* *Herd was an English psychedelic pop rock group, that came to prominence in the late 1960s. They launched the career of Peter Frampton and scored three UK top twenty hits. The record label Parlophone dropped them after several unsuccessful singles, and they subsequently signed to Fontana. Once there the songwriters Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley, who had been largely responsible for a string of hits by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, orchestrated for them a unique blend of pop and flower power. After a UK Singles Chart near-miss with "I Can Fly" (1967), the haunting "From The Underworld", based on the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, reached Number 6 later that year with help from copious plays on pirate radio. It was followed by "Paradise Lost", which made it up to Number 15 in 1968. Frampton left by the end of 1968 to form Humble Pie with Steve Marriott. The remaining Bown, Spinetti and Taylor made another flop single, "The Game", then, minus Taylor, formed the short-lived Judas Jump with Mike Smith and Allen Jones, saxophonists from Amen Corner, and Welsh vocalist Adrian Williams. Taylor, who became a disc jockey, and Steele, reunited briefly for a one-off single "You've Got Me Hangin' From Your Lovin' Tree" in June 1971, to almost universal lack of interest. By the late 1970s, Bown had become a member of the UK rockers, Status Quo.* ** *01 - From The Underworld* *02 - On My Way Home* *03 - I Can Fly* *04 - Goodbye Groovy* *05 - Mixed Up Minds* *06 - Impressions Of Oliver* *07 - Paradise Lost* *08 - Sad* *09 - Something Strange* *10 - On Your Own* *11 - She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not* *12 - Fare The Well* *13 - Understand [Bonus]* *14 - ?

This compilation assembles 23 tracks from their demos for the Kama Sutra and Autumn labels, as well as a couple of later sessions recorded at San Francisco area studios. Much of this material has been bootlegged previously, on both vinyl and tape, but here it appears in its best fidelity to date by far. Those expecting psychedelic fireworks will be surprised. There's some acid-soaked folk-rock here (most notably "We're Not on the Same Trip" and "I Saw Her," the two best cuts), but on the whole it's much more of a travelog of roots music, with White blues, jugband, folk, country, and music hall influences much more to the fore. Sure the Charlatans never really got the opportunity to flex their muscles in the studio, but it's also true that they didn't possess either the songwriting or instrumental chops to rival the Jefferson Airplane or Moby Grape.* ** *01 - Codine Blues* *02 - Alabama Bound* *03 - I Always Wanted A Girl Like You* *04 - I Saw Her* *05 - How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away* *06 - 32-20* *07 - We're Not On The Same Trip* *08 - Walkin'* *09 - Sweet Sue Just You* *10 - East Virginia* *11 - The Shadow Knows* *12 - I Got Mine* *13 - Steppin' In Society* *14 - Devil Got My Man* *15 - By Hook Or By Crook* *16 - 'long Come A Viper* *17 - Sidetrack* *18 - Alabama Bound* *19 - Number One* *20 - Baby Won't You Tell Me* *21 - Jack Of Diamonds* *22 - The Blues Ain't Nothin'* *23 - Groom'n'clean Ad* ** *LINK <http://u.to/CfpG<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://u.to/CfpG&usg=AFQjCNHdD_HkFQ4FTp8woGeUyBnSv_K2ew>>* *Grapefruit - 1969 - Deep Water< http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/blog/grapefruit_1969_deep_water/2010-07-2...<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/blog/grapefruit_1969_deep_water/2010-07-22-509&usg=AFQjCNEqF1xQBuXtjCwntlS_czdTFByXvQ>> * *Grapefruit was a London-based British band of the late 1960s. Their brand of music was a typical late Sixties blend of rock, which they often fused with psychedelic effects such as phasers and vocoders, or classical arrangements. They were formed in 1967 as a result of John Perry meeting Terry Doran at Apple Publishing and Terry inputing Scottish-born singer and Bass guitarist George Alexander (born Alexander Young), a member of the talented Young family that also spawned his brothers George, the rhythm guitarist and founding member of The Easybeats and also Malcolm and Angus Young, both founding members of the Australian hard rock band, AC/DC. Alexander Young had chosen to remain in Britain when the rest of the Youngs emigrated to Australia. Alexander had played with The Bobby Patrick Six, with whom he toured Germany in the mid-1960s. Grapefruit's recording career spanned only two years, from late 1967 to the end of 1969. They released two albums (Around Grapefruit in 1968, Deep Water in 1969) and several singles, none of which made a significant impact on the charts. Grapefruit broke up in late 1969.* ** *01 - Deep Water* *02 - Can't Find Me* *03 - Thunder And Lightning* *04 - Lady Goodiva* *05 - The Right Direction* *06 - L.A.

