Posted November 17, 200816 yr Anyone know if these two records are the same band, they look a like but that's nothing to go by just cause they have yellow labels but that's all i have at the moment.
November 17, 200816 yr na, don´t think they are same group, one is THE Teardrops, other just Teardrops. The Pic sleeve teardrops a clear garage/rock outfit, while the teardrops on Max sounding more black and not garageish (GREAT tune btw!) But what do I know! Punky
November 17, 200816 yr Author I really cant decide if they are black or white but thr credits on the Max single have a Stax and could be Golden World connection. Edited November 17, 200816 yr by Prophonics 2029

The haircuts, the suits, etc. look very "Magnifcent Men"-ish to me if you know what I mean. Not that I know for sure but I wouldn't be surprised if they turn out to be the same band on both records. BTW, I'm very certain "every step I take" is blue-eyed...
November 17, 200816 yr Out of curiosity I google'd for the writers credits on "every step I take". They are Tony Michaels, Vinnie Gormann and William Joel, the latter better known as Billy Joel (yes, THE Billy Joel). There's one song called "every step I take" listed here. Can't play the audio on my office PC so I don't know if it's actually the Teardrops version. Can somebody play the audio to see which version it is?

November 17, 200816 yr I said sounding black and not garageish, meaning teardrops on Max beeing a Soul band/group, The Teardrops on 004 beeing a garage band. Digging a bit I´m close to convinced it´s not the same group. The Teardrops on 004 are from Colorado, and according to a garage site made only 2 singles: THE TEARDROPS 'Sweet, Sweet Sadie / You Go Your Way '(004 100) 1966 'Who Are You / Armful Of Teddy Bear '(004 101) 1966 With sweet sweet sadie they appear on numerous garagepunk/fuzz compilations, the band beeing described as very raw and fuzzy. So who are the group the Teardrops on MAX?
