The Stereo Shoestring came together (with former members of Clockwork Orange) in 1968 and released this fuzzed out classic on their own English record label. A friend of theirs, Ashley Johnson (later in the 70's to own and operate a very cool record store on South Alameda in Corpus - Ashley's High Speed Boogie Shop) suggested that they take The Pretty Things non-lp 45 tune Defecting Grey and rewrite it. The punkified hyper-fuzzed result has been intriguing record buyers ever since it was re-released on some Texas Garage Rock comps. Within a year, The Shoestring broke up with many of the members going to form another band, Red House.

Finally! A picture of these gods! I would do anything to thank anyone of them for the masterpiece that they produced. Do you know if The Clockwork Orange released anything?
