Rainbow Ffolly Sallies Fforth 1968 uk beautiful orchestrated swinging psychedelia 2005 remaster

Rainbow Ffolly Sallies Fforth 1968 uk beautiful orchestrated swinging psychedelia 2005 remaster Spectromorphic Iridescence from a Tube of Smarties For years, Rainbow Ffolly Sallies Fforth, PMC 7050 (stereo PCS 7050), has been the ultimate mystery album for collectors. Mint copies change hands at upwards of �120, an Italian bootleg has been issued, and yet the group members have remained anonymous. Time to unffold the tale of the Rainbow Ffolly, a band influential on the careers of the Moody Blues, possibly the Who and even the Beatles. The Ffollys story, with its incredible string of ffirsts, is unique amongst groups of the time. Only when it reaches the part where the band is forced to split through lack of income does the tale become the sadly-familiar Sixties shot-at-stardom that failed. Rainbow Ffolly, an art college band, evolved in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, from a group called Force Four. Jonathan Dunsterville picked the new name to conjure up the eye-searing colours associa...

The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown 1968

The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown 1968 Esta es otra historia hace tiempo que viene pidiendo lugar en este blog, y merece, por lo menos a mi consideraci�n, un lugar destacado aqu�, por la influencia y legado que ha dejado la banda con su m�sica y sus actos en escena, en vivo. De la Crazy world of Arthur Brown han surgido grandes m�sicos y grandes sonidos que marcaron el rumbo de la m�sica de la �poca, el rumbo de la visi�n psicod�lica y de algunas de las nuevas movidas culturales y musicales que tendr�an su origen en su �poca o los a�os siguientes. La Crazy World forma parte como de una especie de �rbol geneal�gico de rock, que relaciona su historia con los or�genes de otras bandas que pr�cticamente nacieron bajo su influencia, que nacieron bajo la directa participaci�n de miembros que salieron de la banda de Arthur Brown.  Dichas bandas, todas inglesas, serian ��Atomic  Rooster�� y ��Emerson, Lake And Palmer��, pero podr�amos irnos a�n m�s atr�s e...

The Bleu Forest A Thousand Trees Deep 1968 us tremendous garage psychedelia 2016 reissue

The Bleu Forest A Thousand Trees Deep 1968 us tremendous garage psychedelia 2016 reissue In late 1965, drummer Jack Caviness was recruited by guitarists and vocalists Michael Cullen and Gary Heuer. All were from the same small town, Moorpark, CA. The three of us worked on original songs written by Michael for 6 months. At that point we added Ed Steele on bass guitar and spent time bringing him into the fold. When ready we began playing small gigs around Moor parkand surrounding areas and received a good reception on the original music. Then we were booked into an open mic night at the Troubadour in Hollywood. That is where we were discovered by future music icon Jimmy Haskell. Mr. Haskell immediately scheduled us to record a demo at his home studio which we did. We could never have believed what happened next. Both Gary and Michael were drafted were drafted into the armed service as Vietnam war was going strong. Both evacuated themselves to Canada, they were there several months prior ...

The City Now That Everythings Been Said 1968 us amazing chamber jazzy folk rock 2015 remaster

The City Now That Everythings Been Said 1968 us amazing chamber jazzy folk rock 2015 remaster Seven years after 1960s girl group poster-girls The Shirelles scored a number one smash hit with �Will You Love Me Tomorrow� and three years before recording one of the best selling pop albums of all time, singer-songwriter Carole King was a member of a fledgling west-coast folk-rock outfit called The City. Built around King�s heavily refined Brill building song-craft and the tight, funky guitar playing of one Danny Kootchmar, The City had an extraordinarily brief moment in the spotlight � if the spotlight is even what you could call their momentary spark into existence � before King�s stubborn reluctance to perform sealed the band�s fate. Nonetheless, they managed to cut a very solid record with 1968�s Now That Everything�s Been Said, and it deserves to be slid back into the popular radar, not only as a curious artifact from one of pop�s most legendary songstresses, but as an extremely well-p...

Rare Earth Dreams Answers 1968 us fine psych funky soulful rock 2017 remaster

Rare Earth Dreams Answers 1968 us fine psych funky soulful rock 2017 remaster It is fairly common knowledge now but many Rare Earth fans had no idea that they were previously known as The Sunliners! It�s a complicated path that appears to start around 1960. Gil Bridges, Pete Rivera, John Persh, Ralph Terrana, Russ Terrana, Fred Saxon and Steve Fisher were all early members who played hundreds of club dates and record five singles for three different labels, Hercules, Golden World and MGM. In the middle of all this action, Fred Saxon, Ralph and Russ Terrana and Steve Fisher made way for Rod Richards and Kenny James, this line up would take them through to the MGM 45 Land Of Nod and the transistion to the name Rare Earth.  Many later biographies claim that they became Rare Earth when they signed to Motown.....this is not fact as they stayed with MGM/Verve to record their very first album called Dreams Answers as Rare Earth in 1968. The land Of Nod track was re - recorded for inclusio...

The Gosdin Brothers Sounds Of Goodbye 1968 us country folk rock milestone 2003 remaster

The Gosdin Brothers Sounds Of Goodbye 1968 us country folk rock milestone 2003 remaster Once youve heard them, how can you not like the Gosdin Brothers? Their 1968 album SOUNDS OF GOODBYE is one of the most satisfying blends of country, pop and folk-rock that the era produced, yet because it was aimed at the country market rather than the hip scene, the record, and indeed the acts importance, has been overshadowed by the frankly more copy-worthy Byrds and Burritos. As charter members of the country rock brotherhood that included Clarence White, Gib Guilbeau and Gene Parsons - all of whom provided the sparkling musical support for the duos studio recordings - Vern and Rex Gosdin brought a knowing savvy to the music that was tempered by the innocent freshwater sensibilities of their stunning harmonies, and the unsurpassed warmth of Verns lead vocal. With its array of fine songs, and sympathetic production by maverick Gary S Paxton, SOUNDS OF GOODBYE is a true jewel of early country rock....

