PAIN
Future country superstar Waylon Jennings wound up producing the fourth and most successful single by Phil and the Frantics, “I Must Run” b/w “Pain”; he also played 12-string guitar on the recording. (A later release of the 45 had a different flip side, “What’s Happening”).

Phil and the Frantics are best known for their evident plagiarism of a Zombies song for their minor hit “I Must Run”, though to these ears, it isn’t nearly as obvious as everyone else seems to think. One more song from YouTube (audio only), from the flip side of “I Must Run”, called “Pain”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm_nRU-lYWc .
