The Jynx, "Little Girl" (1965)
Not just does this forgotten gem of a Them cover -- dug out for a 2000 EP release -- include Chris Bell and Bill Cunningham (soon of The Box Tops) -- but learned last night from an excerpt of the oral history book There Was A Light: The Cosmic History Of Chris Bell And The Rise Of Big Star that Alex Chilton had originally agreed to be the vocalist for this recording session but ghosted.
It would have been Chilton’s recording debut, a year before he eventually walked into the studio and recorded “The Letter” with The Box Tops.
