EX OVO - EP (1971 German Hard Rock Psych)


EP SUPER RARO!! EP VERY RARE!!
REALMENTE É NOS PEQUENOS FRASCOS QUE ESTÃO AS GRANDES FRAGÂNCIAS OU VENENOS!!

ORIGINALMENTE, EM 1967, A BANDA SE CHAMAVA "INSPIRATION" E TINHA INFLUÊNCIAS DE BANDAS DA CENA PSICODÉLICA COMO CREAM, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE E JIMI HENDRIX!! MAIS TARDE, ENTRE 1970 E 1971, OS ÚNICOS REMANESCENTES DA INSPIRATION, O BATERISTA "FRITZ BARTH" E O GUITARRISTA "KOCH HARRY", REUNIRAM UMA NOVA BANDA E, PRA SIMBOLIZAR O NASCIMENTO DESSA NOVA ERA, BATIZARAM DE "EX OVO", UM TERMO LATIM PARA OUT OFF THE EGG, OU FORA DO OVO!! A SONORIDADE É TIPICAMENTE HARD ROCK COM FORTES PITADAS PSICODÉLICAS NO ESTILO DO QUE FAZIAM AS BANDAS "EPITAPH", "NIGHT SUN" E "SPERRMULL"!! POR ENQUANTO TEMOS APENAS ESSE EP RARÍSSIMO COM DUAS MÚSICAS, MAS HÁ RUMORES SOBRE UM LP GRAVADO PELA POLYDOR QUE ATÉ HOJE NÃO FOI LIBERADO!! UM PEQUENO FRASCO DE PODEROSO VENENO!! 

Originating from Koblenz as the 1967 beat combo Inspiration, with the line-up of: Steve Hamelink (vocals, bass, guitar), Rüdiger von Sanden (guitar), Fritz Barth (drums) and Harry Koch (guitar). During their 3 year history Inspiration attempted to live up to their name, and drew in a lot of more creative influences from the psychedelic scene, like Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Jefferson Airplane.

At the turn of 1970/1971 former Inspiration members: Barth and Koch got together a new band, and to symbolise their rebirth they called the new band Ex Ovo, Latin for "Out Of The Egg". They were a typically Teutonic hard-rock quartet with wailing guitars and a psychedelic edge, akin to early Epitaph, Night Sun or Sperrmüll. Rumour has it that an LP was recorded for Polydor yet it wasn't released. A shame, as their only record, a powerful gutsy rocking single, showed great promise.

Steve Hamelink, had originated with the Black-Birds (aka Blackbyrds) circa 1965, and departed Ex Ovo to work as the label manager for Ohr and Pilz, and then also worked for ZYX Music. His next band Pinball, formed in 1977, consisted of: Steve Hamelink (vocals, guitar, bass), Robyn Lynn (vocals), Wolfgang Wiegand (keyboards), Ewald Ramroth (drums), Herbert Zeitvogel (vocals, bass, guitar), Gabriel Gotenfels (guitar), and like Ex Ovo only ever got to release the one single: "White Bird / What A Beautiful Pinball" - 7" ZYX Rec 1901, the A-side being a cover of the It's A Beautiful Day song, housed in a suitably plagiaristic cover!

HOOTCH - Hootch (1974 US Psych West Coast Prog Rock)



DISCO SUPER RARO E OBSCURO!!
RARE AND OBSCURE ALBUM!!
ALBUM GRAVADO POR UM BANDO DE ADOLESCENTES DE WISCONSIN E QUE É BASICAMENTE UMA ROCK JAM INSTRUMENTAL COM GUITARRA WHA-WHA, COM INFLUÊNCIAS WEST COAST E TOQUES PROGRESSIVOS!! UM DISCO CONSISTENTE, NÃO EXCELENTE, MAS MESMO ASSIM MUITO BOM!!

