The Jimmy Castor Bunch – Space Age / Dracula Pt. II [1975; Atlantic]

Bubbly synth and spangly guitar mark the A-side of this single, with Jimmy Castor singing about possibilities of the future.  Some firm grooves and rhythmic twists join well with the goofy nature of the lyrics, with the whole thing lighting on an upbeat vibe.  The B-side plays up a creepy bass riff, with electric organ backing, while the synth brings some tingling garnishes between the funkier vocalized sections.  Quite a fun pair, with more work put into developing the atmospheres than might be expected for such short songs.
