The Honeycombs, if truth to be known, is my favorite band. Over the years I collect their recordings, which is not a lot. They only did three albums, and that includes a live album made and recorded in Tokyo. The brilliance of The Honeycombs is the combination of great songs with brilliant production by Joe Meek. "I Can't Stop" should have been a mega-hit around the world, but alas, it never reached the heights "Have I The Right." Nevertheless, it's a masterful song with a driving beat and chorus. The b-side for me is the super treat. A song by Meek, "I'll Cry Tomorrow" is superb drama and I get goosebumps hearing Honey's (the female drummer) backup vocals during the chorus.
