Here's another classic Aussie disc, this time from 1967 and courtesy of Melbourne's Cherokees. The A-side is a slightly bizarre beat take on Cab Calloway's 'Minnie The Moocher' and I guess it works on it's own terms as a likeable piece of novelty that saw fair chart and radio action for the band.
The CHEROKEES- Minnie The Moocher
But, as so often the case, the real dark meat is lurking on the B-side. 'I've Gone Wild' lives up to it's title; a brooding slab of prime freakbeat with uk mod-style vocals and an excellent psychedelic guitar effect- I'm afraid my copy is a little beat up, but you'll get the idea.
