Recognizing the somewhat surprising fact that Tommy James and The Shondells have had more records mentioned in the earworm than any other act, Tommy's birthday is noted with "Get Out Now". Although it was a low charter, it was their first single of their busiest year, 1968. The next single would be "Mony Mony" and, following two less than huge further releases, they would end the year with "Crimson And Clover"*.
Listening to some of the surprising records that are embraced within the Northern Soul scene, I can't help but wonder why "Get Out Now" has not been rescued from its relative obscurity...
