The Riffs made this one cool single “Tell Her” / “I Been Thinkin'” on Lubee 304 in early 1965. The songs show pronounced Merseybeat influence, especially “Tell Her”.

J. Gocioch wrote both songs, and registered copyright in March, 1965. “I Been Thinkin'” lists only Gacioch on the label, but the registration includes Timothy Ryant, and also that Dandelion Music Co. published both songs along with Debra Music Corp.

I believe J. Gacioch is either Joe Gacioch or James Gacioch. Tim Ryant was likely a member of the band as well. He passed away in 2008.

The deadwax codes include SJW and Clingman, indicating a Wakefield Pressing, and also that Loy Clingman produced the single at his Viv Studio in Phoenix, like the Lost and Found’s “Don’t Move Girl” on Pins.

I can not find any news articles or other info on the band.

The 45 saw national release on Jamie 1296, but was not reviewed in the trades.
