The Ugly Ducklings - 1967 - Somewhere Outside
The Ugly Ducklings were a five piece garage rock group based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, most notable during the mid 1960s. The group was formed in 1965 with Dave Bingham (lead vocals, harmonica), Glynn Bell (rhythm guitar), Roger Mayne (lead guitar), John Read (bass), and Robin Boers (drums). In their early days their music was partially influenced by The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and The Kinks, however the band was still able to create a rough individual sound typified by their solid garage-punk original material and raw delivery. They released six singles in 1966 and 1967 on the Yorktown and Yorkville labels, and one album, Somewhere Outside in 1967. In the summer and fall of 1967, the band's fifth single "Gaslight" became a Top 40 hit across Canada, peaking at #17 on the RPM Chart, and reaching #1 on CHUM 1050 in Toronto on October 2 that year. Their first three singles also made the local 1050 CHUM AM charts in Toronto. 01 - Nothin' 02 - Do What You Want 03 - She Ain't No Use To Me 04 - Just In Case You Wonder 05 - Not For Long 06 - I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore 07 - Mama Keep Your Big Mouth Shut 08 - 1030 Train 09 - Just A Thought 10 - Postman's Fancy 11 - Windy City LINK (RS) or LINK (FS)
