The Frantics - Human Monkey b/w Someday (1966 Acetate) | Seattle Garage | Pre-Moby Grape

I had to look at this label twice. The credit is written in pencil, and it says Mosley. That is Bob Mosley, and within months he was in Moby Grape. This is an acetate, cut at Action Sound Recorders in San Mateo in March 1966, a month after Mosley joined the Frantics on bass. Acetates are reference discs, cut before anything is pressed. They were never meant to last. The 45 that followed came out that July on Action. Titles are written by hand on both sides, there is a blue X marking the side they wanted played, and it is still in its original Audiodiscs sleeve with FRANTICS penciled on the front. Mosley, Jerry Miller and Don Stevenson all left this band for Moby Grape. Denise Kaufman arrived off Ken Kesey's bus and left for Ace of Cups. Chuck Schoning, who started the whole thing at a Seattle junior high in 1952, ended up in Quicksilver Messenger Service. And Jerry Garcia is the reason they were still in California to record it. 0:00 The labels 0:06 Human Monkey 2:11 Flipping it over 2:28 Someday 🎧 Rare 45rpm Vinyl Rips - promo singles and obscure 7-inches: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pZAodT9-v-Lehtz7BPAlxi 🎧 Pacific Northwest Vinyl - rare psych and garage rock: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9qPSUUGVIjVndnwLVdMGeX6 🔴 Live Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6:30am PT, one record from my collection: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9qEwJJg-w9RXM0MsbSk5H3F 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ I sell my doubles and extras here: https://vinylpipershop.com/ #TheFrantics #Acetate #SeattleGarage #MobyGrape #RareVinyl
