THEE IN-SET - "THEY SAY"/"MY HEART CRIES"
Another band from Los Angeles, California Thee In-Set recorded a single for the Cal Omen label.
Cal Omen was a small label run by Godfrey Kerr.
"They Say" is a hard-driving, organ-based garage rock band sound and highly collectable for its sound and its rarity. "My Heart Cries" is a cover of a tune written & recorded by Etta (Etta James) & Harvey Fuqua. The Romancers recorded the same tune and turned it into an Eastside classic. Thee In-set's version is right up there with them, a truly fine ballad.

In 1965, The Righteous Brother would record and same song "Justine" for the Moonglow label and so would the band Meep Meep & The Roadrunner for the Boomerang label. Oddly enough Meem Meep's B-Side was titled "B-Flat Blues", a tune written by The Righteous Brothers Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield.