------------------

Disco verdadeiramente obscuro e misterioso!! Com edição limitada e caseira, foi gravado por um grupo de músicos que nada se sabe sobre eles, e na verdade nem eram um grupo propriamente ditos!! Era um grupo de estudantes de música de uma Universidade de Wisconsin que decidiram deixar de ser amadores e gravar um disco como parte de um projeto da própria Universidade!! Em 1974 se meteram num estúdio e gravaram seis músicas que editaram no mesmo ano em LP com edição privada e limitada a 500 cópias!! A única informação que tem na capa do disco é o nome dos músicos da banda!! Nem mesmo consta os instrumentos que cada um tocava!! As 500 cópias do disco foram repartidas principalmente entre amigos e estudantes locais, razão pela qual, com o passar dos anos se tornou uma verdadeira peça de colecionador!!

Por tudo isso, talvez aqui temos um dos mais raros e obscuros trabalhos da música psicodélica e progressiva amadora dos anos 70!! Com bom trabalho de guitarra e um envolvimento West Coast Progressivo, típico do início dos anos 70, porém, com faixas mais curtas que pudessem permitir o desenvolvimento ou mudanças de ritmos pra mostrarem toda a sua qualidade instrumental!! 

Das seis músicas, quatro são instrumentais e duas com vocais masculinos e femininos, realmente muito boas!! Os temas instrumentais são dominados por partes de guitarras relaxantes e de uma sonoridade limpa, melódica e melancólica, no estilo de John  Cipollina e Jerry Garcia, com guitarras de efeito wha wha pra enriquecer os temas!! Essas musicas são bem trabalhadas e não chegam a ter momentos sublimes, mas muito menos momentos baixos!! O padrão segue sempre o mesmo na sua sonoridade e estrutura, e o que diferencia e que dá peso  aos temas e suas melodias é a guitarra que tem influências do blues, jazz, funk, soul e rythm blues!! Por se tratar de um grupo amador a produção do disco é muito boa!! A base da sonoridade do disco é formada por guitarra solo, guitarra rítmica, bateria e baixo!!

Há músicas que se destacam como "Arabian Style", um instrumental maduro e muito bem trabalhado!! Outros temas instrumentais como “You Can't Come In”, “African boggie” e “Blue Bird” tem qualidade melódica e atmosférica pra te levar a um estado de espírito de paz!! Depois temos os temas vocais “Golden Valley” e a ótima “Eyes of the Raven” com uma produção excelente!! Estas são as que mais tem aquele sentimento West Coast, mesclado com o progressivo inglês!! Em termos gerais pode-se dizer que o disco da Hootch mescla psicodelia experimental do final dos anos 60 com West Coast e toques progressivos, uma base ritmica nuito boa e que se adapta bem ao sentimentos das músicas!!

Esse disco chegou a ser reeditado na Bélgica em 1994 pelo selo "Rollocks", mas novamente numa edição mais limitada ainda!! Foram só 400 cópias!! Ainda conta com uma reedição recente de 2008 pelo selo Hummingbird que, apesar de custar uma pequena fortuna, tornou a banda um pouco mais conhecida pelos aficionados e colecionadores Europeus!! 

-----------------

Recorded by a bunch of teenagers from Wis., it's mostly instrumental jam rock with wah-wah guitar, rural flavor, some west coast influences, and even a few prog moves. There are also two vocal cuts, one of which has male/female vocal harmony. It's a highly consistent record, not outstanding, but very good nonetheless. Pressed in only 500 copies originally, it's been reissued a number of times.

"Originally released in 1974 on the Pro-gress Records label, this mysterious LP offers a blend of great experimental psych and mindblowing guitar jams. It was recorded as a high school project, and mainly given to friends at time of release, so very few copies were pressed and locally distributed in homemade purple silkscreened sleeves.

REPOST: Blues Right Off - Our Blues Bag (1970 Italian Blues Psych)



HIGH RARITY!! RARIDADE MAXIMA!! 
VENENO ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO!! BANDA ITALIANA COM VOCAL INGLÊS QUE FAZIA UM BLUES PSICODÉLICO DA MELHOR SAFRA!! A BANDA MISTURAVA BLUES E PSICODELISMO COM FLAUTA TRABALHANDO EM ALGUMAS FAIXAS!! VENENO RARÍSSIMO E PEÇA DE COLECIONADOR!! ALTISSIMAMENTE RECOMENDADO!!

