 P.J. Orion & The Magnates are a prep-Garage band formed by Jeremiah Milbank III (lead guitar, vocals), Aristedes George Embiricos (bass guitar), Peter John Goulandris (rhythm guitar, lead vocals) and Peter Nicholas Goulandris (drums). The band members belonged to wealthy Greek shipping families (hence Magnates) and were students at the Groton prep school in Massachusetts. Of the numerous so-called prep Rock Garage albums to be released on small or private labels by prep school students in the mid-'60s, the self-titled one by P.J. Orion & The Magnates, recorded in New York City, is among the better ones. Though very rare in its original pressing, the record became fairly well-known among '60s Garage Rock collectors after getting reissued in the mid-'80s by "Eva Records".01 - As Tears Go By02 - We Gotta Get Out Of This Place03 - Eve Of Destruction04 - Under The Boardwalk05 - Sheila06 - Love Minus Zero07 - What Have They Done To The Rain08 - Bells Of Rhymney09 - GloriaLINK |
 The band were based in Greenwich Village, having relocated from Washington DC when they were known as The Button, (which was the final incarnation of The Hangmen). The Button line-up included drummer Bob Berberich who returned to DC, teamed up with two other ex-Hangmen and Nils Lofgren to form Paul Dowell and The Dolphin and later Grin. Graffiti's sole album was in some ways typical of numerous obscure psychedelic one-shots on fairly big labels in the late '60s: over-ambitious lyrics, a kaleidoscope of styles that butted heads as often as it blended, emulation of several passing psychedelic trends pioneered by bigger groups, and an absence of really good songs. All that said, as such albums go, it's better than average, though hardly noteworthy. That's kind of faint praise, but at least Graffiti were less ponderous than many such bands, with a sort of gossamer lightness to much of their material. As for what styles they mined, they're hard to pin down, though they're fairly influenced by West Coast psychedelia of the era, with some of the vocal harmonies so high that one can mistakenly think there was a woman in the group (there wasn't). Bits of jazz, classical guitar, blues-rock, psychedelic effects, and vocal harmonies both sunshine pop and Gregorian seep through from time to time as the band floats through ever-shifting melodies and styles. The songs and instrumental solos do tend to go on too long, however, and the songwriting isn't memorable.

