Jimmy Jimmy Holvay and Gary Beisbier, go all the way back to 1964 with the Chicago chart instrumental “Beatle Time” as the Livers on Constellation. The MOB was formed in the mid-1960s and was one of the early rock bands that featured brass in the lineup. They were still charting records in the mid-1970s, and were quite influencial on the Chicago scene. For Colossus, they charted “I Dig Everything About You” [Colossus 130, #83] and “Give It to Me” [Colossus 134, #71] in early 1971, the last chart hits for Colossus. Their album charted at #204. Jimmy Holvay and Beisbier were accomplished songwriters, having penned most of the hits of fellow-Chicago band the Buckinghams. Other members of the Mob were Al Herrera (lead vocals), Tony Nedza, Bobby Ruffino, James Franz, and Michael Sistak.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmC4jd4oFK15KkqqMzPVWZORd-L8IxwuOx_s_-Wlwz16TSZQOVNS1Zki9jVELf7RHysTS9jC2tbAHGLC1uPiT6H3bnDNfcPk7OUenN1tEfDwAO-_Bg2rLLinU22wFLc9a8-qqK1hieqivKPru7Y306c6RVQ16kd-bETy0l2KN_dF9bD8PbQKcRucSQBCUZ/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmC4jd4oFK15KkqqMzPVWZORd-L8IxwuOx_s_-Wlwz16TSZQOVNS1Zki9jVELf7RHysTS9jC2tbAHGLC1uPiT6H3bnDNfcPk7OUenN1tEfDwAO-_Bg2rLLinU22wFLc9a8-qqK1hieqivKPru7Y306c6RVQ16kd-bETy0l2KN_dF9bD8PbQKcRucSQBCUZ/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

youtube-src-id=&quot;X132nQmZ6C8&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Umbra was founded in 1969 and continued to solidify into 1970. Steve describes Umbra as “a progressive, psychedelic, jam group”.&amp;nbsp; I had the privilege of listening to the band’s “garage” recordings from that period and have to say this was a very diverse and talented ensemble. Steve recalled that the tracks were put down on a 4 track and a 2 track recorder and recorded at a band member’s home.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Most of the band members were from local Denver area high schools with the exception of Nick Melliadis who came from New York.&amp;nbsp; Steve attended South High School which wasn’t a good fit for him back then. “I didn’t care much for high school so I dropped out to pursue my music.” It was a decision that worked very well for Steve. He did achieve his GED, but more importantly acquired a rich and deep education in music with his adventures from Umbra up to the present day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The name “Umbra” was selected by the band while perusing the dictionary – an exercise common with bands back then (and maybe even now). “Umbra translates to “shadow on moon”, stated Steve. “We wanted a name that was short, mysterious, easy to remember, and sounded cool.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some on-line Umbra band histories state that the group was a ‘weekend band’.&amp;nbsp; Faulkner corrects this, “The truth is, we were a full-time band.&amp;nbsp; We did a lot of four and five night gigs locally and on the road.”&amp;nbsp; Steve continues, “We did a ton of road work.&amp;nbsp; We had a very good regional reputation.”&amp;nbsp; Umbra appeared regularly in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas as well as a few more States.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The original group was comprised of Steve on drums, Eric Frazee on lead guitar, and Terry Lewis on bass.&amp;nbsp; They were joined a little later on by twin brothers Gary and Larry Mann.&amp;nbsp; Larry departed in 1971. Nick Melliadis (alias “Nick Stoner”) joined Umbra later that year. Nick played guitar, harmonica, and sang lead vocals with Gary.&amp;nbsp; Gary would leave in late 1974 or early 1975.&amp;nbsp; The group continued on until 1976.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The band would work at many local venues including “The Rest of the Week”, “The House of Draught”, “Sam’s” on Lookout Mountain, “Tulagi” in nearby Boulder, Colorado, the “Eighth Infinity” at 1st and Broadway, the “Rathskellar” (which was recently destroyed by a fire) and more. “We appeared often at the Eighth Infinity”, Faulkner recalled. He continued, “We were literally the last band to perform at the Exodus in downtown Denver.” Steve explains that after the band had wrapped up their set, and were outside loading up their musical gear, the Denver police converged on the Exodus, stormed the entry and promptly locked the doors.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Exodus was apparently delinquent in city tax or fee payments and were thus shut down, never to open their doors again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Steve’s journeys through the local music scene put him in touch with Joel Cowan a local jazz musician who worked with the likes of Nat “King” Cole, The Ink Spots and Patti Page. Cowan would join up with a Chicago musician on Denver’s Band Box group releasing a LP on the Spicy Label titled “Party Time” (shown below). Cowan and Faulkner would become good friends and worked together for a time at Simmon’s Music on Broadway in downtown Denver.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Through his work, Faulkner would meet many, including Denver polka band leader Herman Dinges who was hugely popular throughout the Colorado Front Range. Steve would also become well acquainted with Denver recording star drummer Ronny Kae, visiting him often at Ronnie’s Drum City music store in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“I would come into the store and go back to Ronnie’s desk where we would converse while beating on drum pads to pass the time”, Steve recalled.&amp;nbsp; Kae would release an LP and several singles on Denver’s Band Box label as well as his own “Honey” record label. Several of his tracks charted locally on KIMN and other Denver area radio stations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Steve can pull up band names, venues he frequented and acquaintances he made in a long succession:&amp;nbsp; Mr. Lucky’s, The God Father, the Fetal Pig, Aphrodite (at the Infinity), the band Mandrake, the Wild Ones with guitar extraordinaire Ron Morgan, The Crystal Palace Guard, The Fogcutters, Lothar and the Hand People, the Galaxy Nightclub on West Alameda and many more!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;During the 1970’s Steve would join up with Monte Dale and the late Joe Martinez (“Little Joe”). They performed as a trio and Steve doesn’t believe that they worked under an official group name.&amp;nbsp; Steve fondly remembers Joe Martinez, “Joe (was) much more influential in my life than most people.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dale had earlier cut four tracks released as singles for the CLW label out of Edgewater in the western part of the Denver metro area. Joe Martinez was another Band Box recording artist who had been a member of the 1960’s band “The Fabulous Cyclones”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Beginning in 1966, Steve experienced a rich career which included working at Fred’s Music headed up by musician/instructor Fred Tafoya, a figure who played a very important role in Steve’s life, as a coach, a mentor and a dear friend.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Many local musicians would come through the store befriending Faulkner with their mutual pursuit of excellent drumming and making music.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Faulkner would do a stint with a band called “Lightning County” from 1988 into 1994 doing a country and rock n’ mix.&amp;nbsp; Faulkner recalls, “Lightning County” began as a part-time band and then evolved to a full-time band.”&amp;nbsp; We played locally and on the road for nine months at a time – six weeks out – two weeks back.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Steve continues, “This was the only time I couldn’t teach.&amp;nbsp; This culminated with the European six week tour when Desert Storm broke out.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That band had the privilege of touring through Europe performing at U.S. military bases. They had to make a retreat to the U.S. when terrorist activity began occurring frequently and the U.S. bases were on alert.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Steve shared this: “Two other noteworthy bands that I played in would be the Jennifer Price Band (did an all original CD with her] and a band called Bustopher Jones. I played a lot with both bands. Once in a while, both bands merged. We called that band the Outlets.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And today Steve continues to work with Umbra band member Nick Melliadis in a band called “Secret City”.&amp;nbsp; Bass player Nathan Baker came in a few years ago replacing Terry Lewis.&amp;nbsp; Faulkner and Baker had previously played together in a band called “Bradford Junction”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today Eric Frazee resides in the mountain town of Bailey, Gary Mann lives in Denver.&amp;nbsp; The Secret City LP charted nationally in 2019 entering the “Jambands” Top 30 for 2 months!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Steve’s long career continues to this day teaching drums. Among his other musical endeavors, Steve was a long-time drum instructor at Rockley Music which was located on West Colfax in Lakewood.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Rockley first opened in 1946 finally closing in December of 2019.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the early days, Umbra never made it onto vinyl in spite of laying down the 8 tracks in one of their homes very early on in their careers. That would change when Steve would come into contact with Vincent Tornatore, the founder of “Lion Productions” located in Geneva, Illinois.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Steve recounts, “I worked on obtaining a recording deal with Lion for a good two years or more from the initial introduction up until the debut vinyl LP and CD were released.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The owner of Lion Productions, Vincent Tornatore, did the final mastering of Umbra’s music.&amp;nbsp; Tornature started up Lion Productions concentrating initially on reissuing Canadian psychedelic bands and expanding to other genres and over time becoming, in Tornature’s words “champions of the obscure”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“What was available to unknown hard rocking dreamers like Umbra in Denver in 1971-72? Weekend gigs. Nothing but weekend gigs. But there was an upside to that: bands like Umbra could mix original material in with covers, and make enough money to survive. Or in the case of Umbra, to make enough money to build a home studio, where they recorded ads to promote their upcoming shows—and eventually, laid down the eight tracks on this disc. Everything was recorded by bouncing tracks back and forth between two-track and four-track reel-to-reel tape recorders. Spacey intros and weird effects were created by recording guitar licks, then re-recording them played backwards at double speed. What sounds like a flute was the result of blowing over the top of a 14” goose neck (believe it or not).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The resulting tracks are hard edged and heavy, verging on acid rock at times. Makes sense, as Umbra was a power trio most of their too-brief existence. Yet the songs (heavy though they are) have a deft touch. There are weird effects, space rock elements, plenty of melody, and a refreshing category-free approach to writing songs that makes Umbra’s music exciting to hear.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;by &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://kimsloans.wordpress.com/pop-bop-rock-honoree-steve-faulkner/&quot;&gt;Kim Sloan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfupANeRf-9Ot9G6Og_DlQaNkYwOxO2CupuCr-KaaYXLYkm-ctqPV4AMKTCVHcKGQ5COrwp1ANbAZ8Khz-RxWLcd4vwPqp20iyNgLyM-Q9UwocKSSWSyHSNabHavXGhnNByFo749IofeTRuWfjgIwU_Do-YkR2rcwTr82kGhg5cRwvoXuw3GXVC49vi_pn/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfupANeRf-9Ot9G6Og_DlQaNkYwOxO2CupuCr-KaaYXLYkm-ctqPV4AMKTCVHcKGQ5COrwp1ANbAZ8Khz-RxWLcd4vwPqp20iyNgLyM-Q9UwocKSSWSyHSNabHavXGhnNByFo749IofeTRuWfjgIwU_Do-YkR2rcwTr82kGhg5cRwvoXuw3GXVC49vi_pn/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

