The Church Mice (ChurchMice) - "Babe We're Not Part Of Society" 60's Garage/Punk 45

Sought after 45. This 1965 record from Rochester, New York is the work of a band that featured one Armand Schaubroeck. Schaubroeck would later put out a series of avant-garde rock albums in the late 70s with such titles as "A Lot of People Would Like To See Armand Schaubroeck....DEAD!" and, best known of all, "Ratf**ker." On this record, with his fellow Church Mice in tow, Schaubroeck ended up laying down a precursor to all the underground rock, punk rock, new wave and alternative rock that would follow. The Artwork in the clip is by Sarah Raphael 1960 - 2001. A very brilliant Artist whose work can be seen on the internet. Sarah was the daughter of Frederick Raphael (Author & Screenwriter)

I want to run around on dirty beaches to this forever.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Used to play "(Crazy Baby Gots Me) Shakin' Shakin'" and "Pretty, Pretty Baby" back in '78-'87 at WTCS in Fairmont, WV. If we would have had a copy of this, we definitely would have found a "Saturday Night" home on the air for it! Remarkable!

It was posted on the WFMU website last year. Should be still there. What a single!

It's also up on a compilation of obscure 60's garage. Can't remember which one though.

Sounds like Bob Dylan after a heavy night of drinking!

[@JWF5186]

Months later and I'm still digging this and the b-side. Awesome. Is there any chance you have the Kack Klick single?

[@andimiller7529]

Have this on Colour Dreams

[@minutegongcoughs]

The great thing today is sounds like this are not allowed to be condemned to harbour spiders and gather dust.

Afraid not, though it's floating around the internet.

[@gallium8360]

There's something about this that I really love but I don't know what it is. It might be the campy-ness of it but idk

[@JWF5186]

Amazing, thank you. Any chance you could post the flip side?
