The songs were probably recorded during the Out After Dark sessions, maybe as a warm up in the studio.
A) Hanky Panky (Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich) is of course the old hit from Tommy James & The Shoundells, here in a Phantom Movers treatment.
B) With A Girl Like You (Reg Presley). As The Troggs are one of my favourite bands, it’s nice to hear Roy and the boys doing this cover of the old Troggs number played very slow. The song is also on a tribute to The Troggs called Groin Thunder (Dog Meat DOG 026, 1996) and with bad remastering (too much compression) on "Phantom Tracks" Lolita 5016, 1984. A great song and a very good version!
Summary: What a gift for the Phantom Movers fan club members!. 7/10.
Comments from Marty Arbunich (former owner of Solid Smoke Records):
These were left over from "Out After Dark." We released this for kicks, and for diehard fans via mail order only. Only 200 copies were produced -- so it's the rarest Loney release in our catalogue. There was also an alternative black/white cover on a handful of copies.