A very little known group from Venice, but their only album, released in a very limited pressing, is among the rarest of the italian 70's rock. Not really a progressive rock album, this is surely a progressive work, starting from its odd jute sack cover. It was also one of the first (or possibly THE first) LP's by an italian blues band, as the blues was considered in Italy as a music only reserved to foreign musicians during the 60's.The band's leader, guitarist Claes Cornelius, was in fact a foreigner, from Denmark, that had moved to Italy in the mid-60's and soon played an important role in the beat era and afterwards.He had founded with sound engineer Ermanno Velludo the Suono Recording Studio.The album, Our blues bag, contains seven tracks, all sung in english and in the best blues tradition, based on electric lead guitar solos and high-pitched voice. All the tracks are original.Some Canned Heat similarities can be heard in the vocal parts or the use of a flute (like in Rushing wind), but generally the group has a personal sound.The band had been formed at the end of the 60's, and after its demise Cornelius kept as a session player, moving to the USA for a year, and then, back in Venice, contributing to Venetian Power's The arid land. He moved back to Denmark in 1974 and has stayed in the music biz since then, as a producer and musician.

MY INDOLE RING - Same (1968-69 Canadian Psych West Coast Acid Bluesy)


ÓTIMO VENENO!! BANDA CANADENSE COM UMA SONORIDADE PSYCHEDELIC WEST COAST BLUES, GUITARRAS ACIDAS, VOCAIS EXECUTADOS COM ALMA E UM SOM ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADO!! A BANDA ANTES ERA CHAMADA DE "THE JABBERWOCK" E DEPOIS "MY INDOLE RING" NUMA EVOLUÇÃO FANTÁSTICA!! AQUI TEMOS, ALÉM DO LP ORIGINAL, DEMOS E GRAVAÇÕES AO VIVO DA BANDA!! O ALBUM COMEÇA COM "ORANGE FLOAT PETALS" UM ROCK PSICODÉLICO E ÁCIDO MUITO LEGAL!! DEPOIS O DISCO PASSEIA LIVREMENTE ENTRE O BLUES ROCK, ACID ROCK E PSYCH ROCK COM MAESTRIA!! A FAIXA 3 É UMA OBRA BLUESEIRA, PSICODÉLICA E ÁCIDA!! SENTIMOS NA AUDIÇÃO GERAL ALGUMAS INFLUÊNCIAS WEST COAST DE BANDAS COMO JEFERSON AIRPLANE!! O CD TERMINA COM CERCA DE 20 MINUTOS DE MATERIAL GRAVADO AO VIVO!! VENENO CANADENSE RECOMENDADO!! 

This eponymous album is the first (and probably only) to document the music of the late-'60s psychedelic rock group My Indole Ring. A local legend in Vancouver, Canada, back in 1967-1969, the quartet did not even release a single but, 25 years after the fact, this CD presents demos and live recordings that were all previously unavailable. Judging from this hour's worth of material, My Indole Ring definitely had something going. The set kicks off with "Orange Float Petals," an impressive acid rock song that became the group's signature tune. Full of instrumental quirks and imaginative vocal harmonies, this one is anthology material. "Love People Everywhere," "Blue Wax," and the instrumental "Silk Road" are satisfying but more generic numbers. The influences of West Coast (Jefferson Airplane) and Vancouver groups (Papa Bear's Medicine Show) are detectable. The group rounded up its sets with blues standards, and its take on "Another Man Done Gone" and "Early in the Morning" follow the developing crossovers between blues-rock and pop at the time. The CD concludes with 20 minutes of live material. The sound quality takes a severe drop: The demos have been well restored but these recordings from the Retinal Circus in Vancouver remain murky. Besides nostalgic Vancouver residents, this album will be of interest only for psychedelic rock collectors. A limited-edition LP with fewer tracks has also been released.