And while the resulting outfit didn’t end up going anywhere, Michael and Steve realised they were creative kindred spirits, even if as a classically trained player (Michael) and an R&amp;amp;B obsessive (Steve), they were very different.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“We realised we had an affinity, musically,” explains Michael, now aged 72. Misty was later completed by singer Tony Wootton, guitarist Freddie Green, and drummer John Timms.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There were high hopes for Misty. They were managed by Michael Grade, who would later become the controller of BBC1. After only a handful of gigs, the band was signed by the record label Parlophone and their first single, 1970’s Hot Cinnamon, arrived with a press release declaring: ‘Yesterday was The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream. Today is: Led Zeppelin, The Moody Blues, Deep Purple. Tomorrow will be MISTY!’&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sadly, despite those high hopes, that grand future for Misty wasn’t to be. Despite being well liked and receiving a lot of radio play, Hot Cinnamon failed to chart, resulting in the album they’d recorded being shelved. Furthermore, a tour with Roy Orbison, whose grown-up pop stylings couldn’t have been more at odds with Misty’s unusual progressive rock, didn’t earn them many new fans – and the band soon called it a day. “We went our separate ways, which was sad and disappointing because it was a great band,” recalls Michael.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some 35 years later, Michael, then working for a hotel and leisure company, was asked by his girlfriend at the time about the band he’d once been in. “She asked me where the album was,” recalls Michael, “and I said I had no idea, because I didn’t. To be honest, the band hadn’t crossed my mind until she brought it up. But somehow, she managed to find the acetate [test pressing] of the album. I was surprised that it worked and my son, who works in production, advised me to take it somewhere to be digitally enhanced.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, Michael did, and when he went to collect the recording three days later, the engineer told him that the boss there would like to see him as he was sure he’d heard that music before. When the boss eventually appeared, he asked some questions about the identity of the band, including its name and when they had originally recorded.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As it turned out, the boss, George ‘Porky’ Peckham, had been in a band called The Fourmost, peers of The Beatles and had been on the same Roy Orbison tour bill as Misty. “The fact he’d remembered our music 35 years later was astounding and was a sign it had an enduring quality,” smiles Michael.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Several years later, Michael went to a gig at the 100 Club, the legendary London venue. He happened to be wearing a t-shirt that had been made for him by his friend and featured a promotional picture of Misty taken back in the late 1960s. The t-shirt caught the attention of a man at the gig, who asked whether it was a picture of Misty.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“It turns out the guy had a copy of our single,” laughs Michael now. “He asked me many questions about what we did, including some television appearances. He asked where he could watch them, and I told him that I’d looked for them but had been told they weren’t available anymore. A few days later, this man, who was a Metropolitan Police Detective as well as a TV archivist, rang me to tell me he’d found one of our television appearances in the archives of the British Film Institute and arranged a screening for me.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Despite being recorded some 52 years ago, the quality of the footage was remarkable and allowed Michael to reconnect with his younger self and music. “It was so vivid,” explains Michael. “It was like unearthing a time capsule and rediscovering an interesting part of my life.” Michael would have another chance to do so when an editor friend shared an article entitled ‘1969: The Year That Rocked’ about the sights and sounds of one of music’s most colourful periods.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“Misty recorded our album in a famous studio called Regent Sound Studio based in [London’s] Denmark Street, which was mentioned in the article,” says Michael. “So, I emailed my editor friend to tell him. He was on the phone within five minutes asking me about Misty’s album. Half an hour later, he called again to tell me many of the tracks were on Spotify!”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, however, Misty’s debut album ‘Here Again’ has been released properly. This hasn’t only resulted in the band’s fascinating and complex music finally being heard as it was meant to, but a reconnection between the men who made it after several decades apart. “I hadn’t spoken to Steve for 40 years,” Michael says of his one-time creative partner. “To be in touch again has been wonderful. When he walked into my flat again four decades on, it was like we’d never been apart.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, what effect does Michael hope Misty’s music will have on new listeners? “10 years ago, this was ancient history. I just hope that people find the music memorable and unique and appreciate our musicianship because it’s intricate stuff.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sadly, while the death of Misty’s drummer John Timms in 2012 has ruled out the chances of the band reuniting on stage again, Michael is still playing music for special occasions. “I only play for weddings and funerals,” he says, “and I definitely play at more funerals these days.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ageuk.org.uk/discover/2022/september/rediscovering-a-musical-time-capsule/&quot;&gt;Age UK, 28th September 2022&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ-nJA0zMB0cd9OIyKTk3KoWPJVBrWoPOyvXlzNhhtlP26l0XbdfH6SACeFnL-7tY9z9VLg3hZyTZNDd6sby8EL6rnxycqaIt0418jkp6fOVf-QjKVRBkr3kxYWW0_N5E1DYvocbJ7359A-i2pPjT2fswOtvXVnLEViDA3HF76iXw0nxZkYITMsVpyZBy2/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ-nJA0zMB0cd9OIyKTk3KoWPJVBrWoPOyvXlzNhhtlP26l0XbdfH6SACeFnL-7tY9z9VLg3hZyTZNDd6sby8EL6rnxycqaIt0418jkp6fOVf-QjKVRBkr3kxYWW0_N5E1DYvocbJ7359A-i2pPjT2fswOtvXVnLEViDA3HF76iXw0nxZkYITMsVpyZBy2/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

  4. Rare collection of artists &amp;nbsp;from the mid-60&#39;s and most of them have been lost in the whirl of time, but they managed to record few little pearls. &amp;nbsp;The collection is based on 45&#39; vinyls, and  from some  labels who were involved in the revival of the Garage/Punkadelic sound, of the years to follow.&lt;br /&gt;
  5. &lt;br /&gt;
  6. This release carries the sound waves and the rhythm of their time, and the booklet that accompanies gives detailed information for each song and band. We may now be surprised about the sound quality of entries but they largely manages to give us generously the position of a decade that we still love.&lt;br /&gt;

