The Tiffany System - Let's Get Together / Wayward One

Couple of pop/psych Byrds sound a likes from the Tiffany System from 1967 on the Minaret label. A side is a cover of the Chet Powers (aka Dino Valenti) penned song. It was covered by many people through the years. The flip is a very Byrds sounding pop psych tune. Pretty good stuff.

This Jacksonville, FL-based mid-'60s folk-rock trio was notable twice over, both for their actual sound, which was popular enough to earn them a more than decent living with local performances, and for the presence in their original lineup of future Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks, as well as future Santana bassist David Brown, and future Cowboy guitarist Scott Boyer. The band actually started out as "The Bitter End" circa 1966 at Florida State University in Tallahassee. Boyer, Brown, and Trucks had put the trio together with the intent of applying electric instruments to Dylan songs, à la the Byrds, and they became so successful just doing local and regional gigs that Boyer ended up dropping out of college. According to Boyer in an interview with Michael Buffalo Smith on the Swampland website, they crossed paths with lots of other local talent that showed promise, including an early lineup of Lynyrd Skynyrd (then still known as "The One Percent") and the Second Coming, whose members included Berry Oakley and Dickey Betts. The Tiffany System cut a single of "Let's Get Together" b/w "Wayward One" in 1968 for the local Minaret label, the B-side of which was impressive enough to end up as the opening track on Psychic Circle's The Electric Coffee House compilation, 40 years later.
After a move to Miami and some discussion, the group was re-named the 31st of February and signed to Vanguard Records, for which they released one self-titled album under that name in 1969, recorded at Bradley's Barn. Ironically, even as that album was making its way to stores -- and near total critical and commercial neglect, its Baroque pop sound being a little behind the times by then -- the group had evolved beyond a three-piece with the addition of a pair of brothers, Duane Allman and his brother Gregg. But that configuration, though they did play a lot around Miami, never got to make their planned second record for Vanguard, and went their separate ways. The Allmans went on to immortality, with Trucks as part of the band, whilst Boyer became part of Cowboy, alongside ex-We the People guitarist Tommy Talton et. al, and David Brown became a member of Santana in 1969, as well as working with Papa John Creach, Boz Scaggs, and others.

Yellow Payges - Jezebel

I don't know why this band doesn't get more love....? i don't own all the singles but i have a few and the full length lp and everything is really solid. Oh well.... Here is a great organ based garage rocker w/ cool guitar work from 1967 on the Showplace records label. File under; "Almost".....

Here is the Yellow Payges wiki info:

The Yellow Payges were an American rock band, led by singer Dan Hortter, who were formed in Los Angeles, California in 1966. Although their commercial success was limited, they toured widely and recorded ten singles and an LP before splitting up in 1970.

The band was formed by singer Dan Hortter in Los Angeles in April 1966. Hortter had been a member of a Torrance-based surf rock band, the Driftones, who had just split up. At a performance by his friends in another band, the Palace Guard (whose drummer was Emitt Rhodes), at the Hullabaloo club in Hollywood, he joined the group onstage to play harmonica and sing "I'm a Man". His performance so impressed club owner Gary Bookasta that he invited Hortter to bring his own band to support The Newbeats two weeks later. Hortter recruited guitarists John Knox and Larry Tyre, bassist Herby Ratzloff, and drummer Terry Rae (formerly of the Driftones) to play the gig. Rae was then replaced by Dan Gorman, and the group changed its name to become The Yellow Payges.

They began playing regularly at the Hullabaloo, and Bookasta became their manager. There were further personnel changes. Knox and Tyre left and were replaced by Bob Norsoph and Randy Carlisle; and Mike Rummans replaced Ratzloff. When Norsoph and Carlisle themselves left, Rummans moved to guitar and Jim Lanham came in on bass; he was soon replaced in turn by Teddy Rooney, the son of actor Mickey Rooney. In 1967, the group released their debut single, "Never See the Good in Me" on the Showplace label, a subsidiary of Cameo-Parkway Records. Its local success, together with that of follow-up "Jezebel", resulted in the band signing with Uni Records. They released the single "Our Time Is Running Out", and the group toured the US as part of Dick Clark's Happening '67 package tour of 45 cities in 45 days.

Rummans and Rooney left the band in mid-1968, and were replaced by Bill Ham and Bob Barnes, both from Fort Worth, Texas. Rummans formed a new group, Salt and Pepper, with Rick James, Greg Reeves, and others. The Yellow Payges - now comprising Hortter (lead vocals, harmonica), Ham (lead guitar), Barnes (bass) and Gorman (drums) - continued to release singles, and played the Hollywood Bowl as support to Eric Burdon and the Animals, the Rascals and Tommy James and the Shondells. They also toured for several months as support for The Animals before undertaking a similar role opening for The Beach Boys. Other bands with whom the group shared a stage included Buffalo Springfield, the Doors, Pink Floyd, the Byrds, the Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane. The Yellow Payges recorded the LP Vol. 1, released by UNI in mid-1969, and issued several singles including one of their best remembered songs, "Vanilla on My Mind", and a remake of "I'm a Man" which narrowly failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100. They also appeared on numerous regional television shows across the US, and on American Bandstand. Donnie Dacus briefly replaced Ham on lead guitar in 1969.

