hendrix's Fire, which is passable but not something to write home about.  Now the B-side is a full on Psych'd out 60's Punk number a la Music Machine.  You should have seen my face of astonishment the first time I heard it ... I literally had to pick my jaw up from off the floor, like I had just seen the most bodacious babe ... I found this bad boy at the local pawn shop, thinking it's on Paula records, it might have some merit, but had no idea I was on the verge of finding a total gem!