They formed in Los Angeles in 1966 out of a folk-rock group, The Ashes, who included John Merrill (guitar/ vocals), Alan Brackett (bass/ vocals), Barbara "Sandi" Robison (vocals), Spencer Dryden (drums) and Jim Cherniss (guitar/ vocals). The group had earlier been known as The Young Swingers, who released two obscure singles. The Ashes released one single in 1966 on the Vault label, "Is There Anything I Can Do?" written by Jackie DeShannon. Dryden then left The Ashes to replace Skip Spence in Jefferson Airplane, Robison left to give birth, and the group temporarily disbanded. Alan Brackett hooked up with a new guitarist, Lance Baker Fent, and a new drummer, Jim Voigt, naming the new trio The Crossing Guards. Merrill and Robison rejoined, and the five-piece band became The Peanut Butter Conspiracy. Their late 1967 single "Turn On a Friend (to the Good Life)" failed to chart. However, they toured nationally, added a new guitarist, Bill Wolff, and recorded a second album for Columbia, The Great Conspiracy, generally regarded as their best. The group recorded songs for movies including: Angels from Hell, Run Angel Run, Jud, Cherry Harry and Raquel, Hell Ride, 2000 Years Later, and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.* ** *01 - Turn On A Friend (To The Good Life)* *02 - Lonely Leaf* *03 - Pleasure* *04 - Too Many Do* *05 - Living, Loving Life* *06 - Invasion Of The Poppy People* *07 - Captain Sandwich* *08 - Living Dream* *09 - Ecstasy* *10 - Time Is After You* *11 - Wonderment* *12 - I'm A Fool* *13 - It's So Hard* *14 - Peter Pan* ** *LINK <http://u.to/avlG<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://u.to/avlG&usg=AFQjCNHSGyC_HZhj7MmMPzMeUr7BbHKB4w>>* - *The Vejtables - 1965-66 - Feel...

Or Huey Lewis and the News. But truth be told, the beautiful city by the Bay already boasted a vital and valid music scene before it turned into a paisley-papered playpen.

The band released several commercially successful albums in the 1970s such as Uriah Heep Live (1973), but their audience declined by the 1980s, to the point where they became essentially a cult band in the US and UK. Uriah Heep maintain a significant following in Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, the Balkans, Japan and Russia, where they still perform at stadium-sized venues. Uriah Heep were the first Western band to play in Soviet Russia, under Gorbachev's policy of glasnost.They have sold over 30 million albums worldwide. Very 'eavy... Very 'umble is the debut album of Uriah Heep. It was released in the United States as Uriah Heep with alternate sleeve artwork, and with "Bird of Prey" in place of "Lucy Blues. The album was generally panned by the mainstream critical press upon its release, although it has since been acknowledged as an early classic of the heavy metal genre.* ** *01 - Gypsy* *02 - Walking In Your Shadow* *03 - Come Away Melinda* *04 - Lucy Blues* *05 - Dreammare* *06 - Real Turned On* *07 - I'll Keep On Trying* *08 - Wake Up (Set Your Sights)* *09 - Gypsy * *10 - Come Away Melinda* *11 - Born In A Trunk* ** *LINK <http://u.to/BflG<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://u.to/BflG&usg=AFQjCNF_Ej23_hZoXtrnnm_DbcCLVNQeSw>>* *Grand Funk Railroad - 1969 - Grand Funk< http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/blog/grand_funk_railroad_1969_grand_funk/...<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/blog/grand_funk_railroad_1969_grand_funk/2010-07-28-529&usg=AFQjCNGTvodZuWKeaH0HQDMnOfXNy28Y6A>> * *Grand Funk Railroad is an American rock band that was highly popular during the 1970s. Grand Funk Railroad sold more than 25 million records, toured constantly, packed arenas worldwide, and received four RIAA gold albums during 1970, the most for any American group that year. The current Grand Funk Railroad lineup uses the nickname "The American Band", a reference to the 1973 hit "We're an American Band". A popular take on the band during its heyday was that, although the critics hated them, audiences loved them. The band's name is a play on words of the Grand Trunk Railroad, a railroad line that ran through the band's home town of Flint, Michigan. Grand Funk is Grand Funk Railroad's second studio album, and was released in December 1969 by Capitol Records. It was produced by Terry Knight and engineered by Ken Hamann. This release (aka "The Red Album") was certified by RIAA with a gold record award, the first for the group. * ** *01 - Got This Thing On The Move* *02 - Please Don1t Worry* *03 - High Falootin` Woman* *04 - Mr.Limousine Woman* *05 - In Need* *06 - Winter And My Soul* *07 - Paranoid* *08 - Inside Looking Out* ** *LINK <http://u.to/0KhJ<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://u.to/0KhJ&usg=AFQjCNFfRMXelJlP4M2AKDfU1--25ILB0A>> * - *Cream - 1969 - Goodbye<http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/blog/cream_1969_goodbye/2010-07-28-528<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/blog/cream_1969_goodbye/2010-07-28-528&usg=AFQjCNGaqKlrc-httrAbSBIM8YkK34tNYg>> * *Goodbye (also called Goodbye Cream) is the final original album of Cream.

