Three From Three - That's what I say (60'S CRUDE GARAGE PUNK)

Awesome, rare and crude garage rocker on Champ!! Don't know jack about the band, but the Champ label was based in Johnson City, Tennessee. Edited: The band was from Pulaski, Virginia. Audio transferred from original vinyl 45.

Wow…Just found this on KZbin. I was 14 when we made this record. Am 70 now. I’ll have to tell Jimmy and Danny about this

[@Glendoras]

I must say that I love your record and to me it’s ahead of it’s time. In the 70’s there was a lot of do it yourself pop groups that had a similar sound to this. Do you have any recollection of the recording or any gigs you did back then? Would love to hear some background info! Your record is a real collectors item within record collectors of 60’s garage bands and your music is loved by many!

[@TheLarryburns84]

when in the 60s was this if you can remember ? sounds like the later half of that decade to me! this is an excellent little 45, makes me wish you guys had gotten the chance at a full length or at least an EP!

[@captaineasychord1]

I’m a record enthusiast, collector and rock musician from Boston and this is the first time hearing your old band’s record, for a 14 year old that’s pretty damn good! There were hundreds of high school age kids who formed bands, many who cut a record or two then disappeared. Many of these are as great as anything the more widely popular, commercial groups were, and sometimes more so.

im 19 hearing it for the first time, hows that for a generational gap lol. great work btw.

The effect of this guitar is a pearl! Even if it's a supposed limitation of the recording, this song is very special. The boys did a great job!

[@larrybralley1942]

It’s amazing that James Clark (my cousin, Jimmy) lead guitar (vocalist on Sad Lovers Live Today) was only 16, Mike Bond on bass (vocalist on That’s What I Say was 14, and drummer, Danny Boggs was 16 if I’m not mistaken. Jimmy has been in several bands throughout the years, until recently. I’d love for The Three From There to have a reunion! I’d be there! I’ve always idolized Jimmy.

[@Glendoras]

I missed your comment and just now saw this. Many thanks for the info! This 45 is a huge favorite and will never leave my collection. I think they were ahead of their time with these tunes.

[@larrybralley1942]

@@Glendoras Thank you so much! The more I hear it, the better I like it. I still have my 45, but it's in fair (but playable) condition. I really appreciate your response! It's actually the first response I've ever received from a comment of mine!

@@larrybralley1942 Great that you have a copy of the 45, they are quite rare. I try to reply as much as I can and I really appreciate comments like yours with info about the bands I’ve uploaded. Did Jimmy release any other 45’s after this one? Many thanks for your comments!

[@larrybralley1942]

@@Glendoras That was the only record they made. They won a talent show at Pulaski High School. (There were several boy bands there, thanks to the "British Invasion".) Anyway, the best I remember (I was 6 years old), the 1st prize was getting to go to Johnson City TN to cut a record. I need to ask Jimmy if he has more copies. He lives 3 houses down from me in Dublin VA. I really appreciate your sincere interest!

[@Glendoras]

@@larrybralley1942 That must have been amazing, a dream come true for the band to win a recording session and release a record! If he doesn’t already know, tell him there is a younger generation who really likes the record and that it’s a collectable gem among fans of garage rock. It has been compiled on a popular LP volume called Teenage Shutdown with other similar bands. I live in Stockholm, Sweden, and got the 45 through eBay a few years ago. I sometimes play That’s what I say when I DJ around the bars in Stockholm. I bet they never saw that coming when they released the 45 some 54 years ago! 😉

Love it ! Their sound, their young age, they make me think of The Groupies.

[@gwugluud]

This bands' name is definitely much less embarriskin than "The Groupies".

Raw, crude, and rude. The way I like it. You mentioning not knowing jack about the band makes me laugh, in a good way.

Love the early punk / psych the authentic psych music.

If I didn't know better (thanks to you!) , I'd say this was a London punk group circa 1979. Awesome!

[@jamesclark1971]

@@Glendoras Summer '66 I think.

[@larrybralley1942]

A mistake was made on the label. The actual name of the group is "Three From There". There, is Pulaski Virginia.

[@thomassmith8721]

@@Glendoras Crude, raw, gritty, unrefined garage. Mojo, it's not the first time a record label screwed up the spelling of a band's name. I've noticed that labels get the name right, but include apostrophes when there shouldn't be any or they don't include an apostrophe when there should be one. Sometimes you may not notice it right away. It's a small technically, but it's an error none-the-less. Someone else left a comment that the correct name should have been Three From There not Three From Three You can see how they reversed the "e" and the "r" An easy mistake, but unacceptable. You wouldn't want your name spelled Mooj Mathias in the credits on one of your songs. Cheers, Mojo

Can't get any rougher than this similar to the Stones.