RAINBOW After The Storm 1968 US Hard Psych West Coast BANDA AMERICANA OBSCURA E QUE GRAVOU SOMENTE ESSE ALBUM!! EM ALGUMAS MUSICAS VOC�S V�O NOTAR ALGUMA SEMELHAN�A COM OS TECLADOS DA "IRON BUTTERFLY"!! A SONORIDADE GERAL � COMPOSTA POR V�RIOS ESTILOS, MAS BASICAMENTE PODEMOS DESTACAR UM CLIMA WEST COAST PSYCH COM ALGUMA COISA DO HARD ROCK E GUITARRAS FUZZ!! VENENO RAR�SSIMO E QUE VALE A PENA CONHECER!! A short-lived Los Angeles-based project. Their album has a great cover. The contents incorporate several different styles. All the music is written by W. David Mohr and much of it is heavy with lots of fuzz guitar reminiscent of Iron Butterfly. It ranges from heavy soul (I Just Want To Make Love To You); hippie pop (Leaf Clover); a sorta West Coast sound which seems in places distinctly similar to Fever Trees San Francisco Girls; pretentious pop with lots of keyboards (Midnight Candle); gimmickry with lots of sound effects (Does Your Head Need Straightening?) to the very plesa...

The Crazy People Bedlam 1968 canada intense experimental theatrical multi psychedelia 2011 remaster

The Crazy People Bedlam 1968 canada intense experimental theatrical multi psychedelia 2011 remaster Little is known about this late-60s band other than they were Canadian, recorded their sole album Bedlam on the Burnaby, British Columbia-based Condor exploit label (home to a wide diversity of bands, among them Latin Holiday, Blues Train, the Surf Riders, and the Jimmy Cole Unlimited), and were intensely weird even for the era. From there, perhaps appropriately enough, everything gets a bit fuzzy. Much of the Crazy People legend is couched in mystery and subject to various rumors and speculation. It is thought, because of the label it is on, that the band was actually an exploitation studio project rather than a proper combo. The most plausible theory is that it is the brainchild of Johnny Kitchen, whose name may seem terribly arcane to the casual music fan but is well-known among 60s collectors despite the fact that his identity remains a complete enigma. What is known about Kitchen is...

The Aggregation Mind Odyssey 1968

The Aggregation Mind Odyssey 1968 La historia de ��The Aggregation�� es algo particular, y a pesar de que a trav�s de los a�os su �nico disco, "Mind Odyssey", se ha vuelto de culto, aun su historia es algo desconocida. El grupo se origina cuando 5 estudiantes recibidos, en carreras de musical en la �California State University�, son contratados para tocar en un parque de diversiones de Dysney, en alguna parte de California del sur. El grupo estaba integrado por Leo Potts, Lemoyne Taylor, Dale Burt, LeWayne Braun y Bayard Gregory. Ellos fueron contratados para dedicarse en tiempo completo a tocar en el parque, con buenas audiencias de p�blico; hasta antes de la grabaci�n del �lbum hac�a dos a�os que tocaban juntos, haciendo show para el p�blico del parque. Uno de ellos, Leo Potts, tom� la iniciativa y comenz� a contactar a musicos y gente del ambiente de la m�sica, para ver si pod�an sacar alg�n redito de ello, debido a que la banda ya hab�a comenzado a componer su material.  ...

The Gods Genesis 1968 uk splendid psych rock 2009 japan extra tracks remaster

The Gods Genesis 1968 uk splendid psych rock 2009 japan extra tracks remaster After leaving Stevenage based RnB outfit The Jimmy Brown Sound in early 1965 keyboardist / guitarist / vocalist Ken Hensley formed The Gods with Mick Taylor (guitar), John Glasscock (bass / vocals) and Brian Glasscock (drums). However this line up only lasted until June 1967 when Taylor quit to join John Mayalls Bluesbreakers and then The Rolling Stones. Hensley then moved to Hampshire where, whilst living in a van(!), he met up with bassist Paul Newton and put together a new version of The Gods which featured Hensley, Newton, drummer Lee Kerslake and guitarist John Konas. However despite building up a good following on the South Coast collage circuit Newton left (he later became a founding member of Uriah Heep) and was replaced by Greg Lake. With a residency at Londons Marquee and a contract with EMIs Columbia label it looked like The Gods would at last release something but, as Hensley recalls, "Just a...

The Frantics Relax Your Mind 1968 us magical trippy psychedelic rock rare issue

The Frantics Relax Your Mind 1968 us magical trippy psychedelic rock rare issue The Frantics were from the same era and area as The BlueThings the 60s and the Midwest. They were musicians from parts of Montana and North Dakota who formed The Frantics in Billings, Montana. All of them were in bands previously and some had released singles locally. They were fans of The BlueThings and the first Frantics1 single in 1966 was The BlueThings version of "La Do Da Da�, backed with "Route 66". Only 1,000 copies were pressed and today they are much sought-after by collectors. Through 1966 and 1967, The Frantics progressed as artists. After becoming the top draw in Montana and most of Wyoming and 9outh Dakota, they became a "KOMA" band (along with The Tracers, The Fabulous Flippers, 9pider &� The Crabs, The Red Dogs and The BlueThings). They headlined all over the country and were also second billed on concerts with The Who, The Young Rascals, The Everly Brothers, The...
