In 1985, the Ben Vaughn Combo gathered in a New Jersey basement to record two garage rock tracks in defiance of a major label demo deal. In 2025, this rebellious single celebrates its 40th Anniversary.
Originally released as the first ever release on Todd Ambramson’s Telstar Records, the 40th Anniversary edition will be released by Ben Vaughn’s Relay Shack Records as a colored 7-inch with a faithful recreation of the original picture sleeve.
Ben Vaughn is still a fan favorite at shows in his native Philly and particularly popular during his annual tour visits to his large fanbase in Spain, and these timeless tracks kickstarted a classic New Jersey rock ‘n’ roll band, with a signature 1969 Rambler Hubcap beat.