It is a superb collection of very rare treasures. Absolutely one of the best resurrections from a band who was pivotal in the US underground Psych-Folk scene of the late 60&#39;s into the 70&#39;s&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All the recordings range from the late 60&#39;s to the late 70&#39;s.&amp;nbsp; &#39;The missing tapes&#39; is their best, till today, offering. Just take a listen to &#39;Did you love me&#39; and &#39;Lost worlds&#39; songs. Original, unique and bizzare sound not unlike their first album.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Most of the songs are penned by Roger Penney while there are few covers on: Dennis DeYoung&#39;s &#39;Come sail away&#39;, Joni Mitchell&#39;s &#39;Circle game&#39;, Richard Farina&#39;s &#39;Swallow song&#39;, Fred Neil&#39;s &#39;Dolphin&#39; and an exceptional &#39;High flying bird&#39;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgum8fVTFBdMo-CU6tXxzIfwSro6JqWG8w-3HosGzT9OVAZCu8L90MVhggrbHHoNaGRDlkmm1OE3FWOHf1kabXswXKabgOlh_epaoJAd1F6R4WNKOL5ovEWimJBLLV8oPcZpVC_MylgDBWOVmyK8_jP8SOvVBpFQtJ5l4KRegvA6pkQ0SKCqdPPXI88ezWZ/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgum8fVTFBdMo-CU6tXxzIfwSro6JqWG8w-3HosGzT9OVAZCu8L90MVhggrbHHoNaGRDlkmm1OE3FWOHf1kabXswXKabgOlh_epaoJAd1F6R4WNKOL5ovEWimJBLLV8oPcZpVC_MylgDBWOVmyK8_jP8SOvVBpFQtJ5l4KRegvA6pkQ0SKCqdPPXI88ezWZ/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

youtube-src-id=&quot;_Y6SF9dwqiQ&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Arthur Brown is synonymous with his 1968 hit &quot;Fire&quot;, and the Hammond-driven &quot;Crazy World&quot; line-up which spawned it. However, his &#39;God of Hellfire&#39; burned out fast and, in 1970, he returned with a new project: prog-festival freak-show Kingdom Come. They made three astonishing albums for Polydor, then fell apart without achieving any commercial breakthrough.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Those initial four band albums, by &#39;The Crazy World of Arthur Brown&#39; and by &#39;Kingdom Come&#39;, are thrilling, as tend to be Brown&#39;s cameos on other peoples&#39; projects. Obviously a great collaborator, his solo work has often been impressively poor. Without a persona, a theme, or other characters to play against in the creative process he seems to lose conviction.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To the credit of this collection, it&#39;s a goldmine of immaculately mastered rarities. Inevitably, some of these tracks prove to have deserved their obscurity. There are half a dozen pre-fame recordings which posterity could thrive without. Ditto the majority of solo tracks. But, to be fair, this set claims to be The Story Of not a Best Of. A collection of Arthur Brown&#39;s best work would discretely set aside year upon year of aimlessness and stick to the period when he found his muse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The heart of this offering is the selection of guest vocals, oddities, and tracks from currently-deleted Kingdom Come albums. There is &#39;&#39;The Lord Doesn&#39;t Want You&#39;&#39; salvaged from an aborted 1969 Crazy World follow up, offering stunning declamatory funkadelia. There are eight&amp;nbsp; faultless Kingdom Come tracks, including rare single &#39;&#39;Eternal Messenger&#39;&#39;. Then there is nutter-vs-God-of-Hellfire action from Rob Calvert&#39;s &quot;The Gremlin&quot;, heading a clutch of collaborative gems. Sadly the provenance of some tracks is left vague by the album notes.This is currently your only option if you have Crazy World Of... and are longing to hear what came after.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;by &lt;b&gt;Rob Fawcett&lt;/b&gt;, 2003&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDNy8pHzF9LM6QRzWrh_k5n1RkE5_OJZa5Pom91d3kxcN0I4LRDpoSLz6Tt1a4sQp4D3rrg9ZHvHu1gaVqtmhNofvwiv8TdEh0wPXYCOmywDMjk-O1e_NSNje7cxhCW7LoHLZFuLwkYyTWhUDmwkgnQo3c15pisFmYMtmZuiCsob9MaccHSXo5alhTJUJ/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDNy8pHzF9LM6QRzWrh_k5n1RkE5_OJZa5Pom91d3kxcN0I4LRDpoSLz6Tt1a4sQp4D3rrg9ZHvHu1gaVqtmhNofvwiv8TdEh0wPXYCOmywDMjk-O1e_NSNje7cxhCW7LoHLZFuLwkYyTWhUDmwkgnQo3c15pisFmYMtmZuiCsob9MaccHSXo5alhTJUJ/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Disc 1&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

frameborder=&#39;0&#39;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;There are many different kinds of records. Some latch onto you almost immediately and either stand the test of time or else slip away as easily as they came. Randy Holland’s 1972 album Cat Mind is the other kind; those unusual and sometimes uneven records that take more than one listen to fully appreciate. Released on the independent Mother Records label, it can probably be said that Cat Mind never had a chance at real commercial success. But hell, we’re not interested in the commercial success here “ we’re after good records, wherever they ended up and in whatever condition. And Cat Mind is a good record.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Looking at that stark, black and white cover shot you’re probably expecting a good deal of grit here, and the opening cut doesn’t disappoint in that department. The off-kilter flower child stomp of Bless the Naked Days also wastes no time introducing the listener to Holland’s rough and nasally voice; a voice which he tends to push to the limits, and often far beyond. Depending on where you’re coming from, I reckon this could either be an acquired taste or a real attraction.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Following this first number, Colors of Sad is bizarrely saccharine, and it’s this vivid contrast between wildness and melancholy which perhaps defines this record more than anything else. Holland tilts mercilessly between incisive, jagged rock and roll numbers and melodramatic country cuts, with very little sense of transition or artistic compromise. His uncredited backup band really shines, especially on the former, where they lay down some of the most righteous country-stained rock this side of Wray’s Shack Three Track. The hot swamp growl of Muddy Water is a real highlight, as is the weird title track, graced with scorching Davie Allan-style guitar work and an insistent rhythm section. Holland’s forays into the tamer side of Americana are more hit-and-miss, giving us both the warm and gentle Ladybug and an unfortunately overwrought reading of Mickey Newbury’s Remember the Good.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Fortunately, however, even the most underwhelming cuts are outweighed by the grittier numbers, and the overall quality and unique character of Cat Mind really does warrant it the kind of reissue treatment afforded so many other lost jewels of the period, such as Vernon Wray’s Wasted. As it stands, it isn’t all that hard to track down a used copy for a decent price. And what ever happened to Randy Holland? From what it looks like, he retired his attempts at making it in the music scene not long after cutting this record and moved to Las Vegas, where he opened an art gallery and devoted the rest of his days to painting and poetry. He passed away a few years ago, truly making this his one and only album.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;by &lt;b&gt;Nik Rayne&lt;/b&gt;, June 29th, 2011&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Randy Holland passed away Jan. 7, 2011.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUrvSuUeDWiD0GpGAfBahSRRCQmAU2zU-JvkdrnuxbFL8Htn8qxga3qv1L1HGVOrdDAU6EJJ4v-kwMx_0VC0oIMcHUjR4KockdtngXjAGXZlb-qAvT7BvycGTbrB1UNIXMe4wdtsU24SP5_Vhzwy7Mw_3SfsTLuT0fxDbKzASMjvVIR8zC37Na9BvP_9gq/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUrvSuUeDWiD0GpGAfBahSRRCQmAU2zU-JvkdrnuxbFL8Htn8qxga3qv1L1HGVOrdDAU6EJJ4v-kwMx_0VC0oIMcHUjR4KockdtngXjAGXZlb-qAvT7BvycGTbrB1UNIXMe4wdtsU24SP5_Vhzwy7Mw_3SfsTLuT0fxDbKzASMjvVIR8zC37Na9BvP_9gq/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

  22. Sounding like a blend of Jefferson Airplane and the Doors, Bow Street Runners was a Fayetteville, North Carolina-based psychedelic band who released one eponymous album in limited quantities on B.T. Puppy Records in 1970.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  26. While the group was ignored at the time, Bow Street Runners became a collectible item among psychedelic aficionados during the &#39;80s and &#39;90s. Flushed from Fayetteville, North Carolina-where they thought they could remain comfortably obscure-by our release of their only album, the Runners have recently re-surfaced.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

