Usually blue vinyl record. I have seen a red one too ! Do you have this brillant single ?

[@williamwoody7607]

How on god’s green earth could something this good be forgotten and obscure?

[@shelleyganz9095]

Sadly, no promo...ugh!! Great Tune!!

[@joegongora2200]

Perhaps the song didn't receive any airplay and that's sad. Another band gone to the wayside and in time forgotten. That's sad because they weren't given a chance at the big time. Thanks for Y-Tube because we get to listen to these great songs.

[@mountainrain-px6ih]

Keep rocking to the core

[@benjaminwright9602]

For anyone curious about the band, they only ever recorded two songs. This, and the B-side called "Flight Stewardess". There's no photos, no live recordings, nothing. From what anyone can tell this single was pressed for a short period in 1966 on blue vinyl, and never reissued. It has shown up on a handful of "60s garage pop" compilation CDs, but no one really knows who these guys were, or how many of these records are in existence. What's even weirder is that the Check Mate record label only appears on one other record, a single called "Rock-A-Bye Baby" by some singer named Johnny Fiore, and it is also pressed on blue vinyl.

[@thomasbaumgartner3032]

I love it so much, would give anything for it [e-mail]

[@appaloosa1]

Just like many other garage bands, minus the blue vinyl

[@paynsiclesproductions9316]

I wonder if checkmate was affiliated with Chess or Checker records.

[@JRFrancisco20088]

Great song and band name. I want a t-shirt with "The Catsanovas" on it.

[@lechanneldemysterieuxmante1807]

The Mystery makes it all the cooler. I love obscure art stories, brilliant nearly unread novels found in thrift shops, obscure horror flicks seen by few but the stuff of legend, and fun obscure garage/surf/punk/trash/exotica which is shrouded in mystery.

[@jejune14]

Perfect - so rare, so true. Rockabilly madness and 60's punk. I wanna marry this.

[@chucknorrisgunclub2184]

This song slaps and it works today as well as it ever did.

[@cesarnarro6013]

Yes this one is also going on my 60's garage band's playlist

[@aidenstriffler512]

I think making a playlist of 60s rock was one of my better decisions as it opened me up to this.

[@juanalbertorendonsalazar1908]

Ecxlencia musical

[@frantisektkakafrankt634]

This is excellent.

[@luvhatpunk9453]

Good Gawd! This song gets it! The guitar in the chorus is so cool!!!

[@YakmanOx]

Complete rock n roll, sounds The Cult, mixed with some Rolling Stones and the Kinks. And a little Jefferson Airplane. And to think this is some vintage, virgin protopunk garage. Good find!!

[@paynsiclesproductions9316]

Oh yeah with Gracie on vocals? Heaven.

[@skaidie]

exceptional and yet so unknown in the Netherlands

[@jimulmer7204]

very rare record the last time one sold about $600 fantastic garage

VERY KOOL...LUV THIS GEM, So Great...

[@nadiaa2748]

I like that song a lot and for some reason, the singing reminds me of Joey Ramone, and what a cool name to boot.

[@Easychord2]

I love this song so much.

[@tomrowan293]

Garage will always be # 1

[@lotharreiter2631]

Jeder Song ist wie Gold Staub und ich bin auf der Suche nach diesen alten Hits ,deren Namen und Interpreten ich nur noch mit Glück im Internet finden kann .Gerade sie waren oft die Fundamente der späteren sogenannten Nr 1 Hits .

[@mattjammy9884]

An absolute floor banger!!!!

[@caesarsneezer6992]

Garage rock all sounds the same. THATS WHY I LIKE IT!!

[@CyborgCat]

I mean it's the same genre so like of course it will be the same but because it's the same when you are coming to listen to that style you know exactly what you are coming for haha 😉👌

[@dalesmart9041]

im not your stepping stoooooooooooonnnnnnnnEeeeeeeeEee mixed with kinks n doorz..i love it too

[@murph6163]

Fantastic guitar sound.