T he group were then hired to appear in a series of commercials for AT&T;'s Yellow Pages, which, according to writer Jason Ankeny at Allmusic, "effectively destroy[ed] their credibility and their momentum". According to Hortter, "We were put in these hideous yellow satin ruffled shirts with black velvet pants, and did these ridiculous commercials. It pretty much destroyed everything we worked so hard to accomplish." The group broke up in late 1970, during the recording of their second LP.

Michael & The Messengers - Lifs (Don't Mean Nothin)

A cheap new addition to the devils music, Michael & The Messengers - Lifs (Lies?) (Don't Mean Nothin) on U.S.A. Records from 1967. The flip to this (Romeo and Juliet) was on the nuggets box. This side is worth the price of admission just for the out of tune moaning in the last half of the song. Amazing. I hope u all had a good holiday, whatever it is u celebrate. If i don't talk to you before then, have a happy new year. I sure hope 2014 is better for everyone....

Jodi Feinsilver - Georgy Girl

Some more musical archeology with more found personal recordings. This one doesn't bum me out nearly as much the other ones i've posted. I guess for a few reasons. First, its not really personalized to another person. No message here. No sending this back home to Ma or the family with messages, just a young girl singing one of her fave songs and having a good time. and this was 1967, and if little Jody was 10 or so she could very well still be alive and well and living. 3rd the kids in the background hooting and hollering really make this thing for. I don't know how these things were made but that has to be a playground right? or were things sets up at malls and that just kids having a time back there? 4th, man that Brooklyn? accent just kills me! Love it. anyway i have a bunch more of these things laying around in various states of decay and figure i might as well post a few of them before they just rot away over here. Enjoy or not. till the next time, Cheers!

The Human Jungle - Gorilla Milk

When you milk a gorilla you better be kind!

Back to some weirdness... A little rocking psychedelic novelty tune from The Human Jungle w/ Gorilla Milk from 1967. Not really sure what was going on with this...? A weird answer to doing "The Monkey"??? Kinda late for that since the monkey hit its peak in 1963.... Anyway, another weird 45 that sounds cool my weird ears.... maybe you'll enjoy it too....????

The Doughboys - Everybody Knows My Name - Candy Candy

Bubble gum pop rocks w. a slight psych feel from 1967. Scant info is out there but then again i didn't look very hard. Any info would be appreciated. Sorta sounds like The Monkees or The Royal Guardsman, which aint a bad thing in my mind. I'm too lazy to scan the B side but if you want it let me know and i can do it..... lates.

The Poor - She's Got The Time (She's Got The Changes)

1967 garage pop from Colorado. Written by Tom Shipley of Brewer & Shipley fame (One Toke Over The Line). Nice little tune that is way too short....

The band consisted of sevreal members through the years but bass player Randy Meisner later went on to play with Poco, Linda Ronstant and The Eagles. Randy Meisner was also in the Drivin Dynamics before all this. I posted one of The Drivin Dynamics 45's HERE: way back when.

A little more info about the band and its members and other realeases can be found HERE: on a Randy Meisner band info page.

The Pur' swa' der...s - You're Mine

Goofy names are nothing new in Rock & Roll, with the misspelling of band names and use of Umlauts and symbols, i never really understood it and as you can tell by this 45 its been going on for a looooooooong time.

I pulled this little New Jersey gem out of a box of shit recently. A nice little garage number. Nothing to punky or wild but cool non-the-less. I'm always on the look out for shitz from my home state. Don't ask me why. I was happy to leave that over run w/ Jersey Shore type scum bags, bennies, old people & half a police state in the dust, yet i still feel the need to collect all things Jer-Z....

As for the Pur' swa' der...s here is some info i lifted: Winners of the 1967 New Jersey Battle of the Bands, The Pur'Swa'Der...s would later compete in the National Battle and finish in a very respectable sixth place. A very successful regional band, The Pur'Swa'Der...s toured for three years as part of a traveling auto show, and recorded a couple of original singles. The band would later morph into The Strimbling Blimbles and record a very successful single before calling it quits in 1971.

NIEMEN - dziwny jest ten swiat... ("Strange is this world")

Dziwny jest ten świat ("Strange is this world") - First Czesław Niemen's solo album released in 1967. At 20 December 1968, as first album in communist Poland, "Dziwny jest ten świat" was awarded with Golden record (160 000 copies sold).

Strange to find this Polish Garage Rock LP from 1967 in South New Jersey at a garage sale. South Jersey, where Monster Trucks and Deer Hunting abound and the only thing you are likely to hear coming out of car radio's is Sweet Home Alabama.....

This record was obviously played quite a bit by someone down in the South JERZ.... Pretty cool poppy garage rock sung in Polish. Check out some selected tracks...

The Human Instinct - Death of the Seaside

The Human Instinct are a New Zealand blues rock band that has been active since the late 1960s. The band currently consists of Maurice Greer (lead vocals and stand-up drummer), Phil Pritchard (guitar), Joel Haines (guitar) and Tony Baird (bass). The band has had more than 25 members and has changed lineups several times since its formation under the leadership of Maurice Greer.

The band is best known for their single "Black Sally" and their album Stoned Guitar, which features the Jimi Hendrix-inspired guitar work of Billy Te Kahika, professionally known as Billy TK.

This is a much more pop/psych style then the heavier stoned guitar....

Billy Harner - Homicide Dresser

I'm going out tonight to see Scratch Acid. And in a completely non-related topic here is Billy Harner, a Blue-Eyed Soul singer born in Camden, New Jersey, U.S.A. He is also known as 'The Human Perkulator'. I just bought this for a quater. It is from 1967. Dig!
