Most folks remember the Blues Magoos for their sideways 1966 hit We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet. However, my favorite disc by the group is this somewhat obscure 1967 single. I Wanna Be There is a heavenly dose of psychedelic pop with plenty of action in every direction. It sounds a bit like a fuzzed up version of the Left Banke blended with The Nazz. Sadly, it failed to hit. It was later included on the group's third long player Basic Blues Magoos (Mercury 1968.) This single should have been a top tenner!
