Paul Revere & the Raiders, "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are in Columbia Studios, Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood in early 1966 for Paul Revere & The Raiders' "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone", from their "Midnight Ride" LP, first released on Columbia Records on 6th May 1966...

"Introduced to me by The Sex Pistols as a cover of a Monkees tune, this is the original version of the song. It was written by the professional songwriting duo of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart and produced by Terry Melcher (son of Doris Day and witness at the Manson trial).

Starting out in Idaho, The Raiders (due to an embrace of a hokey 3 cornered hat image), rarely get the recognition they deserve as a popular garage band. By all accounts, this line up could kick ass !" - KV
