I just pulled out this album last night. Sugar Shack is one of my favorite songs and I really have no idea what else is on this album. Part of my radio listening during high school in New Jersey was tuning into WKXW 101.5 "Not New York, Not Philadelphia...PROUD to be New Jersey" and then comes the jingle NEW JERSEY ONE OH ONE POINT FIVE. Another one of my favorites from the station was The Hollies-Bus Stop...I found a funny Herman's Hermits cover of the Bus Stop song on youtube and posted it below. You can listen to the Sugar Shack song here if you haven't heard it. I think one of my favorite things from early TV broadcasts are bands being quite awkward in front of the camera and not knowing how to perform.
