Description
Mega rare 45 RPM single by the legendary ‘60s East Texas garage band ‘The Only Ones’ from Longview. Brumble Records 45-101.
‘Another Place’ bw ‘Can’t Trust A Woman’. Recorded at Steve Wright Studio in Tyler, Texas. Label has minor wear and vinyl has a few minor scruffs. This 45 has been taken good care of and plays and sounds great. It has been a few years since one of these 45s became available. According to John Axberg only 500 were pressed for the group to sell at local sock hops and ‘battle of the band’ events. I will pay for insurance. Check photos and ask any questions. No returns or refunds.
Longview, Texas garage combo the Only Ones was formed in mid-1965 by singer/bassist Jim Axberg, his brother drummer John, and guitarists Steve Thornton and Randy Clendenen. Previously dubbed "the Dimensions," the group played only a handful of gigs before Clendenen exited to form the Heard, famed for their garage-psych cult classic "Exit 9." He was replaced by organist Brenda Seale, one of the lone women in the otherwise male-dominated garage scene. From their inception, the Only Ones composed their own original material, and in the summer of 1966 issued their debut single "Another Place" -- featuring the Axberg brothers on co-lead vocals; the protest anthem was backed by the snarling "Can't Trust a Woman," which featured Thornton on lead. Issued on the band's own Brumble label, the single was a regional smash, especially on local station KLUE, the first to play it. Academic conflicts and age restrictions limited the Only Ones' performing opportunities, however, and in time, both Thornton and Seale left the group, to be replaced by guitarist Joel Laws and keyboardist Ronnie Mason. As musical tastes changed, trumpeter Larry Quinn and tenor saxophonist Chuck Fenton were added to the lineup, but a disastrous tour of Oklahoma spelled the Only Ones demise in the summer of 1968. The Axbergs later reunited in the power trio the Millard Fillmore Wild West Medicine Show; in 1977 recording a single credited to the Axberg Brothers. The Only Ones lone single was reissued in 2003 by the Break-A-Way label as part of the ten" The Heard Meet the Only Ones: Lone Star State 60s Punk.