A pioneer of the psychedelic rock movement, Jefferson Airplane was the first band from the San Francisco scene to achieve mainstream commercial and critical success. The band performed at all three of the most famous American rock festivals of the 1960s — Monterey (1967), Woodstock (1969) and Altamont (1969), as well as headlining the first Isle of Wight festival. Reflecting a sense of humor that not all the Haight-Ashbury bands could share or even afford, The Worst of Jefferson Airplane remains one of the most amusing titles of a '60s rock album. The disc smartly collapses two big singles ("White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love," of course) and other well-selected tracks into a chronological mix that moves from flat-out hard rock ("It's No Secret") to the solo acoustic showcase ("Embryonic Journey") and the gospel/blues blessing "Good Shepherd." It peaked at #12 on the Billboard 200 and has since gone platinum.* ** *01 - It's No Secret* *02 - Blues From An Airplane* *03 - Somebody To Love* *04 - Today* *05 - White Rabbit* *06 - Embryonic Journey* *07 - Martha* *08 - The Ballad Of You & Me & Pooneil* *09 - Crown Of Creation* *10 - Chushingura* *11 - Lather* *12 - Plastic Fantastic Lover* *13 - Good Shepherd* *14 - We Can Be Together* *15 - Volunteers* ** *LINK <http://u.to/uKhJ<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://u.to/uKhJ&usg=AFQjCNGpeBRhGI7VpCVom7UGlgUhATlGXQ>>* - *The Dave Clark Five - 1966 - Satisfied With You<http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/blog/the_dave_clark_five_1966_satisfied_w...<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/blog/the_dave_clark_five_1966_satisfied_with_you/2010-07-28-526&usg=AFQjCNH0ijXB0xyKM_8HPqLYmc_aevOBxg>> * *The Dave Clark Five were an English pop rock group. They were the second group of the British Invasion, after The Beatles, to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show when the single "Glad All Over" knocked "I Want to Hold Your Hand" off the top of the British charts, then in February 1964 went to #6 in the United States. By early 1964, it was the DC5 (and not the Rolling Stones) who were the Beatles' chief rivals. It was promoted as a competition pitting the Merseybeat sound of Liverpool against the Tottenham sound of the London area. And while the Beatles ultimately prevailed, the Dave Clark Five notched 17 top 40 hits in the US (12 in Britain) between 1964 and 1967. The run that began with "Glad All Over” ended with "Please Tell Me Why” in 1966. In between came the hard-driving "Bits and Pieces,” "Can’t You See That She’s Mine,” "Any Way You Want It,” "Catch Us If You Can” and "Over and Over.” Even after the Top Forty string was broken, when "Satisfied With You” stalled at #50, the DC5 continued to make the charts through 1967, hitting the Top Ten once again with "You Got What It Takes.” By the time it was all over, the Dave Clark Five had sold 50 million records. This US album of 1966, was not released in UK. * ** *01 - Satisfied With You* *02 - Go On* *03 - Do You Still Love Me* *04 - I Meant You* *05 - Look Before You Leep* *06 - Please Tell Me Why* *07 - You Never Listen* *08 - I Still Need You* *09 - It'll Only Hurt For A Little While* *10 - Good Lovin'* ** *LINK <http://u.to/q6hJ<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://u.to/q6hJ&usg=AFQjCNHDwFhCESC4KKhLzFdmw7fi8OwuiA>>* *Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - 1968 - Rare Junk< http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/blog/nitty_gritty_dirt_band_1968_rare_jun...<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://freemusic07.ucoz.com/blog/nitty_gritty_dirt_band_1968_rare_junk/2010-07-28-525&usg=AFQjCNEl2vkafAiXJev2_OGLIGSPvtw9wQ>> * *This, the group's third album release, was actually an odds-and-sods type compilation of leftover tracks and singles that formed a respectable 10-song 30-minute plus LP.