 Newburgh, New York psych-punks the Jelly Bean Bandits formed in 1966. Singer Billy Donald, guitarist Jack Dougherty, bassist Fred Buck, keyboardist Michael "Mr. Addams" Raab, and drummer Joe "Laredo London" Scalfari originally operated as "the Mirror", regularly packing area nightspots like the local Trade Winds, Poughkeepsie's Buccaneer Nightclub, and Burlington, Vermont's Red Dog. In due time, they recorded a three-song demo reel that resulted in a three-album recording contract with Mainstream Records, however, unknown to Mainstream, these three songs represented the sum total of the Jelly Bean Bandits' repertoire, forcing the band to write enough additional material to flesh out a full-length LP in the course of a week. Their obscure psych rock debut album, recorded in less than 12 hours is as bizarre as it is tastefull. Every tune is interesting and worth the price of admission with a jelly bean mix of garage rock, punk, R&B and psychedelia.(DYHT)01 - Country Woman02 - Generation03 - Poor Precious Dreams04 - Another August Revisited05 - Going Nowhere06 - Happiness Girl07 - Goodtime Feeling08 - September Rain09 - Neon River10 - Plastic Soldiers11 - Say Mann12 - TapestriesLINK |
The Count Five was a 1960s garage rock band from San Jose, California, best known for their Top 10 single "Psychotic Reaction". The band was founded in 1964 by John "Mouse" Michalski (lead guitar) and Kenn Ellner (harmonica, vocals), two high school friends who had previously played in several short-lived outfits. After going shortly under the name The Squires, and several line-up changes later, the Count Five were born. Roy Chaney took over bass duties, John "Sean" Byrne played rhythm guitar and lead vocals, and Craig "Butch" Atkinson played drums. The Count Five gained distinction for their habit of wearing Count Dracula-style capes when playing live. The band members were rejected by several record labels before they got signed to the Los Angeles-based Double Shot Records. "Psychotic Reaction" was released as a single, peaking at #5 in the U.S. charts in late 1966. The band got along for about another year, but dropped out of view altogether when their only hit had fallen from public memory. Another setback to a potential career in the music business was the decision of the five members (who were between the ages of 17 and 19) to pursue college degrees.01 - Psychotic Reaction02 - Double Decker Bus03 - Pretty Big Mouth05 - My Generation06 - She's Fine07 - Peace Of Mind08 - They're Gonna Get You09 - The Morning After10 - Can't Get Your Lovin'11 - Out In The Street12 - Teeny Bopper, Teeny Bopper13 - You Must Believe Me14 - Contrast15 - Merry-Go-Round16 - Declaration Of Independence17 - Revelation In Slow Motion18 - MailmanLINK |
 The Flamin' Groovies were an American rock music band of the 1960s and 1970s. They began in San Francisco in 1965, founded by Ron Greco, Cyril Jordan and Roy Loney. They are perhaps best known for their song "Shake Some Action", which was later featured in the 1995 movie Clueless. The group have been called one of the forerunners to punk rock. The Groovies disbanded in 1992. This is 1991 a compilation of Skydog label singles.01 - River Deep, Mountain High02 - So Much In Love03 - And Your Bird Can Sing04 - She Don't Care About Time05 - Do I Love You06 - Sweet Little Rock 'n' Roller07 - Slow Death08 - Let Me Rock09 - Dog Meat10 - Jumping Jack Flash11 - Blues For Phylis12 - Can't Explain13 - Little Queenie14 - Feel A Whole Lot Better15 - Paint It Black16 - Shake Some ActionLINK |
 Bread was a rock band from Los Angeles, California. They placed 13 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart between 1970 and 1977 and were a primary example of what later was labeled soft rock, releasing a string of well-crafted, melodic soft rock singles. The band consisted of David Gates (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, violin, viola, percussion), Jimmy Griffin (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion), Robb Royer (bass, guitar, flute, keyboards, percussion, recorder, backing vocals), Mike Botts (drums; joined in 1970), and Larry Knechtel (bass, guitar, keyboards, harmonica; replaced Royer in 1971)01- Make It With You02- Dismal Day03- London Bridge04- Anyway You Want Me05- Look What You've Done06- It Don't Matter To Me07- The Last Time08- Let Your Love Go09- Truckin'10- If11- Baby I'm-A Want You12- Everything I Own13- Down On My Knees14- Just Like Yesterday15- Diary16- Sweet Surrender17- The Guitar Man18- Fancy Dancer19- She's The Only One20- Lost Without Your LoveLINK |

 One of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" (along with B. B. King and Freddie King), Albert King stood 6' 4" (192 cm) and weighed 250 lbs (118 kg) and was known as "The Velvet Bulldozer". He was born Albert Nelson on a cotton plantation in Indianola, Mississippi. During his childhood he would sing at a family gospel group at a church. One of 13 children, King grew up picking cotton on plantations near Forrest City, Arkansas where the family moved when he was eight. He began his professional work as a musician with a group called In The Groove Boys in Osceola, Arkansas. He also briefly played drums for Jimmy Reed's band and on several early Reed recordings. Influenced by blues musicians Blind Lemon Jefferson and Lonnie Johnson, but also interestingly Hawaiian music, the electric guitar became his signature instrument, his preference being the Gibson Flying V, which he named "Lucy". Born Under a Bad Sign is a blues album recorded between 1966 and 1967, and released in 1967 by Stax Records. This was the first album Albert King recorded on Stax, and the title song became a blues standard.01 - Born Under A Bad Sign02 - Crosscut Saw03 - Kansas City04 - Oh, Pretty Woman05 - Down Don't Bother Me06 - The Hunter07 - (When I Lost My Baby) I Almost Lost My Mind08 - Personal Manager09 - Laundromat Blues10 - As The Years Go Passing By11 - The Very Thought Of YouLINK |

 Bobby Vinton is an American pop music singer of Polish origins. Vinton is the only child of a locally popular bandleader, Stan Vinton. At 16, Vinton formed his first band, which played clubs around the Pittsburgh area. With the money he earned, he helped finance his college education at Duquesne University, where he studied music and graduated with a degree in musical composition. While at Duquesne, he became proficient on all of the instruments in the band: piano, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, drums and oboe. Vinton's birthplace of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania is also the birthplace of Perry Como. His hometown named two streets, Bobby Vinton Boulevard and the shorter adjoining Bobby Vinton Drive, in his honor. Canonsburg town fathers had plans to erect a statue in his honor, but Vinton vetoed the idea noting that the $100,000 planned cost could go to far more important town needs. 16 Most Requested Songs is a collection of 16 Top 40 hits that Bobby Vinton had for Epic Records in the sixties. It is the last of 29 collections in the 16 Most Requested Songs series that was released by Epic.01 - Blue Velvet02 - Tell Me Why03 - To Know You Is To Love You04 - Take Good Care Of My Baby05 - There!

