My friend was a huge 60’s garage collector and I recall the day he purchased this 45 from a seller in Goldmine in 1979. I was there when it arrived and he played it for me as I had never heard it. Loved it ever since.
@@Mario_DiSanto Also man, I’m starting a psychedelic garage band! Found a few musicians I’m jamming with this weekend, even found a guy to play my Yamaha yc10 combo organ! I’ll probably play a few of my originals from my UA-cam. Should be fun!
In the 1960s, seventies and eighties, my parents were sold on Oldsmobile and we had a 1965 Jetstar 88, a 1970 Delta 88, a 1976 Cutlass Supreme and a 1986 Cutlass Supreme Brougham. Taking a man's Oldsmobile is a sin! ;-)
My first car was a 1989 Oldsmobile 88 that I bought for $250 cash in 2010 when I was a senior in high school. Whenever I'd try to buy parts, I got so sick of the guy behind the counter asking "so is it an 89 or an 88?" But she ran so great. And was built like a tank. My buddies always called her the Love Machine hahaha Anyways, great lick. This song kicks.
Cool Old Car, google the pics. Reminds me Of My 1st car a 52 Chevy Deluxe 4 Door a Grammas car Bcz She gave It to me... Thanx Gramma. l8tr Drove off a Curb & The Engine Started Knocking, My Dad said main bearing Went Out So Drove It In The Grove & walked away. L8tr same problem in My 49 GMC & was Just a Buckled up oil Pan Into the Crankshaft. darn. ................. It was melted into Soup cans over 40 yrs ago. Back then They Were $50 "Run of The Mill" Beaters seemingly "All Over" Now They Are Extinct CLASSICS, = The Ones That Got Away................................................. Any One Got an Extra One? :)
@morten114 I just record them with the XP Sound Recorder as I listen to them(if I don't have them). I have this one from the Chosen Few Vol 2 comp(1983).
@cdadave83814 they made a couple of albums prior to this, Do the Slauson and another one i cant remember the name of that was based off a different dance
Believe it or not, Olds put out some decent cars before the 70s ... Rocket 88, original Toronado and of course the 442. Can't say much for anything they build after that
I just played this Marvel after listening to this incredibly dull tune, ugh!! On the other site, the comment's were turned off/ disabled??? Any idea's??? This is an Outstanding Tune/Super!!
One of the best records I own
Masterpiece!!! 1960`s Garage Rock For Ever!!!

Every single inch of groove on this single is perfect. Moments of magic happen every now and then in a studio and this is one fine example.
Hey Mario! Found you again in a dark groovy corner of UA-cam hahaha. just found this song while scrolling, it’s sooooo good!
@@StrawberryWindowpane I lurk in the darkness!

@@StrawberryWindowpane Hell yeah brother. Share the music when ya got something recorded.
@@Mario_DiSanto 100% man, I’ll let ya know!
In a sea of garage this tune is a standout.
If I could hit the like finger for this tune a 1000 times, I would :)
‘65 ‘66 Oldsmobile 88 was a badass ride. No wonder he’s pissed.😎✌🏽☮️🎸

The sounds of east los angeles!
60`S ROCK FOR EVER !!!!!!
You better believe it!!
Very killer bass at the beginning. This absolutely Rocks because " It was knocked out of Ballpark ".
This is one of the most funky songs I've ever heard! The tune is so catchy, it ranks up there with "Mystery Train" and "Niki Hoeky!"
Good news, Car Fax has recovered his Oldsmobile 88 and his ex-girlfriend was arrested.
Help me with the lyrics please....
Justice is served and all is well in the universe
I had a 1959 Olds Super 88 when I was a kid. It was a thrill in many ways.
Legendary East L.A. sound
STUNNINGLY KOOL!!!
I had a 1969 Olds 98 in 1978-79. What a ride. It survived the Chicago Blizzard of 1979!!! Plenty of great memories in the 69 "98"
Thank you for posting this track. It is a little known part of history.
Great chicano band
I love this track! My eighty-eight!!
the Romancers single,"Loves the Thing" got a fair amount of airplay in California`s Central Valley in 1965
rocknrollwerewolf
You're howling with this one
GREAT !
This should have been top ten.It was cursed because it was on a small label with no PR or money behind it.This song is GREAT!!!!
No payola
and now a monster rarity
I almost thought I saw The Ramones on the title of the 45.
what a great record
I love this song, also "Love's the Thing". This is a great band.
This is totally garage psych shaking my fuzz mobile! ;o)
Oh man!
I love this tune, but another song by them, "Love's the Thing," is ever greater!

How prophetic... but it was General Motors' execs who took Oldsmobile.

Max Uballez?

I'd be calling the cops, grand theft auto is a serious crime

Oh, yeah, Rocket 88s started in 49. Changes in the 54 but nothing like the 55 Hydramatic!!

Olds-mo-Buick?
Fomoco
Molds-moble?
The Batman did it..🦹♂️
Would have been a country song if he had a ford
It sounds a lot like Jack White! Maybe he was influenced by this song.
Kinda sounds like Gene Simmons on vox
terrible ! ! !
+GARAGE SURF SOUTH AMERICAN buddy! this shit rules!