  30. Issued in ultra-limited quantity by B.T. Puppy in 1970-and now changing hands for sums more familiar to NASDAQ-this is an other-worldly blend of sweet female blotter acid harmonies, hypnotic Farfisa and high-octane fuzz guitar histrionics.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Drummer Alan Moore was in the early and unofficial phase of the newborn Judas Priest, he left the band to join Sundance, and about a year after the &quot;Cfuffer&quot; returned to Judas Priest replacing John Hinch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-S_OzpqovWH5GtmhiOTVTXeExrBjuG6n8-JIxD8aC_ZIR0quz4IzoU5zOyG9TNzlK2EY_og7r4ua8yx4tTNx2RSAfRwKPJaIX9FRsnwIxkNycj16d50tdBl4W6BcqLCoIpC07HYnKYS99SNl2giAFMEk3Dupns8xT8bzNo1LmgIcyDVMTyfYVoAWXGSd6/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-S_OzpqovWH5GtmhiOTVTXeExrBjuG6n8-JIxD8aC_ZIR0quz4IzoU5zOyG9TNzlK2EY_og7r4ua8yx4tTNx2RSAfRwKPJaIX9FRsnwIxkNycj16d50tdBl4W6BcqLCoIpC07HYnKYS99SNl2giAFMEk3Dupns8xT8bzNo1LmgIcyDVMTyfYVoAWXGSd6/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

  66. Here&#39;s one of those obscure outfits that collectors love to heavily hype.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  67. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  68. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  69. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  70. Bassist Dave Nichols, singer Alan Pearse, drummer Derek Perry and guitarist Trevor Povey first came together as Chicago Max,&amp;nbsp;followed by brief stints as Sopwith Camel (not to be confused with the San Francisco-based outfit), Malibou and Armageddon. Working in a blues-rock vein (wasn&#39;t every early-1970s band dipping their creative toes in the genre), they were signed by the small Reflection Records, though the label immediately demanded a new name - hence the change to the deplorable Dogfeet.&lt;/div&gt;
  71. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  72. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  73. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  74. At least to my ears that&#39;s way off the mark. Produced by Andrew Cameron Milla, 1970&#39;s cleverly-titled &quot;Dogfeet&quot; is surprisingly good. With Povey writing all of the material, the album&#39;s varied and pleasingly understated. Pearse exhibited an attractive voice, while Povey&#39;s slashing guitar was quite effective (check out some of the effects he used on &#39;Evil Women&#39;).&lt;/div&gt;
  75. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  76. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  77. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  78. Musically &#39;On the Road&#39; harkened back to the bands&#39; blues-rock roots, but extended tracks such as &#39;Now I Know&#39;, the attractive atmospheric ballad &#39;Reprise&#39; and the Western-inspired &#39;Since I Went Away&#39; set them apart from most of their contemporaries. Not that it mattered. The album vanished without a trace, followed in short order by the band.&lt;/div&gt;

Rebennack produced Barron&#39;s first single, &quot;Bad Neighborhood,&quot; which was credited to Ronnie and the Delinquents. The pair later recorded &quot;Talk That Talk&quot; under the name &quot;Drits and Dravey&quot; for Harold Battiste&#39;s AFO label. Barron also served some time in a group called the Prime Ministers, featuring fellow New Orleanians Freddie Staehle (drums), Bobby Lonero (guitar), Eddie Zip (bass), Jerry Jumonville (tenor sax), and Wayne DeVilliere (organ).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;After moving to California and declining the Dr. John role, Barron worked for Louie Prima for several years and concocted his own mystical stage persona, &quot;Reverend Ether,&quot; recording an album by that name for Decca.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;By the 1970s, Barron had moved to Woodstock, N.Y., where he worked again with Rebennack as well as fellow Louisiana expatriate Bobby Charles, joining harmonica wizard Paul Butterfield&#39;s Better Days group.

Produced by Pentangle&#39;s Danny Thompson. Perhaps because of this, there&#39;s a cool, jazzy feel to the whole thing, which seems to play a role in the popularity of this work. The backing team is also gorgeous, with Marc Almond, Dave Cousins, Tommy Eyer, etc., and the string arrangements for some songs are done by Robert Kirby.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;All of the songs are self-produced, the arrangement of the talented back team is also good. It&#39;s definitely a plain work compared to the top-class British female singer-songwriters, an irresistibly lovely album with an atmosphere that feels like it&#39;s a moss-covered arrangement of pop songs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinaO0Fr4anJKwvWtqeILM66hoXWdvI0CCSFBr3ruPnbSZQtafSrGnwtQMlL4SnrH6-qYTfj87JQviecy8JYF25mq3grSQP-TUyZS_t_Y59qgsHaSpTpPwWhTtHh8tOvcRVfOB7DBEmmeAtPvFHm2lKAtG3K_KGoYC7VcXkoCgN2i4USQ23LXKfrk4hkxH3/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinaO0Fr4anJKwvWtqeILM66hoXWdvI0CCSFBr3ruPnbSZQtafSrGnwtQMlL4SnrH6-qYTfj87JQviecy8JYF25mq3grSQP-TUyZS_t_Y59qgsHaSpTpPwWhTtHh8tOvcRVfOB7DBEmmeAtPvFHm2lKAtG3K_KGoYC7VcXkoCgN2i4USQ23LXKfrk4hkxH3/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

University students had access to international touring artists like Ravi Shankar, and the general public to Broadway musicals, ballet and orchestras. Additionally Black R&amp;amp;B clubs were active, and White Teen Dance clubs focused on original, local R&amp;amp;R/R&amp;amp;B bands. A folk scene in the University District brought musicians, poets, beatniks who performed evenings and sat around in coffee shops during the day. Seattle had Jazz clubs, top quality Symphony Orchestras, Opera, Ballet, etc, and radio stations were starting to widen their scope with emerging British rock groups.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I studied music at University, played in the Seattle Symphony, with several jazz groups and joined a R&amp;amp;B club band called The Frantics, that owing to my injury from a car accident, the band found a new drummer. Steve Lalor and Don MacAllister found me recuperating. We talked about making new music. We located Doug Hastings, rehearsed here and there, and continued to meet at coffee houses in the University District. News of a psychedelic underground in San Francisco began to filter northward. Brave new ‘explorers’ (consciousness-pioneers) soon arrived in Seattle whereupon the University area became a gathering place for an emerging youth culture that included university students, as well as those who hadn’t figured out what they wanted to do.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here, musicians wanted something different; police wanted to keep abreast of it all; artists wanted to design it all; journalists wanted to publish information on it all; rich fraternity boys wanted to chop-off longhair from freaky menfolk, grab the girls and run. Despite all that there were few venues that wanted longhaired musicians, certainly not weird mixed-music groups such as The Daily Flash. Finally, The Daily Flash decided to create a series of moveable venues in Labor Union halls, and Blaise LeWark opened Seattle’s BFD club.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2024/01/the-daily-flash-interview-the-legendary-recordings-1965-1967.html&quot;&gt;Jon Keliehor&#39;s interview to Klemen Breznikar, January 30, 2024&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV1iAdiaOOL7RyPWXMBPsF62_iKqnT0rHdfL7c0cSza7mfcy9Xo2kwwtVb_FSfZcJYC1cfFBElybGAmKBqsp7Q7EVPY8leX1rZAppQRKMMXZGFrw14tcHAWeSAL0Qut5Ixw5VSnV2xhEsuwi26nwfmfR4BXGy6HPRK6APRYgKkgpMNzFQtEyK2Ii5zMiQJ/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV1iAdiaOOL7RyPWXMBPsF62_iKqnT0rHdfL7c0cSza7mfcy9Xo2kwwtVb_FSfZcJYC1cfFBElybGAmKBqsp7Q7EVPY8leX1rZAppQRKMMXZGFrw14tcHAWeSAL0Qut5Ixw5VSnV2xhEsuwi26nwfmfR4BXGy6HPRK6APRYgKkgpMNzFQtEyK2Ii5zMiQJ/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

  228. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  229. Truk hailed &amp;nbsp;from Oklahoma, and played a high energy &amp;nbsp;Hard Rock magma punctuated with stunning heavy organ, there is a good cover of Gun&#39;s &quot; Yellow Cab man&quot;, some acoustic melodic passages and few glamour glimpses.&lt;/div&gt;
  230. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  231. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  232. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  233. Truk obviously had a pretty strong affinity for the trailblazing trudge of titans like Cream, and the powerful, messy drunken genius of early Guess Who.It&#39;s the kind of record where the drums and electric guitar crunch buries the sound right into the middle of your chest when it&#39;s played loud enough.&lt;/div&gt;
  234. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  235. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  236. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  237. The sound was surely found at a dime-a-dozen in &#39;71, but they sure don&#39;t make them like this today! 10 tracks, including &quot;Country Woman&quot;, &quot;Got To Find A Reason&quot;, &quot;Pretty Lady&quot;, &quot;Yellow Cab Man&quot;, &quot;Silence Ending&quot;, &quot;Max&quot;, &quot;Sun Castle Magic&quot; and more.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;

