These days, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs are best remembered for such infectious '60s hits as "Wooly Bully" and "Lil' Red Riding Hood," and for the sartorial splendor of turbaned frontman/organist Sam the Sham (née Domingo Samudio) and his bandmates. But the one-of-a-kind Memphis-by-way-of-Texas quintet produced a large and highly original body of R&B/blues/Tex-Mex/garage tunes that established them as one of the greatest singles bands of the 1960s. While the band's wacky humor and flamboyant visual image may have threatened to brand them as a novelty act, their raw exuberance, rootsy grit and playfully subversive streak made it clear that Sam and his Pharaohs were the genuine article. (Kicks)The first installment contains the albums:
"Wooly Bully" 1965, "Their Second Album" 1965, "When The Boys Meet The Girls" 1965

I used the Megaupload link and it worked fine today.
THANKS for the first volume. It would be great (although I know I'm asking for a lot) if you could re-up the second and third volume to Megaupload. Links seem to stay a little longer on Megaupload.
THANKS!!!!
Best music blog ever! Thanks!!!!!
Is it possible for you to re up the three CD's? Thank you :) I love your blog!
