Syndicate Of Sound’s real break came when Baskin & Gonzalez wrote “Little Girl.” Recorded in San Francisco for Hush Records, it had just the right ingredients for 1966: 12-string bite, pounding drums, garage-band bad attitude... & that snarl-infused vocal delivery. #SyndicateOfSound #OneHitWondered

That Del-Fi session produced “Prepare For Love,” a raw, British Invasion-flavored single that gave Syndicate Of Sound a record to push around San Jose & the Bay Area. The single received local airplay… but ultimately failed to make an impact. #SyndicateOfSound #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