  239. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  240. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  241. In 1973 Glenn Townsend resurfaced with Johnny Rivers and later Willy Daffern played with the reformation of Captain Beyond. &amp;nbsp;Truk Traks &amp;nbsp;Album cover picture shot at the East-West Truck Terminal in Orange County during a strike by the Teamsters. &amp;nbsp;The L. A. P. D. &amp;nbsp;was called by the security dude, who was not told we had permission to shoot the pictures. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  242. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  243. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  244. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  245. &quot;Dewey Martin produced Truk and later became a mechanic. In the late &#39;70s he also played sessions on a Hoyt Axton album.&amp;nbsp;Buddy Emmons kept on recording hundreds of country sessions, Harvey Kegan rejoined Doug Sahm and Augie Meyer, and Steve Lefever became a session man, notably with Alexander Harvey.&lt;/div&gt;

Rokko Jans and Jeffrey Parsons were attending Harvard while Nick Talantis and Norman Reim were just passing through Boston on their way to Greece. They ended up many-a-night jamming till dawn and as quickly as that plans were changed: Rokko and Jeff forsook the scholarly life and Nick and Norman have yet to make it to Greece. The four have been making music together, off and on, ever sinc&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;Capricorn&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Work in a mellow, pickin&#39;, strummin&#39; and grinnin&#39; style more reminiscent of Poco, the Eagles and CSN&amp;amp;Y. Most endearing for their very casualness, whether up tempo pieces or down-to-earth ballads... It is almost impossible to dislike Ned, four smiling long-haired geeks, each holding in his arms an absolutely massive looking dog, in the picture on the back of their first album.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;Rolling Stone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ned has performed throughout the US and Canada since 1969.

In 1969 he was singer in another psychedelic rock band Griffin. In 1970 he began his stint with Charisma Records, joining Every Which Way, a band formed by Brian Davison formerly of The Nice, as singer and principal writer. Musical style was jazzy progressive rock with guitar from John Hedley (who was later part of Last Exit, with Sting) playing call and response with Bell&#39;s blues shout vocals. Bell then rejoined his old mates from Skip Bifferty, now known as Arc, to form Bell &amp;amp; Arc in July 1971, with John Turnbull, Mick Gallagher, Bud Beadle, Kenny Craddock, Steve Gregory, Tom Duffy and Alan White. Bell was then tempted to leave the group to record an album as a solo artist in 1972. Featuring Tim Hinkley, Mel Collins and lan Wallace, it was produced by Bob Dylan associate Bob Johnston.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After Bell&#39;s appearance in the London Symphony Orchestra version of Tommy it was reported that Pete Townshend produced an album for him, but it never saw the light of day. In 1974 he contributed backing vocals on Carol Grimes&#39; Warm Blood also featuring Tommy Eyre, Jess Roden, John &#39;Rabbit&#39; Bundrick and Henry Lowther. In the late 1970s Graham Bell was featured on the front page of Sounds music paper as a &quot;the man -most likely to&quot;, but sadly his profile was affected by the rise of punk and the new wave. Bell moved to America, where he toured with Long John Baldry, and was the co- front man along with Jackie Lomax of a band of LA Brit expatriates known as the Tea Bags, among others, before returning to his native Northeast England in the mid 1980s. He also lived for a while in Cumbria before finally heading for London again and cropping up in Snowy White&#39;s Blues Agency in 1988/89. In 2008 he died of cancer shortly after his 60th birthday.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;Liner-Notes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM37RWgmZ1LEWuXp8tnEsVaEYbRohirNxoUnHvX7a8LiuQX0h8VeZ3Rkpt70yej3pnJx90-ixWfd7le_9Aida45hm3kmb-HgfEyBzuC56CMHuRVPkDAJ_qEKiQX_ujNf2MspXsesBqgXeW4yvbbWu8HoLpS53Yyyh93jaBlDf4C0ch6Tlmx8b0ZeaHfNNT/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM37RWgmZ1LEWuXp8tnEsVaEYbRohirNxoUnHvX7a8LiuQX0h8VeZ3Rkpt70yej3pnJx90-ixWfd7le_9Aida45hm3kmb-HgfEyBzuC56CMHuRVPkDAJ_qEKiQX_ujNf2MspXsesBqgXeW4yvbbWu8HoLpS53Yyyh93jaBlDf4C0ch6Tlmx8b0ZeaHfNNT/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

  280. Blown Free were a Houston band active between 1978 and 1982. Their history is almost completely unknown, what is known is that the band&#39;s leader and main songwriter,  David Matthews, has a long history in music. He got his start in Wisconsin, playing in some underground psyche bands as early as 1968.&lt;br /&gt;
  281. &lt;br /&gt;
  282. When he moved to Houston he immediately put together his own band and the results of this can be heard on this disc, what recordings survived anyway. If there ever was a band that could be classified as &quot;obscure, underground rock&quot; this is surely one. The only known release on this band is a sole 45 released on Excelsior (the label owned by the late Bill Holford, SR. of ACA Studios in Houston).&lt;br /&gt;
  283. &lt;br /&gt;
  284. Mr. Holford would sometimes take a band under his wing and help them through business deals and publishing deals, which is what he did with Blown Free.  After the dissolution of the band, and the break-up of Matthews&#39; marriage, David took off for greener pastures back in Wisconsin where he started his own label and put together another version of Blown Free, this time under the monniker of The Matthew Davis Project. Several tracks from that period are included here as &quot;Lemonade and Suzie Tonight&quot;, &quot;A Seedy Reefer&quot;,  and &quot;The Bash&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