CHICK SHANNON & THE LAST EXIT BAND - Tears On THe Console (1975 UK Folk Prog Psych Blues)



EXCELENTE VENENO!! GOOD POSION!!
ÓTIMA BANDA E UM SOM MUITO LEGAL!! O GUITARRISTA E VOCALISTA STEVE SHANNING ANTERIORMENTE FAZIA PARTE DA ÓTIMA E OBSCURA BANDA CHAMADA "JUMBLE LANE", CUJO ALBUM ESTÁ POSTADO AQUI NO BLOG!! EM "TEARS ON THE CONSOLE", CUJO VINIL ORIGINAL FOI LANÇADO APENAS 250 CÓPIAS, CONTÉM CANÇÕES MUITO BEM TRABALHADAS, ANIMADAS, IMPULSIONADAS POR UM BOM VOCAL DE STEVE SHANNING, ORGAN HAMMOND E SINTETIZADOR MOOG!! A SONORIDADE PASSEIA ENTRE O FOLK, PROGRESSIVO, PSYCHEDELIC E BLUES!! UMA FUSION MUITO BEM ARQUITETADA ENTRE ESSES ESTILOS!! VENENO RARO E RECOMENDADO!! RARE AND RECOMMENDED POISON!!

250 copies of the original vinyl were pressed and mostly sold in the Wakefield area of the UK.
In 1975 Mike closed down Holyground (temporarily as it turned out) to start a new studio venture in Doncaster. In the last few midsummer weeks he suggested to Steve Channing that some of his songs, plus some Mike and Steve would write later on, should be recorded. Mike asked the members of 'Lazy Days' to join in giving (as he thought before the recording sessions) a line up of Steve on vocal / acoustic guitar; Dave Wilson on electric guitar; Alan Robinson on bass; and John Shepard on drums. None of the band had met Steve on the first day of recording, and to Mike's surprise Lazy Days turned up with a Hammond organ player, Mick Spurr, who also added an early Moog synth to the line-up. The results, even on the first day, were magic - a lively set of songs driven by Steve's vocals and skills on guitar, and backed by a tight and fluid group. The songs, often blued based, were lovely. The atmosphere was electric, and pushed along by the knowledge that Holyground was ending. Steve and Lazy Days had been regulars since the 70's - Steve appearing first on Jumble Lane and Lazy Days had recorded there on several occasions and in different line-ups. This CD captures the end of an era. - Acid Visions -

REPOST: LINN COUNTY - Till Break Of Dawn (1970 US Rock Blues Psych)


HIGH RARITY!! HIGH POISON!! 
MAIS UMA POSTAGEM DESTA EXCELENTE BANDA AMERICANA QUE FAZIA UM BLUES ROCK COM PITADAS PSICODÉLICAS DA MELHOR SAFRA!! OS OUTROS DOIS DISCOS JÁ ESTÃO POSTADOS AQUI NO BLOG E SÃO TODOS UMA OBRA!! O PRIMEIRO DE 1968 ERA UM POUCO MAIS PROGRESSIVO E OS OUTROS DOIS PENDEM BEM MAIS PARA O BLUES PSICODÉLICO!! DISCOGRAFIA ALTAMENTE RECOMENDADA!! VENENASSO DE BANDA!!

History
Linn County formed around 1967 in Linn County, Iowa, USA as the Linn County Blues Band. In 1968, the band signed with Mercury Records, moved to San Francisco, California, and changed its name to Linn County. They released their first album Proud Flesh Soothseer in 1968 and toured, performing with bands and people such as: Albert King, Led Zeppelin, Sly & the Family Stone, Eric Burdon & the Animals and Ten Years After. They never became too well known. The band broke up after Clark Pierson left with Janis Joplin. Linn County released three albums from 1968 to 1970. Over the course of their existence, they had six band members.


Biography
Originally from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, this powerful, blues-based quintet - Stephen Miller (organ, vocals), Fred Walk (guitar, sitar), Larry Easter (saxophones, flute), Dino Long (bass) and Ray "Snake' McAndrew (drums) - subsequently moved to Chicago and then San Francisco. Their impressive debut for Mercury Records, 1968"s Proud Flesh Soothsayer, included the lengthy "Protect And Serve/Bad Things" which showcased the exhilarating interplay between the unit's instrumental protagonists. A more orthodox collection, Fever Shot, nonetheless featured several hard-edged, disciplined performances, while a final release on the Philips Records label, Till The Break Of Dawn, offered a vibrant reading of John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen" as its highlight. By this point McAndrew had been replaced by Clark Pierson, but the group was unable to capitalize upon their cult status and broke up soon afterwards. Miller completed a solo album, which featured the entire Linn County line-up, before joining the Elvin Bishop group. Pierson drummed in Janis Joplin's Full Tilt Boogie Band.

