| This one's a total mystery to me, the Catsanovas on Check Mate in cool blue vinyl. I doubt these were teens in a garage, more likely a professional show band, as the flip side sax instro "Flight Stewardess" sounds like vintage '62 roadhouse, even if it was recorded in '65 or '66. That song's never been comped by the way.
Top side is the great reverb groover "I Want to Be Loved", where maybe the horn player puts down his sax to take a shot at singing. He does a good job, but the guitarist shines on the chorus, plus the rhythm section is solid. Songwriting credits go to the band, production by Shirley Mallory Enterprises, published by Jakk Music. And that's all I know right now... Catsanovas - I Want to Be Loved |

"I Want To Be Loved" been comped...