 Stack was formed in Los Angeles in 1967 from a Surf act called "The Vandells" ("Rick Gould", lead guitar) and another local act called "Wabash Spencer Band" aka "The Fabs" ("Bill Sheppard" - vocals, "Bob Ellis" - drums, "Buddy Clark" - bass guitar, "Kurt Feierabend" - rhythm guitar). They rehearsed and played at Long Beach's "Marina Palace", and its owner, Bill Robertson, became their manager. While playing one night at the "Marina Palace", Stack was offered a recording contract with "Mike Curb"'s "Sidewalk Productions". They signed and 8-year deal with the company that gave them virtually nothing besides the opportunity to record their music. It did, however, enable the band to record "Above All" at several Los Angeles studios in 1969; unfortunately for the band, the album was shelved, and Stack became a tax write-off for "Sidewalk Productions", with no recourse other than to call it quits since they were still under contract.01 - Poison Ivy02 - Only Forever03 - Da Blues04 - Cars05 - Everyday06 - Valleys07 - Time Seller08 - Hot Days09 - Do ItLINK |
The Hook was a late sixties So. Cal. band that had a minor cult hit, "Son of Fantasy", that has to be one of the great neglected "heavy" rock tunes of the late sixties underground/garage band/psychedelica pop music movement. If you didn't live in So.Cal. at that time then you probably haven't heard of the band, but if you appreciate the stylings of such bands as The Standells, The Chocolate Watch Band, The Blues Magoos, The Seeds, The Leaves, etc., then you will eat this up with a spoon. They were a power trio, and the names of some of the tunes on this CD will tell you a lot about their musical philosophy ("Everything's Groovy", "Turn Your Head", "Plug Your Head In"). Their lead guitarist had a style very similar to Leigh Stephens of Blue Cheer, and while they can be compared to that band in some respects, they really did have their own style, fuzz tone/reverb and all.

