If you know this San Jose band, you probably know the essay Lester Bangs wrote positively drooling over this album, which got him so excited he made up a bunch more Count Five LPs that didn't exist.

It features the hit single of the same name which reached number 5 in the Billboard charts in 1966 and was selected as one of the five hundred most influential songs in Rock n' Roll History by the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and is consistently ranked as one of the top Garage Rock songs of all time.
