In 1985, the Ben Vaughn Combo gathered in a New Jersey basement to record two garage rock tracks in defiance of a major label demo deal. In 2025, this rebellious single celebrates its 40th Anniversary.
Originally released as the first ever release on Todd Ambramson’s Telstar Records, the 40th Anniversary edition will be released by Ben Vaughn’s Relay Shack Records as a colored 7-inch with a faithful recreation of the original picture sleeve.
Ben Vaughn is still a fan favorite at shows in his native Philly and particularly popular during his annual tour visits to his large fanbase in Spain, and these timeless tracks kickstarted a classic New Jersey rock ‘n’ roll band, with a signature 1969 Rambler Hubcap beat.

Leo H. ★★★★★

Picked this up after reading about the original 1985 session — the pressing is dead quiet and the raw garage energy really comes through. The 40th anniversary sleeve feels like a proper artifact.

Lily U. ★★★★★

Picked this up for the nostalgia of 80s basement recordings—the sound quality for a 40-year-old demo is surprisingly clean on this 7". It’s a fun little slice of rebellious garage rock that still feels raw and unpolished. The gatefold sleeve notes add a nice touch for collectors.

Michael Q. ★★★★☆

The recording quality on this 40th anniversary reissue really captures that raw basement sound from 1985. I just wish the sleeve had a bit more info about the original session.
