The Uniques were an American rock band based in Louisiana with Joe Stampley at the helm. They were active from about 1965 to 1970, recording most of their material at Robin Hood Studios, located in Tyler, Texas. They released their material on Paula Records of Shreveport, Louisiana. Their two biggest hits were "Not Too Long Ago" and "'All These Things", which Stampley would re-record in his country solo career and take to the top of the charts. The song "You Ain't Tuff" was also featured on the Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era collection.
