THE HONEYCOMBS All Systems Go!
PYE NPL-18132 . The record does not specify where it was pressed but says "licensed by PYE " . On the back cover " PYE LTD AUCKLAND" is printed so I assume this is the New Zealand pressing.
Cover VG overall wear and a price from years ago was written on the flip back . See photos
Record looks VG ( I grade conservatively) but plays much better
Probably closer to a strong VG +
Despite downwardly spiraling commercial fortunes, the Honeycombs recorded a second album in 1965 that featured as many intriguing production flourishes and oddball British pop songs as their first effort. No hits were included on this LP -- and be warned that the version of their minor hit single "I Can't Stop" (probably their best song) featured here is an inferior, drastically slower remake. This album also includes a mighty obscure ballad by Ray Davies, "Emptiness," that was never recorded by the Kinks (or any other artist but the Honeycombs, for that matter). It's not much of a song, but it's a find for Kinks fanatics. The record's highlights are the sparkling guitars of "Love in Tokyo" and the soulful ballad "Something I Got to Tell You" (featuring drummer Honey Lantree on vocals), which sounds like an honest-to-god hit-that-never-was.
