Christopher & the Chaps | They Just Don’t Care | (Fontana) 1965 | Here’s a collectable 45 for folk-rock lovers and Left Banke fans. Christopher & the Chaps hailed from Long Island, NY and included in their ranks Michael Lookofsky a.k.a. Michael Brown who later became a member of The Left Banke.

Christopher & the Chaps | They Just Don’t Care | (Fontana) 1965

”They Just Don’t Care” is a gritty protest song in the folk-rock tradition of ’65. It was compiled on ”From The New World” on the short lived ’Strange Things’ label. I wrote about this compilation some time ago as it’s one of my favourites.

The other side has a vibrant rendition of the Bob Dylan tune ”It’s Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleeding.”

Transistor Pop | Podcast

TRANSISTOR POP

the ‘Transistor Pop’ podcast has been created in conjunction with my YouTube Channel and will become the definitive place to be for your regular prescription of exciting music and sounds from a time long gone and fading fast in people’s memories.

I will explore 1960s teenbeat, folk-rock, fuzz & Farfisa mayhem, psychedelia and bubblegum pop with random excursions into post-sixties garage punk . . . all interspersed with vintage radio adverts and movie promos.

The format is tight and totally wired: 8 songs, 4 adverts, and your expanded mind. Every mix will meet my high standards of sound quality. All uploads are in FLAC. Bring your own beer and acid.