[@charlesameyer1]

Cool AF! It goes right on my garage rock playlist

[@annekaelliot5417]

I am so happy my parents introduced me to old music, pop-songs nowadays are just awful

[@joegongora2200]

It's that this band sounds great and yet no one knows who they are. If someone does, why don't they step forward before it's too late? It's great if we ever know who these guys were.

[@strickly60s78]

Garage Guitar Hooks Accompanied By Talented Vocals. I'm "hooked". Thanks. "Strickly". 60's

[@theaudiorecordist8514]

I love this track! This Strongly reminds me of another underrated garage tune ‘Put You Down’ by The Rogues 🎶

[@jamesfroberg3590]

Thanks man. This is a primo jam. 66 years young and I still wow the youngsters at the gym when I bust into the twist and swim with this on the buds. Rock n Roll will never die.

[@thesoundstation_]

Great garage rock n roll tune! Love the guitar tone and the Chuck Berry'esque riffs!

[@smj999smj]

Proof Rock and Roll never forgets!

[@brucegordon7248]

I was check-mated in only six moves, after I played this song.

[@nickdiamond7595]

As raw as it gets. Even for the '60s.

[@SirFunksalot-u2k]

I hear all of the day and all of the night and silver machine at the same time awesome!

[@dukeoffuzz67]

Great hook. Love this tune. 10 out of 10. Keep it simple eh!!

[@tominnc315]

Classic 60s garage punk! Awesomeness

[@bodhiapurva3887]

This song is basic but tuneful and well crafted. The drummer sounds crude, almost reminds me of a mate called Yian who was a lead guitarist but learned a few beats on a drum kit and did a few gigs for a 3 piece group called Far Canal. They did a cover of the Police's Message in a bottle renaming it; Massage in a brothel.

[@adamtidwell7224]

Other good obscure bands include: The daughters of eve Loreen church The shaynes The girls The starlets

[@RychleTube]

That chorus is mighty

[@zoetdonaire]

very refined primitivity! great

[@thesoundstation_]

Eric Trinitecos Great way to put it! I love it!

[@pizzarellayt]

One of the deepest non-remastered 60s bass sounds I've ever heard! And yet, it's so quiet.

[@fredsherwood9009]

Fun listen. Gotta love the band name!

[@john111257]

Brilliant find

Of course this would be the only record ever of this group. Someone needs to cover it immediately.

Neat song!

[@efiaxarli481]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Jorick_73]

good song. from time to time i hear theme "hello, i love you" by the Doors

[@101Restoration]

A direct influence on the "punk" music of the 1970s with the Ramones, Sex Pistols and The Clash. Why does this song remind me of Johnny Rotten? This is the original PUNK music

[@tonymack66]

@van wray But, The Doors ripped off The Kinks before The Pistols for their song 'Hello, I Love You'.

[@rogerbacon6039]

i think people miss the point, no groups will EVER be able to imitate that mid-60s garage sound. It was the perfect combination of young people, drugs and vintage equipment. The 70s punk thing was of course amazing, but I wouldn't compare it to this, not in a million years.

[@fredsherwood9009]

brent h For some of us it was challenging enough just to get our hands on a six-pack back then.

[@nikolaosmosxakis3395]

VERY WELL.................................

[@KingOFuh]

Great little band from Kitty Hawk, NC. Burning members were Meowcom McDowell-guitar & lead vocal, Benny the Ball-guitar & vocal, Katz Stevens-guitar, Felicia Furr-bass, Heaven T. Murgatroyd-drums. McDowell was the top cat, the indisputable leader of the band.

So who owns the song? If Wes Anderson wanted to put in a movie, who would he talk to? Who would he pay? What’s a Catsanova?

超棒的搖滾音樂

[@jonrogers5765]

The "primitivity with a bit of jangle" reminds me of early R.E.M - a very young Peter Buck's jangling guitar runs through the song. This is GOLD!

A mashup of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
