From OP: Last Time Around / Everytime (7", Single) (1966)
The Del-Vetts were an American garage rock band formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1963. They released five singles and obtained regional success in the Midwest.Despite the lack of commercial success resulting from their debut, Traut still felt the band could reach a breakthrough. He signed The Del-Vetts to a recording contract with Dunwich Records, and recorded their most commercially successful, and best known song, "Last Time Around", an original composition by colleague Dennis Delquivist, in early 1966. The song, with a fuzz-toned guitar instrumental performed by Lauer acting as the highlight, was released as the band's second single, and scaled the regional charts to become the most-requested track on Chicago radio stations. However, their later in the year follow-up effort, "I Call My Baby STP", underperformed and could not reach the same success as "Last Time Around".In 1967, the group changed its name to The Pride and Joy.
Original lineup, 1963: Jim Lauer - vocals, guitar Lester Goldboss - guitar Bob Good - bass (later guitar) Paul Wade - drums Jeff Gerchenson-vocals, guitar
Later members: Jeff Weinstein - guitar Jack Burchall - bass Roger Deatherage - drums
