Instead, from 1966, please enjoy the indisputable kings of the Wilmington rock scene The Enfields and their quite jangly and winsomely minor key local hit "In the Eyes of the World."
This is one of those songs that, apparently, is sort of a household word amongst Nuggets-era garage rock aficionados, and at the risk of blowing what little credibility I might retain, I must confess I hadn't heard it until yesterday.
That said, it's a terrific piece of work, and quite worthy of The Zombies and The Searchers, the Brit Invasion bands that obviously influenced it.

Note to self: obscure sixties garage....
Ah he'll, I'm too tired.

There's a reason it wasn't much of a hit! Just not all that interesting.
ROTP(lumber)
Wow, never heard these guys before.
Not a lot of info out there on the googletube about the band.
I wonder if they named themselves after the British rifle maker (Lee-) Enfield?
That song is a drag and a bummer.
No, this is the one that's a garage classic
