Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs- "On Tour" and "Their Second Album"



"On Tour" is the more solid of these two albums, and no, it's not a live album. Though many of the songs have some sort of "on the road" theme, it seems to me like more of an attempt to break away from the campy, spooky witch doctor type crap that bogged down "Their Second Album" in both song material AND image.
Ring Dang DO!

...but this album isn't bad. The second side is unfortunately a series of uninspired covers (reeks of record label pressure). Just check out the last six tracks to see what I mean. But this record does have 'Ju Ju Hand' and 'Medicine Man.' No going wrong there.
What's a little hard drive space to find out for yourself?

Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs- Li'l Red Riding Hood





These guys complete and total lack of seriousness never loses its charm. Too bad it's not seen in bands these days.
These guys were the Ramones of the 60's. Almost every song sounded exactly the same and they were one of the few bands who could pull it off. Even if a lot of songs are based on nursery rhymes. If you take it seriously, you may not enjoy it...so don't!
If you've heard "Li'l Red Riding Hood" or "Wooly Bully," you know what to expect...great times and silly tunes.

1) Li'l Red Riding Hood
2) Hanky Panky
3) Deputy Dog
4) Green'ich Grendel
5) Mary is my Little Lamb
6) Sweet Talk
7) El Toro De Goro (The Peace Loving Bull)
8) The Phantom
9) Little Miss Muffet
10) Pharaoh-A-Go-Go
11) Ring Them Bells
12) Grasshopper

and also the single with a non-LP B-side, "Love Me Like Before."
Great stuff.
