The In Crowd
by Dobie Gray
011
The “In” Crowd from Dobie Gray makes it at number 11 in our Top 500 Well it had to be right up there didn’t it? In fact you could argue it should be number one because of its status as the probable major signature tune of the Mods, being nice and arrogant just like the Mods too. ’Dressin’ fine makin’ time, we breeze up and down the street, we get respect from the people we meet, they make way day or night. They know the In Crowd is out of sight’. HL 9953 released on the UK London American label on 19th February in1965 and deleted fairly rapidly. It was quite rare and was in great demand. It could be found in second hand shops and deleted piles in record shops. Significantly it was easy to obtain from USA deleted postal auctions (advertised in the UK music press magazines) and so became one of the first imported vinyl 45’s on the Manchester Soul scene!