  320. Birmingham Sunday was formed in September 1966, and they were named after the Sunday concerts that took place in Birmingham, England. The original lineup of Birmingham Sunday featured bassist John Kvam, drummer Monty Johns, guitarist (and Monty&#39;s brother) Ward Johns, organ/sax player Phil Gustafson and guitarist Joe LaChew.&lt;br /&gt;
  321. &lt;br /&gt;
  322. Monty and Ward Johns had been in The Contrasts, who covered popular Beatles and Beach Boys tunes. John Kvam was a guitarist in the folk rock group The Scroachers, and learned bass after joining Birmingham Sunday. Phil Gustafson was the keyboardist and sax player for the rock band The Kensingtons. Gustafson was trained as a pianist and sang in the church choir, and he played sax in his high school band. Even though Phil&#39;s voice could easily handle the demands of opera, he preferred to sing background harmony with Birmingham Sunday. Joe LaChew was the guitarist and vocalist for the group The Freedom Five, who covered the blues-based output of British bands like The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Animals. At the age of 15, LaChew earned his stripes as a songwriter when he wrote a campaign song for the Nevada governor at the time, Grant Sawyer. The Freedom Five recorded a single of Joe&#39;s song and sold it at various campaign sites throughout the state.&lt;br /&gt;
  323. &lt;br /&gt;
  324. Birmingham Sunday started to play teen dances throughout northern Nevada. Their biggest crowds were at the Civic Auditorium in Carson City and at Genoa Town Hall. The group put on dances and rented halls in Carson City, Genoa, Minden and Reno to cover their increasing fan base.&lt;br /&gt;
  325. &lt;br /&gt;
  326. In 1967, Birmingham Sunday was poised for their breakthrough. Joe LaChew and Monty Johns were attending the University of Nevada in Reno, and their band had a much greater following – especially since the university dorms and fraternities now had their own party band!&lt;br /&gt;
  327. &lt;br /&gt;
  328. That summer season, Birmingham Sunday landed a house band gig at American Legion Hall in South Lake Tahoe, California. This involved playing five days a week at the hall, plus performing as the opening act for each weekend&#39;s entertainment. The venue was filled every summer night with Californians from the Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay area. Weekend shows were extravaganzas, as well-known San Franciscan acts like The Grateful Dead and Sly And The Family Stone were frequently brought in with local favorites The Family Tree and Jim Burgett.&lt;br /&gt;
  329. &lt;br /&gt;
  330. The American Legion Hall&#39;s weekend festival on July 28-29, 1967 was headlined by The Grateful Dead and Jim Burgett, with Birmingham Sunday, The Justice Five and Velvet Chain on the bill. This festival is where Birmingham Sunday first heard Debbie Parke sing. Debbie was performing a guest spot with The Justice Five at the shows.&lt;br /&gt;
  331. &lt;br /&gt;
  332. A few months later, Debbie Parks joined Birmingham Sunday, adding her strong voice to the mix. She was only 15 and a sophomore in high school. Even though Debbie&#39;s voice was overpowering, she did not try to dominate the band. Instead, her voice blended well with the rest of the singers in the band. Birmingham Sunday was now playing more originals as part of their sets. They began attracting interest from numerous managers and record company scouts.&lt;br /&gt;
  333. &lt;br /&gt;
  334. Phil Gustafson left for the summer to attend National Guard camp, and he was replaced by his younger brother Dave. Dave Gustafson was a child prodigy that could play any style from Beethoven and Bach to Jimmy Smith. In addition, Dave could read and copy nearly everything he heard. His great playing impressed crowds with a note-for-note rendition of The Doors&#39; &quot;Light My Fire.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  335. &lt;br /&gt;
  336. Birmingham Sunday&#39;s success carried them into 1968. Everyone&#39;s favorite hipster, Pat Boone (!), co-sponsored a &quot;Teen Scene&quot; local battle of the bands with promoter Bruce Blaylock. This two-day event was held at Reno’s Centennial Coliseum, where groups like The Kinks, Buffalo Springfield, The Zombies, The Beach Boys and many others had played. The judges were the members of The Sunshine Company, who had recently enjoyed some success. The Sunshine Company had a similar approach and appreciated Birmingham Sunday&#39;s vocal tapestry.&lt;br /&gt;
  337. &lt;br /&gt;
  338. Birmingham Sunday was chosen with the top bands to travel to Las Vegas for the finals. The Las Vegas judges were Strawberry Alarm Clock and their manager/producer Bill Holmes. The Las Vegas band London Fogg won the battle, but Bill Holmes greatly preferred Birmingham Sunday&#39;s original songs and he was very impressed by their vocals.&lt;br /&gt;
  339. &lt;br /&gt;
  340. Birmingham Sunday was invited by promoter Bruce Blaylock to do some recordings in Hollywood. Blaylock was shopping the band to Nitty Gritty Dirt Band manager Bill McEuen as well as a representative of that group&#39;s label, Liberty Records. Birmingham Sunday did an audition and received a record deal from Liberty. The record label had a song that they wanted Birmingham Sunday to record – the &quot;Love Theme From Romeo &amp;amp; Juliet,&quot; also known as &quot;A Time For Us.&quot; It was later recorded by Henry Mancini, Andy Williams and Johnny Mathis.&lt;br /&gt;
  341. &lt;br /&gt;
  342. After hearing the demos, Bill Holmes took on Birmingham Sunday as their producer and manager. Holmes turned down the Liberty deal, which proved to be a big mistake when Henry Mancini&#39;s recording became a big pop hit. Instead, Birmingham Sunday was signed to Bill Holmes&#39; All-American label.&lt;br /&gt;
  343. &lt;br /&gt;
  344. Meanwhile, the band had changed. Monty Wards left after the &quot;Teen Scene&quot; contest for a rigorous, pre-med schedule at the University of Nevada. Birmingham Sunday auditioned singing drummers, but no one materialized. With concert bookings to be fulfilled and not much time to prepare, Joe LaChew took over as the drummer. Monty had been teaching Joe all the drum parts for their original songs, so LaChew had no problem in this transition period. Since Joe gave up his guitar to play drums, the group had to find another guitarist who could sing well. They found Jean Heim, who played rhythm guitar and a little lead guitar. Heim could also sing lead with his pure, light tenor tone.&lt;br /&gt;
  345. &lt;br /&gt;
  346. The group perfected ten original songs and recorded them in December 1968 with Bill Holmes producing at Original Sound Recording Studios. The studio was located on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, and it was owned by multiple award winning DJ and promoter Art Laboe. The legendary Paul Buff, who previously ran Pal Recording Studio before selling it to his recording partner Frank Zappa, was Original Sound&#39;s engineer. The album &quot;A Message From Birmingham Sunday&quot; was recorded in five days using Buff&#39;s own ten-track studio equipment. Paul Buff also played a Chamberlin keyboard, the American precursor to the mellotron, on the entire album. Buff&#39;s string arrangements on the Chamberlin were essential parts of each song.&lt;br /&gt;
  347. &lt;br /&gt;
  348. All-American selected &quot;Prevalent Visionaries&quot; and &quot;Egocentric Solitude&quot; as the respective A- and B-sides of a single released in early September 1969. The album was released the same month. Before the album was released, Bill Holmes sent a tape of the single to radio stations in Nevada.&lt;br /&gt;
  349. &lt;br /&gt;
  350. &quot;Egocentric Solitude&quot; was first tracked for the week ending August 16, 1969 by Reno, Nevada radio station KIST. It reached the Top 10 in Reno that September 10, and it was #5 on KCBN. Although the single did not receive wide distribution, it did well in Sacramento, Chicago, Seattle, and especially Santa Barbara, where it made #1! The lack of distribution made the album extremely rare, even at the time. About 10 to 20 copies of the original LP are known to exist today.&lt;br /&gt;
  351. &lt;br /&gt;
  352. Many of Bill Holmes&#39; All-American acts played concerts on July 18-19, 1969 at Kings Beach on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. On the first day, Birmingham Sunday was the opening act. However, the popularity of the band enabled Birmingham Sunday to close the second night&#39;s show. Holmes had lost control of Strawberry Alarm Clock, so he had the replacement group Strawberry SAC play instead. Gary Solomon, the lyric writer of &quot;Egocentric Solitude,&quot; was in that band. Birmingham Sunday ruled the weekend event!&lt;br /&gt;
  353. &lt;br /&gt;
  354. Birmingham Sunday played concerts throughout 1969, but they split up in 1970 due to a number of forces pulling band members in different directions. Joe LaChew and Monty Johns stayed in college to continue their education. Both Joe and Monty formed the college rock band Brother Rock with Ward Johns. This nine-piece horn band opened for concerts at the college, including shows by Cold Blood, Tower Of Power, The Sons Of Champlin, and most notably, Derek And The Dominoes.&lt;br /&gt;
  355. &lt;br /&gt;
  356. Brother Rock did a recording for the Mercury label in San Francisco, but the tracks have been lost. While influenced by Chicago and The Sons Of Champlin, Brother Rock played original songs by Monty Johns and Joe LaChew.&lt;br /&gt;
  357. &lt;br /&gt;
  358. Debbie Parke, Jean Heim, John Kvam and the Gustafson brothers joined well-known Nevada casino lounge singer Frankie Fanelli. They recorded an album with Fanelli before splitting with him in August 1970. The band members went into different directions:&lt;br /&gt;
  359. &lt;br /&gt;
  360. Joe LaChew continued playing guitar with The Drifters, The Coasters, Billy Preston, The Righteous Brothers, Rose and Joe Maphis, Merle Travis, Dorsey Burnett, Jimmy Dickens, Zella Lehr (an RCA artist), Kathy O&#39;Shea (for MCA) and comedian Rich Little. Joe is now a music teacher in Nevada and still plays shows in the Reno and Lake Tahoe areas. He still enjoys writing music and has done commercials, film music and solo albums. Joe still writes songs for the more recent Birmingham Sunday reunions. Two of those tracks, &quot;Raw Rhythm&quot; and &quot;C&#39;Est La Vie Blues,&quot; are included here for the first time. The famous Birmingham Sunday parties continue to this day!&lt;br /&gt;
  361. &lt;br /&gt;
  362. Debbie Parke became an elementary school teacher and counselor in Lewiston, Idaho. She is now retired. Phil Gustafson retired from the Nevada National Guard. John Kvam was a bartender and journeyman cabinet maker before his retirement. Jean Heim became a country musician and has also retired. Monty Johns is a doctor in West Virginia. Ward Johns was the Vice President of Missile Records. He passed away from compilations due to a stroke in December 2009. Dave Gustafson became a successful musician and very wealthy real estate agent. He passed in January 2010.&lt;br /&gt;

