Hello everything! Here we are again, with more unknown garage/psych tracks from the wylde ‘60s!
The first one is a song by Simon T. Stokes. He is famous for his three different recording of his “Big City Blues”, and later for being in the Perpetual Motion Workshop band, with David Briggs. He was also writer for the Elektra label.
Then, the second single by David (Kershenbaum) & the Boys Next Door. They were known for “Land Of Love”, their first single (compiled on The Garage Zone #1). The band included David Kerschenbaum and Wayne Carson Thompson, later both famous producers.
The third song is by The Yellow Brick Road. Not very much known about them, this is their only single, released in 1968 on Bay Town. The other side is nice too!
The Organization was actually the later name of The Jolly Beggars, who recorded “Last Step Of Doom”! Both singles were issued on their Pamela Rose label. A great couple of tracks, for sure!
The fantastic “Highest Degree” was recorded by Canadian group For Keeps, released on Chariot Records in 1967, and later repressed by RCA-Victor Canada International the same year. The band included Lorence Hud, who had a solo career in the ‘70s.
Terry Haynes cut this killer 7” in 1966 on Jetstar Records. He was the brother of Jerry Haynes (Mr. Peppermint) and the uncle of Gibby Haynes, the lead singer of The Butthole Surfers. The Jetstar label is known for having issued a couple of 7” by The Five Americans, including their famous version of Slippin’ And Slidin’ (comped on Pebbles #10 and Teenage Shutdown #1). Terry Haynes’s single is the last rock on produced on the label, which will focus on Bobby Patterson’s soul records (14 singles!!!)
The Bittersweets are known for “In The Night” and his B side, released on Original Sound. They made up three singles under that name and then became the 20th Century Zoo (see their super “You Don’t Remember”, compiled on Psychedelic Disaster Whirl).
The Children Of Night song here is the instrumental B side of their better known “World Of Tears” (compiled on Psychedelic Disaster Whirl), issued on Bella records. The band was related to the other band issued on Bella, Johnny & the Reflections. Both bands included Johnny Di Bella, and Don’t Cry Little Girl was even re-recorded for The Reflections 7”.
Nothing is known about The Glass Managerie. They issued this single on Revolvo, in 1968. But it is GREAT!!!
Idem for Buck And The Hunters. They issued this great desperate folk/psych track on Westland records in 1965. The A side is fun too.
But here is the B side of the celebrated Count Back, by The Purple Underground!! Previously known as The Spades until 1966 (their “I’m Alright” is wonderful!), they cut two 7” in 1967, on Boss, the label that issued The Rovin’ Flames’ “I Can’t” (among others). The B side of the Spades single, “I Won’t Want You Anymore”, is also compiled in this volume.
There’s nothing known about the 50th Anniversary Zoo, only that they were issued in 1967 on the same label than the Scorpio Tube’s “Yellow Listen”.
The New Musical Express single was issued in 1969 on Atwell.
The Sunday Funnies remain unknowns. They issued their only single in 1967 on the famous Skoop label. This is the label which issued The Jaguars’ “It’s Gonna Be Alright” and Sanz, Incorporated’s “I’m Gonna leave You”, to name only the best known.
The Four were active from 1965 to 1971, and were from Elyria, OH. They issued 3 singles, including the second one under the name Sunny Four, on Epic, in 1969. This is the A side of their better known “Good Thing Going”, issued in 1967. But I prefer this un-compiled side a hundred times more! So get up and SHAKE IT OUT!!!
