Little Girl is the Syndicate of Sound song, so this was recorded in 1966 or later. The group does a decent version.
The flip, Meet Stella must be an original. Definitely garage rock, but the song starts out with a mention of Dion's Runaround Sue, and starts comparing her to Stella. I would never had thought of using the name Stella in a song.
Anyone familiar with Thee Zends? Where are they from?
Anyone not familiar with acetates? They are usually made as demos, and very few are made. Each member of the group probably got one, plus some sent out to record companies, and radio stations. This one is larger than a 45, about an 8 inch record.

My stepbrother Irwin "Cappy" Kaplan was lead singer and guitar for that band. He was 6' 4", 300 lbs., red-haired, and Jewish. I last saw him in Oregon in 1971. Great guy, had the blues in his bones.
I belive you are talking about my dad. Name and descripption match. Any clue on where I could find this record?
this record was recorded in 1966 in Los angeles county by a local band. Lead singer Ernie, lead guitar player Art, base player Dan. And drummer Keith.
Hi Jebariah, I may be your uncle Mark. Well, my name is Mark and I may be your uncle. I hope all is well with you. As to the record, as I (vaguely) recall it was recorded and pressed by a small studio that no longer exists- I sure don't have a copy. If you ask the owner real nice maybe he can rip an audio file of it for you. Good luck.
Mark or Jebariah, would you please contact me? My grandma was Cappy’s wife years ago. We’d love to talk with you guys. I’m on Facebook Desirae McNutt
