 It's a Beautiful Day was a band formed in San Francisco, California in 1967, the brainchild of violinist David LaFlamme. LaFlamme, a former soloist with the Utah Symphony Orchestra, had previously been in the band Orkustra, and unusually, played a five-string violin. The other members were his wife Linda (keyboards), Pattie Santos (vocals), Hal Wagenet (guitar), Mitchell Holman (bass) and Val Fuentes (drums). Although they were one of the earliest and most important San Francisco bands to emerge from the Summer of Love, It’s a Beautiful Day never quite achieved the success of their contemporaries such as The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Santana, with whom they had connections. It’s A Beautiful Day created a unique blend of rock, jazz, folk, classical and world beat styles during the seven years the band was officially together. In July 1971, It's a Beautiful Day were one of the last acts to appear at Fillmore West in San Francisco. Their performance of "White Bird" appeared as part of the 1972 film, Fillmore. The band fourth release was the live album Live At Carnegie Hall in 1972, they was on tour until 1974 when the band split up.01 - Give Your Woman What She Wants02 - Hot Summer Day03 - Angela And Animals04 - Bombay Calling05 - Going To Another Party06 - Good Lovin'07 - The Grang Camel Suite08 - White BirdLINK (RS) orLINK (FS) |
 Circus Maximus was a US band from New York in the late 1960s, who combined influences from folk music, rock, and jazz into a form of psychedelic rock. The band, originally called the Lost Sea Dreamers (Vanguard Records insisted on a name change, as the initials "LSD" were considered too linked to the drug culture), was formed in 1967. Jerry Jeff Walker, rhythm guitar and vocal, Bob Bruno, lead guitar, organ, piano, vocal, David Scherstrom, drums, Gary White, bass and Peter Troutner, vocal and tambourine; also some guitar work.01 - Travelin' Around02 - Lost Sea Shanty03 - Oops I Can Dance04 - You Know I've Got The Rest Of My Life To Go05 - Bright Light Lover06 - Chess Game07 - People's Games08 - Time Waits09 - Fading Lady10 - Short-Haired Fathers11 - WindLINK (RS) orLINK (FS) |
 Power trio from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, showed amazing songwriting talent and musical ability. Classic midwest American heavy psych with somewhat biker vibe Raging agressive Fuzz-guitar leads with great echoey-reverb effects, true sledgehammer bass ,crunching drums ,very melodic tunefull vocals. A Must for all 70 s heavy psych enthusiasts. This is a heavy rock album with lots of fine guitar work, particularly on the title track, Lost In Trance, the most psychedelic cut, and Enchanted. All the songs on the album were written by lead guitarist D. Walloch. 01 - Brotherhood02 - Just For A Moment03 - Lost In Trance04 - Oriental News05 - Enchanted06 - Middle Ancient LamentLINK (RS) orLINK (FS) |
 Another UK lost band that deserves more attention as their music can be categorized under progressive rock boundary. CZAR music is a blend of Procol Harum, The Beatles and Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett era) or simply a psychedelic prog rock band. In terms of structure, their music is quite straight forward like typical rock music structure. Melody-wise there are some similarities with classic bands at their generation (late sixties and seventies). The composition comprises the use of keyboard / mellotrons / organs that represent the tradition of early prog music.(RRR) Del Gough / drums, Bob Hodges / keyboards, vocals, Paul Kendrick / bass, vocals and Mick Ware / guitar, vocals01 - Tread Softly On My Dreams02 - Cecilia03 - Follow Me04 - Dawning Of A New Day05 - Beyond The Moon06 - Today07 - A Day In September08 - Oh Lord Im Getting Heavy (Bonus)09 - Why Dont We Be A Rockn Roll Band (Bonus)LINK (RS) orLINK (FS) |
 This Birmingham band started in 1967 and they released a couple of commercial singles on CBS which are now of little interest before moving to President in 1968. Their later singles, "Dont Torture Your Mind", "Woman Of The Green Lantern" and a couple of more were in a different class to anything else they made before. Their 1969 album is also quite interesting. Alan Eastwood (vocals), Roger Hill (guitar), Dave Pegg (bass). Dave Pegg was later with Ian Cambell Group & The Uglys & together with Eastwood and Hill was later in "Fairport Convention" & "Fotheringay".01 - Jack Rabbit02 - Hong Kong Blues03 - Rock Bottom Cinder04 - Woman Of The Green Lantern05 - Don't Torture Your Mind06 - Tailor Made Babe07 - Pendulum08 - Karen Train Blues09 - Too Much In Love With A Bad Thing10 - Mrs Cocaine11 - Bum's Puzzle12 - Keep The Motor RunningLINK (RS) orLINK (FS) |
 Blonde on Blonde was a guitar-led psychedelic rock group from South Wales. The band was originally formed in Newport in 1967 by vocalist/guitarist Ralph Denyel, drummer Les Hicks, bassist/organist Richard Hopkins and guitarist/sitar player Gareth Johnson. The band was named after Bob Dylan's 1966 album of the same name. They disbanded in early 1972. Even though they enjoyed strong reviews from music critics and achieved massive exposure playing before gigantic crowds at the 1969 Isle of Wight festival (coincidently headlined by Dylan), they never managed to generate much in the way of sales. In 1968 the quartet left Wales for London. Playing clubs such as London's Middle Earth generated publicity for the band, and Pye Records eventually signed the band. Their final album Reflections On A Life was released by Ember Records in 1971.01 - Gene Machine02 - I Don't Care03 - Love Song04 - Bar Room Blues05 - Sad Song For An Easy Lady06 - Ain't It Sad Too07 - The Bargain08 - The Rut09 - Happy Families10 - No.2 Psychological Decontamination Unit11 - ChoraleLINK (RS) orLINK (FS) |
