Pro Reviews: Sect Sing Sick Songs

  • All Music Guide

    In 1965, the Downliners Sect managed to release not one, but two records that counted as among the least commercial rock efforts of the period. One was their album of country songs, and the other was this, a four-song EP of death rock. On side one, they cover Jimmy Cross' gross "I Want My Baby Back" (now a Dr. Demento standard) and "Leader of the Pack," changing the title to "Leader of the Sect." Side two has the lyrically indecipherable "Midnight Hour" and a cornball teen lament entitled "Now She's Dead." Unusual concept, pedestrian execution, although they beat the Cramps to it by a good dozen years or so.
