A thing about the rock music of the 60's that continues to be heralded might be that the style seemed intent on including every one within the field. We can debate about the veracity of this, yes, though we can agree that there can be many surprises found here. One such might've been Tommy James And The Shondells, who have achieved a couple of hits, yet they're not really that known despite the fact some of their tunes distill the 60's to their essence. I mean, the piece in the link rocks like crazy and the group clearly knows how to deploy their skills. Moreover, I'm not surprised Billy Idol covered the composition, but I must be honest – his version sounds similar to the original, which only shows how great the ditty is.

Music History Today: June 17, 2022

June 17, 1967: "Mirage" by Tommy James and the Shondells tops out on Jame's birthday at Number 10 in the US. The song resulted from a studio mistake. Producer Bo Gentry inadvertently put the tape of their previous hit, "I Think We're Alone Now," on the player backwards. The group listened to the chord progression onthe reversed tape and band member Ritchie Cordell wrote the lyrics to it.
