Here is another 80s Neo-60s gem but this time it's no re-release I want to point your attention to. This is an original pressing and unplayed copies can still be found at various Mailorders.
The Wylde Mammoths rose from the ashes of Swedish Garage band The Crimson Shadows and were the first modern band to be signed by Crypt Records. The label released two LPs and one 45 by the band. Depending on the source this 45 is either called 'Help That Girl' or '7 Inches Of Please'. Judging by the sleeve I'd say 'Help That Girl' is correct. What's strange is that many Internet sources say the record came out in 1987. It clearly states 1988 as year of production on the label and the recording dates for the four songs were in November 1987. But that's nerd talk. 'Help That Girl' was Crypt's 3rd 45, following releases of Ralph Nielson's 'Scream' and a live 45 by DMZ, recorded 1978.
Musicwise I'd call the Mammoths a 60s R&B band, similar to for example the Tell Tale Hearts. So on this 45 you can hear early Stones or Them influences but no Sonics, Standells or Seeds.
