	As for records coming out of Acton: The [[Mauve]] cut a glorious record on [[Cori]] in 1966. "You Got Me Cryin'" is one of the finest examples not only of New England moody garage rock, but of the whole genre altogether. It was later covered (among others) by the Brood from Portland.

	Because Acton was a small suburban town in the 1960s, it did not have multiple commercial music clubs or teen‑only concert halls like bigger cities nearby (e.g., Boston). Instead, music and dances for teens happened in multipurpose community spaces. Battles Of The Bands usually took place in the Gymnasium of Acton‑Boxborough Regional High School or Acton District High. Even if there ~~wasExchange~~ Hall on School Street, built in 1860 and serving as a ballroom, dance hall, and concert space for more than a century, I could not find any specific teen dances or gatherings take place there.
