Editorial interest 89/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A sourced archival tribute to a Redwood City garage band, its singer Nancy Morgan, and drummer Jacques Aknin.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The archive compares two pressings of the band’s seven-inch record rather than treating them as interchangeable: Jaguar J-103 leads with “Have You Ever,” while Mijji M-3005 reverses the sides and credits Gilbert Day as producer. Its account also separates the 1967 studio lineup from the later live configuration, placing Jacques Aknin with the group after his return from the Army in 1968. Newspaper clippings, label records, family material, and a surviving live tape form the evidentiary spine.
