"Sure the sound is muddy, but the equipment was primitive to say the least. These live recordings by Manhasset Long Island's own Outcasts recall the halcyon days of my own mis-spent youth. The Outcasts were featured at local church dances, (The Christ Church & The Congreational Church in Manahsset) country clubs and those great Battle of the Bands, where they duked it out againt the local compition, The Rogues, Dark-Side and The Cellar Dwellers. They even managed an appearence on the local Sunday morning show "Sonny Fox's Wonderama". Check this baby out especially if you were there way back in the mid sixties. Listen to Mark, Brian, Bobby, Bruce and Chuck as they cover The likes of Hey Joe, Hang On Sloopy, Gloria, Midnight Hour and Love Potion Number 9 (or was it Love Potion 69). I sure had a blast at those old church dances and this set really brings back a bundle of memories from those magical days."