They’re best remembered for frontman/guitarist Nik Alexander’s distinctive mashups of 70s acid rock and Cree Indian folk music. Alexander was fiercely proud of his heritage, and that connection to the land resonates potently in the band’s many politically-oriented songs. In addition to rocking out ancient folk melodies, they sometimes employed indigenous instruments like shakers and wood flute. Drummer Alfonso Kolb would frequently diverge into native rhythms as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On Dog Soldier, the group are tighter. Fringed leather tunics, furs, feathers, and loincloths are not the standard garb of the average rock band, and neither were many popular bands quite literally gushing with Indian blood and heritage. Likewise, few bands indeed carry high the philosophies, and traditions of their forefathers cultures as did Winterhawk. A Native American foursome that specialized in rapidfire, hard rock and roll. But the striking thing about this band is not so much the warrior beliefs, but their sincerity and genuine faith in themselves and their culture. Winterhawk appeared in the 1983 US Festival and has opened for such big names as Tina Turner, Santana, Country Joe and the Fish, Steve Miller, Van Halen and Motley Crue. The Electric Warriors LP was produced by Tom Bee of XIT, AKA Lincoln St Exit. A must have for Native American, Hard Rock, Metal music fans. Nik Alexander&#39;s song writing and guitar playing skills are the best.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We Are the People is a towering, defiantly timeless reminder of how much more civilized the North American natives were, compared to the imperialist invaders. There’s also Crazy, shifting between hammering riffage and a spare, cantering native rhythm; We’re Still Here, a surreal attempt at politically-fueled disco; Warriors Road, a subdued acoustic freedom-fighter anthem; and I Will Remember. a stark, mystical folk tune. Good to have this distinctive band back in print.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Unfortunately, Nik Alexander passed away in July 5, 2017 after battling with cancer.&amp;nbsp; His memory lives on through the timeless compositions he created, that will surely be remembered and enjoyed by every serious music fan and collector unto the ages of the ages.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXLwgiDH4eDqIWzGscjtsza2T7jYYebdwZA56NKvODFPKjQqm_gUvJlMloOYfR3EdccTV9ytRVAupq5o9CfKrkms30pDNAVJhf3kFuCjbM8gyinBjKIXIRA4nZJrJG26GOGgyTgxWw7Iwq1VBSSE3Z_EMNxdJqnYeo26EUYryCH-0R0FVbvE98AMot9OGz/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXLwgiDH4eDqIWzGscjtsza2T7jYYebdwZA56NKvODFPKjQqm_gUvJlMloOYfR3EdccTV9ytRVAupq5o9CfKrkms30pDNAVJhf3kFuCjbM8gyinBjKIXIRA4nZJrJG26GOGgyTgxWw7Iwq1VBSSE3Z_EMNxdJqnYeo26EUYryCH-0R0FVbvE98AMot9OGz/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

  394. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  395. “With Love: A Pot Of Flowers” was originally issued in late 1967 by Mainstream Records. It is testament to the quality of the groups and songs included, not to mention the A&amp;amp;R proclivities of Mainstream head honcho Bob Shad – as irascibly indefatigable as anyone you might choose in the hothouse atmosphere of the independent record business of that era – that the album plays so well and, if you’ll pardon the pun, really grows on you. That in hindsight it also plucked four bands from within the vortex of 1966 nascent psychedelia and places them in a historically fascinating context, is equally remarkable. This expanded version of “A Pot Of Flowers” includes additional material by other relevant groups released on Brent or Mainstream from 1965 to 1967, as well as the mono single mixes of selected tracks from the album and some unreleased cuts.&lt;/div&gt;
  396. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  397. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  398. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  399. The collection was amongst the first of a swathe of rock albums that Mainstream issued towards the end of the 1960s, the result of a remarkable A&amp;amp;R odyssey conducted by Shad across the United States, in much the same fashion as the location recording expeditions the producer had made to the south in the late 1940s in search of blues and R&amp;amp;B acts. Whether by luck or design, Shad decided to make one of his first ports of call San Francisco, which in early 1966 was well into the honeymoon period of its own socio-cultural renaissance, with the entire Bay Area awash with rock’n’rollers of all shapes and sizes.&lt;/div&gt;
  400. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  401. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  402. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  403. As our extensive liner note details, he had initially issued several unsuccessful singles by Bay Area groups on both Mainstream and Brent, but by subsequently collecting the best of these together on “A Pot Of Flowers” he unwittingly created one of the more satisfying surveys of the scene at the time. The acts in question were the Wildflower, pioneering folk-rockers who were an early fixture at the Fillmore and Avalon; San Jose’s popular garage band the Otherside; legendary East Bay punks the Harbinger Complex; and, from southern California via Texas, the idiosyncratic Euphoria, whose pathfinding, off-beat take on psychedelia has given the group a cult reputation.&lt;/div&gt;
  404. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  405. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  406. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
  407. The bonus material included on this Big Beat reissue doubles the track list of “A Pot Of Flowers” y adding appropriate folk-rock and proto-psych sides from other West Coast acts on Mainstream such as the New Dawn, the Word, the Ariel and Thee Unusuals, the latter a Northwest group featuring blue-eyed chanteuse Kathi McDonald, who would later to take Janis’ spot in Big Brother &amp;amp; the Holding Company (who were also signed by Bob Shad during his California sorties). We are also proud to include several stellar unissued garage rockers from the Ban and the Montells, as well as the original mono singles mixes of selected tunes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

