Cupons – Turn Her Down

Girls in the Garage volume 6

The Girls in the Garage compilation series unearthed many long forgotten songs from the 1960s, all sung and performed by girl bands. They showed that a group of women back then could release great pop songs without the involvement of that guy and his wall of sound. One of my favourites from the series is Turn Her Down, a 1962 song by Cupons (think The Crystals going lo-fi punk), who may have released only one other song. I’m not the only one intrigued and someone else found a bit more and also discovered this ‘male version’ of the song.
