Just in Case You’re Wondering

JUST IN CASE YOU’RE WONDERING

Pebbles, Volume 10 was my first introduction to the Ugly Ducklings, one of the greatest 1960’s Canadian rock bands; I have written about them before on several occasions. The cut here is one of their best songs, “Just in Case You Wonder” (sometimes called “Just in Case You’re Wondering”); the liner notes mention: “Apparently they have reformed and released a new LP in 1980 with remakes of some of their classics, though not this one.” I managed to find that album – Off the Wall – and it now hangs on display in my office, completely battered by Hurricane Katrina and utterly unplayable.
