NEW * Dirty Water - The Standells {Stereo} 1966

1966....#11 U.S. Billboard Hot 100
Original video edited and remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Dirty Water" is a song by the American rock band The Standells, written by their producer Ed Cobb. The song is a mock paean to the city of Boston, Massachusetts, and its then-famously polluted Boston Harbor and Charles River.
First issued in late 1965 on the Tower label, a subsidiary of Capitol Records, the song debuted April 30, 1966 on the Cash Box charts and peaked at #8. It reached #11 on the Billboard singles charts on June 11. It was the band's first major hit single; their earlier charting record, "The Boy Next Door", had only reached #102 on Billboard's Bubbling Under chart in February 1965.
Dirty Water was also the title of the Standells' most successful LP, their only nationally charting album. This LP charted on both Billboard and Cash Box magazines' charts, peaking at #52 and #39, respectively, during the summer of 1966.

Rest in peace to Larry Tamblyn. The organ player and founding member. Mr. Tamblyn was 82.

No, I'm not from Boston. I'm a Western New Yorker. This is one of my favorite 60s songs and I'm still rockin to it at 69 years old 😂

If you are a Boston Bruin's fan - then you've been hearing this played at the end of their home games wins A LOT this year. Best record in the league, plus they recently got to 100 point faster than any NHL team in the history of the game.
