Green Lyte Sunday was a Dayton, Ohio, pop band who took a shot at the big time, signing an album deal with RCA Victor in 1969. The resulting self-titled long-player reveals a very talented group of musicians with a distinct ability at blending pop and jazz influences. But when it didn't become a hit, though the lone single from the album did hit Billboard's easy listening radio charts, they didn't get a second chance. Despite that fact, they apparently remained active in their local scene in various forms far into the '70s.01 - Happy Happy02 - If You Want To Be Free03 - Emmie04 - Glen Helen05 - Woman's Blues06 - Lenore07 - Chelsea Morning08 - High Up In The Sky09 - What Makes Him Happy10 - My Own TimeLINK |

 This very rare album was the work of a Rochester, New York band. The LP sleeve notes declare that their music is "hard rock in the style of Grand Funk Railroad and Uriah Heep". Overall the album is nowhere near that heaviness - there's a notable lack of thunderous riffing or screaming solos. Heep influences are more obvious in the soaring Byron-esque vocals on the dramatic ballads but an underlying soulful vibe and keyboard dominance puts them in the class of those NYC and Long Island Italian-American bands influenced by Vanilla Fudge or the Young Rascals, rather than the proto heavy-metal set. On their lighter side, they deliver a fine flowing rendition of the Youngbloods' version of Dino Valente's hippie anthem (Let's) Get Together. The original is supposedly very rare and has been hyped by specialist dealers with asking prices reaching a dizzyingly silly level - one copy seen going for $900 in 2001.(Av.)01 - Sixteen02 - Different Face03 - Where Do We Go From Here04 - Get Together05 - My Baby06 - You Better Find Someone To Love07 - I'm Gonna Make It08 - If This World Were Mine09 - Dreaming Isn't Good For You10 - Crabby Day11 - Don't Tell Me How To LoveLINK |
 The New Vaudeville Band was a group created by songwriter Geoff Stephens in 1966 to record his novelty composition "Winchester Cathedral", a song inspired by the dance bands of the 1920s and a Rudy Vallee megaphone style vocal. To his surprise, the song became a transatlantic hit that autumn, reaching the Top 10 in the UK and rising to #1 in the U.S. Global sales of the single were over three million. The track also won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Song in 1967. The lead vocal was sung by John Carter, formerly of The Ivy League, who had sung on the demo of the record, which Stephens decided to keep for the commercial release. An initial long-playing album was also issued in late 1966 by Fontana Records, also titled Winchester Cathedral.01 - Winchester Cathedral02 - Diana goodbye03 - 14 Lovely Women04 - Green Street Green05 - That's All For Now Sugar Baby06 - Shirl07 - Holiday Inn08 - Sadie Moonshine09 - Tap Your Feet10 - Amy11 - Peek-A-Boo12 - Rosie13 - I Was Lord Kitchener's Valet14 - Finchley CentralLINK |
