"The Tasmanians ruled West Palm Beach, Florida in 1966-67. The group's members came out of Melborne High, Cocoa High, Satellite High, Merritt Island High and Brevard Junior College. Released on the local Conda label, "Baby" is a garage classic. Despite being a rare 45, it's found its way onto many garage comps over the years. The flip side is a great pop song, "Love, Love, Love ."
