Sites 'N' Sounds - SNS "The Night Is So Dark" EP with full color
two sided rare photo insert!
Black Gladiator and Slovenly are back with another archival
60s punk release, this time from an impossibly rare Delta, Pennsylvania 45 by SITES N' SOUNDS. Gigging from Baltimore to York
to Hershey in the mid-60s, including an appearance on Baltimore's Kerby Scott TV program, Sites n' Sounds were students at
Kennard-Dale High School when they recorded this absolutely genius single at Courier Recordings studio in Fremont, MD, releasing
it on Ohio's CEI Records label in 1967. We dug up this 45 towards the end of 2016, listened to it about 100 times in a row
that evening, and began researching the band the next day, which resulted in locating organ player Mike McFadden in our own
backyard. He provided insanely cool band photos - two of which are reprinted in full color for the 7inch insert. When we alerted
Crypt Records honcho Tim Warren to the discovery, he declared it an "unknown MONSTER mooder!" and applied his loving and astute
mastering touch for re-release. We couldn't be more proud to present this haunting teenbeat single to the world 50 years later.
Originally from Delta, Pa, The "Sites 'N' Sounds" played from 1966-1969. Four graduates
of Kennard-Dale High School, Fawn Grove, Pa and one graduate of Red Lion Area High School, Red Lion, Pa. The "Sites
N Sounds" re-united in 2008 when co-founder Jim Ward passed. They then played for charity organizations until April
of 2013 when lead singer Danny Reese passed. As a group it was more than just performing, there was and always will
be a bond that will NEVER die.
