Amen Corner was a successful British rock group, formed in late 1966 in Cardiff, Wales. The band was named after The Amen Corner, a weekly disc spin at the Victoria Ballroom (later to become The Scene Club) in Cardiff, Wales, where every Sunday night Dr. Rock would play the best soul music from the United States. Initially they specialised in a blues and jazz-orientated style, but were steered by their record labels into more commercial pastures. Their first singles and album appeared on Decca's subsidiary label Deram, but they left at the end of 1968 to join Immediate,where they were instantly rewarded with a No. 1, "(If Paradise Is) Half as Nice" in early 1969, followed by another Top 5 entry with the Roy Wood composition, "Hello Susie". After recording a final studio album, Farewell to the Real Magnificent Seven, with a cover version of The Beatles' "Get Back" released as their swansong, they disbanded at the end of 1969.01 - Bend Me, Shape Me02 - Judge Rumpel Crassila03 - Love Me Tender04 - Our Love (Is In The Pocket)05 - Something You Got06 - I Am An Angel (But I Can't Fly07 - Expressway To Your Heart08 - Good Time09 - Let The Good Times Roll And Feel So Good10 - Can't Get Used To Losing You11 - Lost And Found12 - Gin House Blues13 - I Don't Wanna Discuss It And AmenLINK |

 The Los Angeles-based Hamilton Streetcar were apparently a studio project built around the talents of ex-Appletree Theater mastermind/vocalist John Boylan, singer/guitarist Buzz Clifford (who'd enjoyed an early '60s hit with "Baby Sittin' Boogie") and Ralph Plummer. The trio somehow attracted the attention of the eccentric Lee Hazlewood who promptly signed them to his newly established LHI label. Debuting with 1968's "Invisible People" b/w "Flash", the group managed one follow-up single "Confusion" b/w "Your Own Comedown", before switching to Dot Records. The group was originally named on behalf of former member John Burge, aka Ian Hamilton.01 - Overture02 - Streetcar03 - Brother Speed04 - I See I Am05 - Where Do I Go06 - Now I Taste The Tears07 - Welcome Into Your World08 - Entre Acte09 - Wouldnt It Be Nice [To Have Wi10 - Silver Wings11 - Honey And Wine12 - Pleasant Street13 - Wasnt It YouLINK |

 In 1965, Steve Miller and keyboardist Barry Goldberg founded the Goldberg-Miller Blues Band along with bassist Shawn Yoder, rhythm guitarist Craymore Stevens, and drummer Lance Haas after moving to Chicago to play the blues. The band was contracted to Epic Records after playing many Chicago clubs. They also appeared on Hullabaloo with the Four Tops and the Supremes, and gigged at a Manhattan club. With Miller, the band's only release was the ten-track album Blowing My Mind in 1966. Miller left the group to go to San Francisco where the psychedelic scene was flourishing. He then formed the Steve Miller Blues Band which, when they contracted with Capitol Records in 1967, they shortened their name to the Steve Miller Band. The band, consisting of Miller, guitarist James Cooke, bassist Lonnie Turner, and drummer Tim Davis (who replaced the departing Lance Haas on drums), backed Chuck Berry at a gig at the Fillmore West that was released as a live album.
