Fueled by a classy high-stepping image and hot instrumental licks born of old R\u0026amp;B and Northwest stalwarts the Kingsmen, Wailers and Sonics, this collection shows their always excellent material ranging from '60s punk to sunshine pop -  Includes their debut single!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn many ways they were one of the quintessential Northwest bands. Their credentials were impeccable - leader Don Gallucci was a classically trained pianist who, as a younger teenager, played keyboards for the Kingsmen on 'Louie, Louie.' Early guitarist Pete Oulette had been in the Raiders and his replacement, Jim Valley, had founded the white hot Seattle band the Viceroys. When Valley got the call to become 'Harpo,' his slot was filled by Charlie Coe, who had played with the Raiders and Jack Ely and the Courtmen. And the last Goodtime guitarist was Joey Newman, who had made his mark with the Enchanters and Merrilee Rush and the Turnabouts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir only hit single, 'I Could Be So Good to You,' a Jack Nitzsche song, was their only national hit (#56) in spring 1967. Their Nitzsche-produced Epic album So Good was a curious amalgam of Overman originals and British Invasion covers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir earlier sound is much more raw - 'You Were Just a Child' could have been a national hit. The dynamics and bridge in this are killer, as is the pulverizing fuzz bass. 'I'm Real' may be the punkiest Don and the Goodtimes got; Note the cool reference to LA disc jockey 'The Real' Don Steele. Other cuts like like 'Make It' are as Northwest as they come. Rough and raunchy, this hot instrumental was the B side of their first single.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54455102308737,"sku":"2306308","price":35.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0090771018212.jpg?v=1751686823","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2306308","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
