The Third Eye was a Heavy prog-psych group from South Africa. Ron Selby, who played lead guitar in South Africa’s premier heavy-prog band the Third Eye, recruited his kid sister to play organ in the band. And with then-14-year-old Dawn Selby at the keys, the Third Eye released a trio of psychedelic nuggets in 1969-70 that could have been stiff competition for the likes of such similar-sounding acts as Chicago Transit Authority, Alice Cooper, and the Electric Flag had the US and Europe not banned groups from South Africa on account of the growing Apartheid movement there. The scarcity of original copies of these albums, recorded and released on Polydor, make 1969’s Awakening… and its follow-up Searching and 1970’s Brother worth quite a small fortune on the collector’s market. 01 - A Sad Tail 02 - Selby's Hospitality 03 - Retain Your Half Ticket 04 - Stagemakers 05 - Awakening 06 - I Can't Believe It LINK
