THE DOVERS "We’re Not Just Anybody" - 10” EP

So let it be known, once and for all: everything you've heard about the Dovers is true, they were a great fucking band that deserved a Beverly Hills Mansion next to Jim McGuinn's, and this Misty Lane sampler is one of the most essential releases of the third millennium...... I'm sure the 10" format made some potential buyers nervous but with only 8 tracks to work with that's what you're going to get, and I'm all for 10-inchers anyway. Brief recap from the liners: the Dovers came out of Santa Barbara CA, the two main guys were vocalist supreme Tim Granada and lead guitar maestro Bruce Clawson, they released their first 45 in September 1965 and their last in May 1966. That's four 45s in 9 months, and each one a goddamn masterpiece of 60s teen music.
I can't think of any other local 1960s group with such a consistently stunning output as the Dovers. The Unrelated Segments cut 5 killers and nothing else, and neighborhood rivals Thee Sixpence had an extraordinary run at All-American; We The People in Orlando and Kenny & the Kasuals in Dallas released a very impressive number of great garage/psych discs, yet none of them carved out a distinct musical niche and expanded it the way the Dovers did with their brilliant amalgam of the best elements of vintage teen music.