JOHN BERBERIAN & ROCK EAST ENSEMBLE - Middle Eastern Rock (1969 US Psych Rock Jazz Fusion)



AQUI NESSE DISCO O GRANDE DESTAQUE FICA POR CONTA DA FAIXA "THE OUD & THE FUZZ" QUE É A MUSICA TEMA E DE ABERTURA DO MEU PROGRAMA "ROCK N ROLL GOLDMINE"!! JOHN BERBERIAN, DESCENDENTE DE ARMÊNIOS E QUE MORAVA NOS ESTADOS UNIDOS, JUNTOU UMA TURMA DE MÚSICOS ALTAMENTE QUALIFICADOS PRA EXECUTAR MUSICAS DE SEUS ANTEPASSADOS DO ORIENTE MÉDIO!! A SONORIDADE QUE NOS OFERECEM FUNDE "VIBES" DO ORIENTE MÉDIO COM O ROCK OCIDENTAL, CUJO RESULTADO É VERDADEIRAMENTE FASCINANTE!! COM BASE NA MÚSICA TRADICIONAL DA TURQUIA, ARMÊNIA, GRÉCIA, ARÁBIA E AFRICA DO NORTE, CRIARAM UMA MISTURA DE RITMOS EXÓTICOS, CHEIO DE IMPROVISAÇÕES E ESPIRITUALIDADE!! VENENOS DO MUNDO BEM RECOMENDADO!!

Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
"Middle East ethnicity from New York City, more than two decades before the rather hyped 'World Music' movement. John Berberian, an accomplished oud player and a student in Business Studies at Columbia University in the mid-sixties, gathered around him a troop of skilled musicians to perform the music of his forefathers. With a foundation of traditional music from Turkey, Armenia, Greece, Arabia and North Africa, they created a captivating blend of exotic rhythms, melodies and inprovisations on the first two LPs, transporting the listener to bustling bazaars and scorched sands. Oud Artistry is an album of infinite beauty and one of the best fusion LP's ever made. Every track is a winner. The music radiates warmth, spirituality and tension, while blending Arabian, Armenian and Turkish material with ease and grace. Most strongly recommended! The pricey and much-sought Music Of The Middle East ups the swing'n'swirl factor with some frantic whirling-dervish workouts. The flamenco-like flourishes in Oud Solo are irresistible. A truly uplifting selection that has thankfully been reissued. Music And Gibran is a collaboration with Rosko, a DJ at WNEW-FM. Subtitled 'A Contemporary Interpretation Of The Author Of 'The Prophet' ', this is a predominantly- spoken mystical journey through the works of Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese poet who died in 1931. One of Gibran's books, The Broken Wings, was made into a film at the time of the LP and won an award at the Sorrento Film Festival. Middle East Rock is Berberian's most accessible album for the curious. Here he fuses Middle Eastern vibes with Western rock to produce some fascinating results."


From the original liner notes I have the following essential information:

"The Oud and The Fuzz" is an original sound that derived from the Druze tribe of Northern Africa.
"Chem-O-Chem" is a popular Armenian song.
6/8 is the traditional rhythm for Armenian dances. This features lead vocalist Bob Tashjian.
"Flying Hye" (with 'hye' referring to (flying) Armenian) starts in 9/8 which changes to 6/8, and has a melody taken from the Greek dance form of Tsamiko.
Also "3/8 + 5/8= 8/8" refers to how complex Middle Eastern melodies can build up, based upon Turkish classical music. Because here, the 8/8 is broken up it gives the piece a special and also typical Turkish drive.
"The magic ground" is a based upon A minor (or Kurdi for Arab music), which takes off in 2/4, then breaks into a swing. This is a groundbreaking recording that will appeal to fans of Kaleidoscope (US).

