The group is best known for their 7" single featuring the tracks "This Thing" and "My Lovin' Baby". "This Thing" is celebrated by collectors for its raw, high-energy garage-punk sound, which captures the rebellious and unpolished spirit of the era.
While the band did not achieve mainstream commercial success at the time of their release, they gained a significant cult following decades later. Their track "This Thing" has been featured on prominent garage rock revival compilations, most notably the Girls in the Garage series, which highlights female-led or female-influenced garage acts of the 1960s.
Legacy
Today, Stacy's 5th is primarily remembered as a "rare gem" of the psychedelic and garage rock movement. Original pressings of their 1966 Jubilee single are rare collector's items, often appearing in the "Very Good Plus" (VG+) category for significant sums on vinyl marketplaces. Their work remains a staple for fans of the "nuggets" style of mid-60s rock and roll.