Poco is an American country rock band originally formed by Richie Furay and Jim Messina following the demise of Buffalo Springfield in 1968. The title of their first album, Pickin' Up The Pieces, is a reference to the break-up of the Springfield. Throughout the years Poco has performed in various groupings, with the latest version still active today. The Forgotten Trail (1969–74) is a 2-CD collection of the greatest hits of Poco recorded during the group's work for Epic Records, which included their first eight albums (through Cantamos). Although this collection does not include most of Poco's biggest hits, which came after the group's move to ABC Records, it also contains both sides of a non-LP single, three remixes, three alternate takes and six unreleased tracks, all of which came from Richie Furay's original time in the band. In particular, the album includes an alternate acoustic version of Poco's first hit, Jim Messina's "You Better Think Twice", and four previously-unreleased songs from the Crazy Eyes sessions, including Furay's "Believe Me", which later became a hit for the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band.Disc 101 - Pickin' Up The Pieces02 - Grand Junction03 - Consequently, So Long04 - First Love05 - Calico Lady06 - My Kind Of Love07 - Hard Luck08 - Last Call (Cold Enchilada #3)09 - Honky Tonk Downstairs10 - Hurry Up11 - You Better Think Twice12 - Anyway Bye Bye13 - I Guess You Made It14 - C'mon15 - Hear That Music16 - Kind Woman17 - Just For Me And You18 - Bad Weather19 - You Better Think Twice20 - Lullaby In SeptemberDisc 201 - You Are The One02 - From The Inside03 - A Good Feelin' To Know04 - I Can See Everything05 - And Settlin' Down06 - Blue Water07 - Fool's Gold08 - Nothin's Still The Same09 - Skunk Creek10 - Here We Go Again11 - Crazy Eyes12 - Get In The Wind13 - Believe Me14 - Rocky Mountain Breakdown15 - Faith In The Families16 - Western Waterloo17 - Whatever Happened To Your Smile18 - Sagebrush SerenadeLINK |
 British prog rock act Skin Alley were a farsighted collaboration between Thomas Crimble (keyboards/bass/vocals), Alvin Pope (drums), Krzysztof Henryk Justkiewicz (keyboards), and Bob James (sax/guitar). Formed in the late '60s, they made inroads quickly and found themselves signed to CBS for their self-titled debut in 1969. That album, and its 1970 follow-up, To Pagham & Beyond, saw the band in top prog form -- a pastiche of folk, jazz, and rock that, although well traveled by this time, managed to delight more than a few critics with its freshness and vitality. Crimble and Pope moved on later that year and were replaced by Nick Graham (formerly of The End, Tucky Buzzard, and Atomic Rooster) and Tony Knight (ex-Bronx Cheer), respectively. With new members in place, Skin Alley's sound took on a more polished, mainstream approach and began prominently featuring the complex string, woodwind, and brass arrangements of Graham. Their jazz-rock fusion sound was still there, but with decidedly more polish and sophistication.(AMG)01 - Living In Sin02 - Tell Me03 - Mother Please Help Your Child04 - Marsha05 - Country Aire06 - All Alone07 - Night Time08 - Concerto Grosso (Take Heed)09 - (Going Down The) HighwayLINK |
This psychedelic album are among the most sought-after artefacts of British psychedelia. Only 99 copies of the album by this Blackpool-based band were pressed. Despite the fact the debut album was recorded in November 1970 it sounds like it's straight out of the Summer of love. Basically we're talking echo-laden organ-driven garage psychedelia which is marred only by poor sound quality. Eight of the eleven compositions were penned by Steve Coe and a guy called Mitchell, two were Steve Coe compositions and the finale, Live For The Minute, was the product of a Coe-Shakespeare songwriting collaboration. This has lots of fine guitar organ interplay. Other highlights are Witch's Spell and Storm On The Way, both notable for some punchy organ work and strong vocals and Self Declaration, which has lots of fuzzy guitar and cheesy organ. A couple of tracks, Josie and Madamoiselle Jackie veer more towards pop with a commercial edge.(CGR)

 "Jay and Gary Leavitt, along with Bobby Herne, made their first musical rumblings in 1966 as the Cobras, releasing the New England garage classic "I Wanna Be Your Lover"/"Instant Heartache". Fast-forward to 1970 and the brothers, joined by Ralph Mazotta (ex-Lazy Smoke) and Harold Perino Jr. (aka "Maris"), transformed into the hard psychedelic aggro Euclid, signed to Bob Thiele's Flying Dutchman subsidiary Amsterdam and were one of the few (only?) "rock" releases on either label (a notable exception being the rare Minx soundtrack by The Cyrkle). Herne, manning the producer's chair (a role he would later repeat for The Shaggs' Philosophy Of The World LP), created a "bad trip" spiked with backwards tape effects, darkly-phased vocals, all instruments set to "pummel" and an album title certainly eligible for the "truth in advertising" award!"

 Following a single release that failed to generate interest, the debut album by the Iveys was all but cancelled. It limped into several European territories and collected dust. Undeterred, the band switched out a member and changed its name to Badfinger and went back into the studio.

 Transatlantic Railroad never released an album during their lifetime at the tail end of the 60's. This CD is the first airing of this music since it was recorded. The group formed at San Rafel High School in Marin County in 1965. The original line-up was Steve Myers (guitar), Kent Housman (guitar), Jamie Kindt (bass) and Ron Vanbianchi (drums). The group recorded two tracks for a planned souvenir album which was not released. Mark Finch became lead vocalist in 1967 and the group released a single in 1968. At this time they also recorded material for an album but this was not released. The album material was released in 2001. "Camp Towanga" opens the album with a song that incorporates rock, jazz and blues. "Fried Chicken Blues" being an excellent up-tempo blues based song with some fine acid guitar. The guitar and keyboards which stand out on this album, with most tracks having some great examples of both."Good Times" ends the album with an up-tempo ballad similar to The Electric Prunes.01 - Camp Towanga02 - Fred Chicken Blues03 - Tehama Steet Song04 - Elephant05 - Old English 80006 - Irahs07 - Good TimesLINK |