The idea of the story concept album was born and in 1968 one band took the idea to its fruition, creating what can be argued to be the first true narrative concept album.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Beatles had taken a stab at the concept album with Sgt. Pepper, but as masterful as the record was, the idea only managed to last the first two songs, and Lennon himself disowned the idea that his contributions had ever been envisaged as part of the concept. The Small Faces had come out with Odgen’s Nut Gone Flake, but only the second half of that record followed a single narrative. It’s true also that there had been numerous albums with overarching themes over the preceding decades (Woody Guthrie’s Dust Bowl Ballads, Sinatra’s In The Wee Small Hours, Zappa’s Freak Out), but no artist had ever before created such a bold piece of work that took one story and told it through a collection of wonderful, twisting, swirling and, at times, intensely dark songs. On S.F. Sorrow, The Pretty Things unleashed their psychedelic masterpiece, and threw down the gauntlet to their contemporaries, challenging them to really step up. And step up some of them certainly did as the album went on to influence other soon to be more well-known ‘rock operas’.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;S.F. Sorrow followed their previous album, Emotions, a record that the band admitted to being embarrassing. For singer Phil May the situation was clear. “I think the album was hi-jacked.&amp;nbsp; So we had a choice, we either stood our ground and fought the company to seize back control or cut out losses and run.” Emotions was overdubbed with orchestral arrangements that saw it taken far from where they had originally envisaged and despite possessing a quality of song writing and melody that should have seen them garnering multitudes of new fans, the band refused to play much of it live. But that’s not to say that the process didn’t have some silver lining, as Phil continues, “One of the few positives about Emotions was we realised we needed to get into creating our own material, ie. writing.&amp;nbsp; Also Wally Waller and Jon Povey’s arrival provided us with another colour in our pallete.&amp;nbsp; Our new direction was already taking shape. We were already moving on.&amp;nbsp; And there was no love loss between us and Fontana.” Free from their contract with Fontana, the band signed to EMI. Money was not the aim, but artistic freedom was.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Emotions, however, was also to be a precursor to what was to follow for them artistically, as lead guitarist Dick Taylor says: “Without Emotions there would have been no S.F. Sorrow. It was Wally and Jon’s introduction to recording with Phil and I. The harmony blend started there, it was kind of a semi concept album, and despite the heavy handedness of most of the additional instrumental arrangements (with the exception of the Sun), it kind of got us thinking of breaking away from the guitar, bass and drum format. I have a snaking fondness for it.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Phil has previously stated that they did not want to go back and write another typical record so, inspired more by classical music and opera, they embarked on the idea to create a musical journey, a means of commanding their own destiny and releasing themselves from the treadmill they were on. With the idea of creating one 40 minute tale based on a short story he had written entitled Cutting Up Sergeant Time about the life of a soldier in the First World War trenches, the band developed a twisted tale from birth to death. Phil explains, “I think this is partly a “lost in translation” moment. The short story that S F Sorrow was based on was originally called Sargeant Sorrow. But I demoted him so that I could extend his story both forward and backwards, in youth and in age, to provide a wider context.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And extend it they certainly did. The story arc takes the listener on a literary journey of the band’s protagonist, Sebastian F. Sorrow, told through the songs themselves and the entwined paragraphs in the liner notes that accompanied the original album. From birth to death; through the drudgery of monotonous work that saps S.F.’s creativity and sees him labelled as a scab; his sexual awakening; the draw of love and lust; war; the death of his fiance; reflection on his life through a spiritual journey with the mysterious Baron Saturday; and finally a drifting into mental anguish and a depression and seclusion that leads him eventually to his death. The band holed up in Abbey Road Studios at the tail-end of 1967 and set to work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the studio the band, chemically-enhanced, had no problem spending days and nights pushing their studio time, and technicians, to the max. Early synthesisers were built; tracks bounced from machine to machine creating sometimes hundreds of layered tracks that formed the complex and schizodelic sound, one credited in part to the dedicated work of sound engineer Peter Mew, for whom S.F. Sorrow was his first full studio album. A baptism of fire no doubt it certainly must have been. Following an album that they didn’t want to play, The Pretty Things eventually emerged with a record near-impossible to actually recreate live, even for the band themselves. In fact it wasn’t until 30 years later that the band pulled it off. Returning to the Abbey Road studio where it was originally recorded and, with the help of Dave Gilmore on lead guitar and Arthur Brown narrating, they produced S.F. Sorrow Resurrection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Of course, in the studio, immersed in their own world, the recreation of the album was not on their minds. As Dick recalls: “I don’t think we gave a thought to playing it live, we were so absorbed in&amp;nbsp; making the album. Having Norman Smith as our producer enabled us to give free rein to our imaginations, and his own of course. To have worried about how we would play it would have put a limit on what we could do and we weren’t into limits at the time. (By 1998) we were doing more and more of it in our live set. I think it was our manager – Mark St John, who first suggested doing it live. Despite some initial misgivings that we could do it justice we started rehearsing it an the whole thing blossomed. I think it was one of the things which sparked off more interest in the album.” Phil continues, “The time was right to put the whole thing back in the spotlight. So with Snapper (our record label) on board it quickly developed into a live world web cast (the first, globally, I believe) and a DVD with the special guests. So – S F Sorrow was resurrected.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not only was S.F. Sorrow innovative and ground-breaking in its subject and sonics, but it was also a masterclass in the use of music to create mood, each song perfectly encapsulating its lyrical theme and the feelings of its protagonist. Album opener S.F. Sorrow Is Born chimes with optimism in its acoustic guitars and the following songs dealing with the innocence of his youth continue to float along on a more psychedelic folk wave, but when disasters strike and things turn sour, such as on Balloon Burning, the music takes on a dark intensity rarely seen before. It’s almost Krautrock before its time, the repeating two guitar notes creating a woozy effect over the pulsing rhythm. The introduction of Baron Saturday sees the band kicking up a tight percussion focused march, before Sebastian is taken on a floatingly trippy flight on The Journey. The sign off of Loneliest Person is an aching twinkle, a lonesome goodbye from our protagonist.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like any great work of art, it’s one that has also been the subject of continued analysis. Where does Sebastian die in the tale? At the end, as would be supposed? Or does he actually die in war on the fourth track, Private Sorrow (which finishes with an alphabetical reeling off of war deaths that fades out just before his name would be read), and is what follows almost a Jacob’s Ladder journey with the Haitian Voodoo priest guiding him to accept his fate and make his way to the underworld? If so, it’s a fate that he rejects, and thus condemns himself to hell. Dick throws water on the idea though. “Sorry, Sebastian didn’t end up hobnobbing with Paul McCartney minus his shoes, not unless Phil knows something different and just hasn’t told me yet.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“I’m unaware of the Jacobs ladder theory,” says Phil, “But I always believe the listeners right to interpret the lyrics and narrative as they feel it, it’s a subjective process.” Either way it’s not the most uplifting of stories and its dark subject matter, coupled with a lack of promotion from the studio led to low sales. However, it is a dark tragic odyssey to rival the great classics and one that not only influenced future concept albums, but also the sound of modern bands such as Kasabian. It was the band’s unrepentive drive to create a piece of art as opposed to a commercial endevour that resulted in a slow-burning fire that has had a sustained impact. Dick reflects, “Despite the somewhat disappointing sales when it was first released I always regarded it as an artistic success. It is great that so many people now regard it as an important milestone and an inspiration (thank you Serge). It’s actually quite extraordinary that it commands so much respect. What more could we want.” For Phil the blow seemed to hit harder. “It was kick in the balls and for my part if I hadn’t been deep into the ribs of the process of writing material for the next album – “Parachute” – the blow could have been terminal.&amp;nbsp; I like to think that it proves that real class will eventually get the recognition it deserves.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Although it was misunderstood at its time of release, especially in America where it was released after The Who’s Tommy and unjustly referred to by Lester Bangs as an inferior copy of Townsend’s rock opera, it has stood the test of time with grace and in today’s world of one-song downloads provides not a morsel, but a feast for the listener to consume in its entirety. 50 years on S.F. Sorrow should be held up as one of the greatest pieces of art of its time – the first fully-realised narrative concept album.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;by &lt;b&gt;Nathan Whittle,&lt;/b&gt; August 30, 2018&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ZnER2EFzG313B8tfYyONvkZnCv0luwQtl2CtDBu0wZ2PQOWoA3vGOlMWZBkAS8ZLc1dRtQMXLcUBS1i1eJe4YlTZrEeT4SYdu__qVJervKPiarc49F91KFs3Ol-EAmYLDsvuXqnbxRK-okCF-OLQKZOEDqmOpORlKHsz2sARDuK0wj5AAZlt-yfhaf1k/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ZnER2EFzG313B8tfYyONvkZnCv0luwQtl2CtDBu0wZ2PQOWoA3vGOlMWZBkAS8ZLc1dRtQMXLcUBS1i1eJe4YlTZrEeT4SYdu__qVJervKPiarc49F91KFs3Ol-EAmYLDsvuXqnbxRK-okCF-OLQKZOEDqmOpORlKHsz2sARDuK0wj5AAZlt-yfhaf1k/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tracks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

  519. 1985&#39;s Feudalist Tarts was Chilton&#39;s first studio release since 1979; after spending most of the 1970s as one of the few rock acts from the Deep South who displayed almost no visible R&amp;amp;B influence, Chilton belatedly embraced the pleasures of vintage soul music after moving to New Orleans and giving up alcohol, and Feudalist Tarts is dominated by covers of Slim Harpo&#39;s &quot;Ti Ni Nee Ni Noo&quot; and Carla Thomas&#39;s &quot;B-A-B-Y,&quot; with bare-wired originals like &quot;Lost My Job&quot; along for good measure. Cut in a single day, Feudalist Tarts is a bit rough around the edges, but Chilton&#39;s guitar playing is solid, and the band of veteran Southern studio players give Chilton as good as he gets (if not better).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Fading Yellow magically bound the softer end of psych with singer-songwriters and beat groups; what they had in common - aside from woodwinds, harpichords and cellos - was minor chords. The heart of Fading Yellow is rarely sad but always melancholy. Twenty volumes in and it still sounds magical. The usual high quality 45’s musically, this time from the USA and, as always, all the tracks doing their first entrance on any compilation. Groups including Magic Ring, Second Helping, The Mother Love, Luv Birds, The News etc All late 60’s popsike and other delights .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgevZy0svxx-hyerMAaP0TURnahjnzZXa4SmYt6oVuyWl2IPQWBZoJtBDE3_k6QjQPhwRp7IDf0zCnViFKUjwRsTMnKHOShgDSbAcmqYz2fLnXXS_gQnUC9KpDFZmmJRRnB-D-RgvhXqz91u5P3QzSepq6rbGj_LlJjue2rja8o7XORQsfX8AUx5Wh0dMxz/s1000/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1000&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgevZy0svxx-hyerMAaP0TURnahjnzZXa4SmYt6oVuyWl2IPQWBZoJtBDE3_k6QjQPhwRp7IDf0zCnViFKUjwRsTMnKHOShgDSbAcmqYz2fLnXXS_gQnUC9KpDFZmmJRRnB-D-RgvhXqz91u5P3QzSepq6rbGj_LlJjue2rja8o7XORQsfX8AUx5Wh0dMxz/s320/Disc%20copy%20Purple.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;Artists - Tracks&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;1.

  552. Tower of Power followed their self-titled gold album with an even better album that didn&#39;t enjoy similar sales success. Back to Oakland had tougher, funkier and better-produced cuts, stronger vocals from Lenny Williams (who was more comfortable as their lead singer), and included an excellent ballad in &quot;Time Will Tell,&quot; and a rousing tempo in &quot;Don&#39;t Change Horses (In the Middle of a Stream).&quot; The Tower of Power horn section reaffirmed its reputation in both soul and pop circles, and the album included a powerhouse instrumental. Back To Oakland was voted by Modern Drummer Magazine as one of the most important recordings for drummers to listen to.&lt;/div&gt;
