I hope you enjoy these photos, covers, record sleeves and posters of the original Spanky and Our Gang.  These are primarily just the photos, but I hope to put up copies of the reviews and articles themselves, in which some of these appear.  The original group recorded the first three Top 40 hits, "Sunday Will Never Be the Same," "Lazy Day," and "Making Every Minute Count," as well as the "Live" album.  As for photos of the later group, I also hope eventually to put some of those up too.  The later group recorded the other two top 40 hits, "Like to Get to Know You," and "Sunday Mornin'."  Several other songs, including "And She's Mine" and "Yesterday's Rain" also charted but were not Top 40 hits.  The new Complete Recordings CD has previously unpublished photos of the later group by Tom O'Neal and liner notes by Richard Campbell.  Of historical note, the set contains a PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED song "Cryin'," which was recorded at the same time as the 1966 demo, "And Your Bird Can Sing" b/w "Sealed With a Kiss."  It is a rare treat to hear this song. recorded by Spanky, Oz and Nigel, which has sat in the archives, unheard until now!  If any of you have photos and posters you would like to share, feel free to contact me.
