Article currently states: The band is often thought of as a one hit wonder, on account of their 1966 top ten hit "Little Girl". By whom? Passive sentences are a haven for weasely concepts. Wikipedia isn't Rolling Stone magazine -- we're an encyclopedia, not a music review site. Who often thinks of this band as a one hit wonder? You personally don't get to express your opinion here! Either cite your source(s) or avoid weasely sentences and pejorative labels. Example: The band had just one top ten hit -- "Little Girl" in 1966. I'd change it myself ... but I honestly don't know that much about Syndicate of Sound and how well their music did (or did not) chart. 66.17.118.207 13:36, 9 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] "Wrote and Recorded" the Little Girl album in about three weeks?

I don't have a copy of the Little Girl album handy, but I listened to it many times when I was a young(er) person. It was a great slab of 1960s punk rock which is undeservedly out of print. My recollection is that most of the songs were in fact cover versions. Also, at least two tracks were the "Little Girl" single (i.e., the song itself and its flipside, "You.") Jim Sawyers was credited as the band's lead guitarist and even takes some lead vocals, although Larry Ray's name was mentioned fleetingly on the back cover in fine print.
