Recollection Volume 42 – Gaslight

Recollection is a project to review my record collection. I will listen to an album I own and review it. The album will be chosen randomly by computron 2.0. Today computron chooses…

Album: Gaslight b/w Rimb Nugget
Artist: The Ugly Ducklings
Released: 1967
Format(s) I own it on: 7″

The Ugly Ducklings were a Toronto band and Gaslight was their biggest hit. This has been sitting in my drafts folder for almost a year. I seem to do this, get stuck on a single review and not power through. Well, I’m doing it.

Gaslight is a weird song. It’s about a woman gaslighting the singer. Kinda. I think. Either way, he’s in an unhealthy relationship and needs to leave. Dear Mr. Duckling, get out of there.

Is this song worth your time? Maybe. It’s okay. It’s a decent song, but I would probably only listen to it if it can on shuffle.

As for the B-Side, well, it’s not great. It serves its purpose of being there to be a b-side, but it’s not worth anyone’s time to listen.

I DID IT! I WROTE IT! HOORAY! Now I can move on.

Next time: David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane
