In the Spring of 1968 the Mary Butterworth band was formed. They enjoyed playing a variety of engagements around the Southern California area and in 1969, the recorded the one and only album entitled Mary Butterworth. This original, vinyl album was pre-sold to fans and friends only-- it was never available to the general public. Shortly thereafter, the group split up and never performed together again. "A fine progressive rock album which maintains a good standard throughout and features lots of good keyboards and drums. Phase II and Its a Hard Road are perhaps the pick of the bunch, but really every track's a winner. Recommended." Mike Ayling Brewer (Bass, Vocals, and Flute), Jim Giordano (Electric Guitar) Michael Hunt (Drums) and Mike Eachus (Hammond B-3). 01 - Phase II 02 - Optional Blues 03 - It's A Hard Road 04 - Make You Want Me 05 - Feeling I Get 06 - Week In Eight Days LINK
Jo Jo Gunne is a rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1971 by Jay Ferguson (keyboards, vocals and guitar) and Mark Andes (bass guitar and vocals) after they had left Spirit. With the addition of Andes' brother, Matt Andes (guitar, vocals) and William "Curly" Smith (drums, vocals and harp), they were signed to Asylum Records. Jo Jo Gunne had a Top 10 hit in the UK Singles Chart with the song, "Run Run Run", taken from their first album, Jo Jo Gunne (1972), which peaked at 27 in U.S. charts, and received airplay on U.S. album-oriented rock FM radio stations. The group did not maintain the commercial momentum of their first release. With Jumpin' the Gunne's tasteless album cover being blamed for drastically falling sales, they broke up in 1975. However they made several notable tracks, especially "Take It Easy", "Broken Down Man", "Neon City" and "Falling Angel". Bite Down Hard, from 1973, is the second release of the band. 01 - Ready Freddy 02 - Roll Over Me 03 - 60 Minutes To Go 04 - Rock Around The Symbol 05 - Broken Down Man 06 - Special Situations 07 - Take Me Down Easy 08 - Wait A Lifetime 09 - Rhoda LINK
Formed at England’s Essex University by pianist Pete Wingfield, Jellybread was originally completed by Paul Butler (guitar/vocals) John Best (bass) and Chris Walters (drums). In 1969 the quartet secured a recording contract with the exemplary Blue Horizon Records label and although largely unadventurous, their albums offered a highly competent grasp of black music, including both blues and soul. They provided stellar accompaniment on Lightnin’ Slim’s London Gumbo and B.B. King In London, but the unit dissolved in 1971 with the departure of Wingfield and Waters. Newcomers Rick Birkett (guitar, ex-Accent) and Kenny Lamb (drums) joined for Back To Beginning Again, but Jellybread broke up when the set failed to make commercial headway. However, Wingfield enjoyed success as a solo artist, session pianist and member of Olympic.(PPM) Pete Wingfield ,Keyboards, Vocals, John Best, Bass, Chris Waters, Drums, Paul Butler, Guitar, Vocals. 01 - River's Invitation 02 - I Pity The Fool 03 - Never Say No 04 - Chairman Mao's Boongaloo 05 - Evening 06 - I've Got The Forgot You 07 - Boogie Sandwich 08 - Rusty Blade 09 - No Brag Just Facts 10 - No One Else 11 - Don't Pay Them No Mind LINK
