I love the song Stop! Get A Ticket....it's on the Nuggets box set.

This could be a possibility.

Very enjoyable CD. .....if you have a big '60's collection, this should be a part of it.

It's mostly a garage/folk Jefferson Airplane meets Byrds meets Gloria riff sound. The original songs are very good, and they do a good job of the covers....esp. Sunshine Superman.

No liner notes at all.

Thanks Charles. I will get this based on your review, this stuff is right up my alley.
Sad about no liner notes though.

Never heard of them, but I am obsessed with the year 1966, so this one goes on the list! Great that they can still unearth obscurities from so long ago.

Received the disc Charles had noted over the weekend. He's correct, this is a disc belongs in a 60's collection that seems never to stop growing at my house. Enjoy it very much even though Stop! Get A Ticket are of the 3 of last 5 tracks.
My girlfriend thought that the CD player was acting up.

Sounds encouraging..I'm going to sample it now.

Best remembered for their folk-rock cult classic "Stop! Get a Ticket," the Clefs of Lavender Hill were led by singers/guitarists Travis and Coventry Fairchild, in reality Brooklyn-born brother and sister Joseph and Lorraine Ximenes. Settling in Miami in 1966, the siblings recruited bassist Bill Moss and his brother drummer Fred, late of the local band the Twilights (noted for their lone single, 1965's "She's There"), and soon issued their first Clefs of Lavender Hill single, the Thames label release "First Tell Me Why." However, Miami radio instead seized on the B-side, "Stop! Get a Ticket," given the song's irresistible Merseybeat-inspired approach. The record proved so popular across South Florida that it was licensed for national release by the Date label, surging as high as number 80 on the Billboard Top 100. The follow-up, "One More Time," rose to number 114 in the autumn, and the Clefs closed out 1966 with one more single, "It Won't Be Long." The record failed to chart, however, as did its successor, 1967's "Gimme One Good Reason" — a full-length album was completed, but Date chose to cut its losses, shelving the LP and dropping the Clefs from its roster. The Moss brothers soon exited, and the Travis and Coventry continued on with bassist Frank Milone and drummer Steve Zaricki before dissolving in 1968. "Stop! Get a Ticket" was later included on 1998's Nuggets box set. The album finally saw the light of day when the tracks from it, along with the group's lone single, were released by Wounded Bird in 2010 under the title Stop! Get a Ticket.
