The Sonics “The Witch” 45s | 3 Versions + Rare Garage Psych Singles

Three different 45 versions of The Sonics “The Witch,” plus a stack of rare garage, psych, hard rock, and Northwest singles I picked up through a Record Collector News ad. I’ve been trying to round out my Sonics collection, and I’m still looking for the Etiquette promo copy of “The Witch.” I already had the stock copy, but this batch brought in upgrades, different pressings, and a few records that tie directly into the Seattle and Pacific Northwest rock story. The main piece here is The Sonics “The Witch”: the original 1964 Etiquette single with “Keep A Knockin’” on the B-side, the later Etiquette version with “Psycho,” and the 1966 Jordan version with “Like No Other Man.” Three versions, same killer A-side, different stories behind each one. I also get into Buck Ormsby, Etiquette Records, KJR, Pat O’Day, Kearney Barton, the Northwest sound, The Viceroys, Lincoln St. Exit, The Plastic Cloud, Endle St. Cloud, The Yellow Payges, Magic Ship, and the other Easy Chair from Vancouver, Washington.
