Sinners

Freddie & the Hitch-HikersSinners

Strange, eerie stroll from an obscure Midwest (?) combo circa 1961. An unknown (and presumably unskilled) theremin player adds echoey ambience throughout. This may very well be the first instance of theremin being used in a rock-n-roll context, a good 5 or more years before Beefheart or Lothar. Later covered (sans theremin) by the Cramps.
