Hello everything! Yeah, we’re down to it again! After a short break, a new batch of volumes is to come! Here are another seventeen moody sydes from the finest sixties’ unknowns!! Doesn’t mean I haven’t anymore punks and psychs in stock, ON THE CONTRARY! Let’s see what we can find about these ones!
A1- The Shades Of Time were probably from Atlanta, GA. They issued one single in 1969. There is an ultra rare picture sleeve that shows three young dudes and gives the names of Keith, Jerry and Charles. (Writing credits give the following last names: Casey, Johnson, Reece. I have no clue which one is who.)
- Payle Records – No. 168 (1969)
A2- The Myrchents were from Mechanicsburg, Ohio. The band was active from 1965 to 1968. They’re best known for their great first single “Indefinite Inhibition” on Musicol. This one is from their second and last single, on Ironbeat (a sub label of Musicol). Both sides are great 12-string-guitar/byrds garage tracks, with the flip “Darkest Hour” being a great anti-war song!

- Ironbeat – HR 1159 (1968)
A3- The Sunsets were from Elgin, Illinois. Nothing much known, except that it’s very hard to believe this was recorded in 1974!! It’s the year the single was issued, but it really sounds like a 1966 cellar recording. The band seems to include one Michael Williams, Ted Robbins and D. Robbins. The release seems to be a promo-only.
- K.D. Records – TR 101 (1974)
A4- Very little on The Court Jesters. They issued two singles on Roulette records. The band apparently included prominent NY producer and songwriter Danny Jordan and songwriter Tommy Wynn, which leads me to believe it could be a studio creation of those guys. The song is written by Dave Goldstein.
- Roulette – 2751 (1967)
A5- Bobby Bond (real name: Robert William Reinhardt) was an American country pop and rock singer, born on February 9th, 1944. He started in the late 1950s in Bobby Bond and the Bandits with a couple of singles, then he had several albums in the early/mid-sixties, but this single released in 1965 definitely has some garage/folk reminiscences!
- Wand – WNB 1102 (1965)
A6- The Skeptics (or Jerry Waugh And The Skeptics) were from Bartlesville, Oklahoma. They released six singles between 1965 and 1968, including the killer “For My Own”. This is from their 5th single, issued with a nice picture sleeve in 1967. If you get the lyrics, the story is pretty dark! The single was produced by Rodney Lay, an important musician and producer from Kansas.
- Kampus – K 815 (1967)
A7- The Grodes were from Tucson, AZ, best known for their song “Cry A Little Longer”, but much more for writing and releasing the first version of “Let’s Talk About Girls”, rebranded as The Tongues Of Truth against their will by the DJ who introduced them as a French group on the radio! This beautiful song was released the same year, as The Grodes, on another L.A. label. They issued 8 singles over the course of the years, also as Spring Fever in 1968.
- Rally Records – 505 (1966)
A8- The Coachmen were from Lincoln, Nebraska. They issued four singles between 1965 and 1967, before changing their name for Alexander’s Rock Time Band (for one single in 1967), before signing with Super K production as Professor Morrison’s Lollipop, where they released two singles on White Whale in 1968, including the nice “You Got To Love”. The song featured here is the B-side of their successful first single “Mr. Mood”, which entered several regional charts within the top ten before reaching and holding the number one position for several weeks.
