We have already encountered Berkeley, California’s The Answer thanks to their collaboration with Denise Kaufman on the utterly brilliant Denise and Company single ‘Boy, What’ll You Do Then’ from January 1966.

A couple of months before – in November 1965 – the band, who had formed at Berkeley High School, had released a 45 of their own on White Whale Records. The deal with the label apparently came about because The Answer had befriended Westchester, CA popsters The Turtles (who recorded for White Whale of course) during a visit they made to Berkeley.
