The Litter was a garage rock / psych band (most famous for the magnificent "Action Woman":

, in fact their entire "Distortions" LP is fantastic).

They released a bunch of 45s and LPs on the ABC distributed PROBE label in 1968 and 1969.

Eddie Holman's "I Surrender" on ABC is from 1968, so perhaps there was some kind of mix-up at the pressing plant at the point of printing the labels?

It would surprise me if The Litter and Eddie Holman had anything else in common than being signed to the same family of labels.

still found it strange that sam or anybody else had never heard of it back then when did i surrender emerge on the scene ?

About 1968ish when it came out on Action?
