Overview

Listen To Me Now / Jolly Green Giant --- 2011

Formed in 1965, The Ravens were a group of five students at Wheaton Central High School in Wheaton, Ill. The group saved up a little money and recorded a 45 at a studio somewhere in Chicago. They made about forty copies and gave them to their friends and families. One side was an edgy original tune about teenage romance. The other side was a cover of the garage rock hit "Jolly Green Giant" originally by The Kingsmen. The master tapes were erased the day after the session and the 45's have been for the most part lost with only very few know to have survived over the years. The Ravens also played at their varsity talent show, where the only picture of them was taken.