Art - Supernaturally Fairy Tales (1967 UK Psychedelic Heavy Acid Rock)



BANDA BRITÂNICA QUE PRODUZIU APENAS UM FRASCO DE VENENO, PORÉM DE EFEITO GARANTIDO!! A BANDA DUROU APENAS SEIS MESES E DEPOIS DESSE ALBUM MUDA O NOME PARA "SPOOKY TOOTH", TORNANDO-SE UM POUCO MAIS CONHECIDA!! TEM ALGUNS QUE CONSIDERAM ESSE DISCO O PRIMEIRO DA SPOOKY TOOTH, MAS EU NÃO CONCORDO COM ISSO, VISTO QUE, APESAR DE SEREM OS MESMOS COMPONENTES, A SONORIDADE MUDA MUITO!! ENQUANTO "ART" PASSEIA PELO PSICODELISMO COM PITADAS HEAVY, GUITARRAS FUZZY, MELLOTRON E VOCAIS ACIDOS, O "SPOOKY TOOTH" FAZIA UM HARD ROCK COM PITADAS BLUES E PROGRESSIVAS!! PORTANTO, TRATA-SE DE DUAS BANDAS DISTINTAS NO MEU ENTENDIMENTO!! "ART" FAZIA UM SOM QUE NÃO LIMITAVA-SE NAS FORMAS TRADICIONAIS DO ROCK, PELO MENOS PARA OS PADRÕES DE 1967!! VENENO RECOMENDADO!!

All members of Art sooner or later met again in Spooky Tooth!!
The heavy guitars and organ put this on the path to progressive rock, but the songs are rather more on the straightforward and popish side than those that Spooky Tooth would play when Art evolved into that group. "I Think I'm Going Weird" points to the morbid streak that would become sharper in Spooky Tooth; "African Thing," with its long African-styled drum solo, is the sort of strange, at least by the standards of 1967, item that groups would throw in to show they weren't limiting themselves to traditional rock forms anymore; "Come On Up" is almost a soul-rocker throwback to the V.I.P.s days; and the title track, with its mellotrons, is as close as Art got to the trippy baroque/whimsical mood that blew through so much British psychedelia in 1967 and 1968.

FIRST CHIPS - Volume One (1972 US Psych Folk Bluesy)



ALBUM RARÍSSIMO COM APENAS 500 CÓPIAS PRENSADAS E DISTRIBUÍDAS PESSOALMENTE PELO MULTI-INSTRUMENTISTA VYTO BELESKA QUE ERA "O CARA" DA BANDA!! NA VERDADE "FIRST CHIPS" ERA ELE APOIADO POR VÁRIOS MUSICOS DE BANDAS DIFERENTES E AMIGOS DO CARA!! A SONORIDADE PASSA PELO PSICODELISMO, FOLK, BLUES E MUITA EXPERIMENTAÇÃO!! VENENO RARÍSSIMO E RECOMENDADO!!

First Chips is actually Vyto Beleska backed by various musicians which were probably the different bands he was in or other musician friends....500 copies pressed, distributed personally by Beleska. 

Only comparable to A-Austr in terms of audacity and forward-thinkingness, this is, for me, the pinnacle of the US private press scene, a whirlpool of an album that sucks you in unexpected and never lets breathe until the very last note. Early brainchild of the songwriter extraordinaire Vyto B (who later did a more, um, normal, but no less brilliant and whacked out song cycle on his "Trincentennial 2076" album), First Chips were all around the map from the get-go - there is proto-punk, folk, druggy psychedelia and even radical freeform noise outbursts on "Volume One", that could easily pass for a decent Nihilist Spasm Band tune. One song is a dead ringer for Pere Ubu (six years before the fact!), another sounds like a lost outtake from the Astronauts' "Peter Pan Hits the Suburbs" classic (nine years before the fact!). A startlingly inventive record, and one of the few truly mandatory items for both psych and prog collectors. Love has happened again.

B.F. Trike - B.F. Trike (1971 US Hard Psych Rock)


A BANDA ANTES SE CHAMAVA "HICKORY WIND" E COM ESSE NOME LANÇARAM UM BOM ALBUM EM 1969!! DEPOIS JÁ COMO "B.F. TRIKE" GRAVARAM ESSE ÓTIMO VENENO ONDE A SONORIDADE, APESAR DE SER HARD PSYCH, É BASTANTE VARIADA!! O DISCO FOI GRAVADO EM 1971 PELA GRAVADORA RCA, MAS SÓ FOI LANÇADO EM 1996!! O DISCO NO GERAL É MUITO BOM, MAS O DESTAQUE FICA PRA BALADA "SUNSHINE" QUE MATA A PAU!! VENENO RECOMENDADO!!!

Poison recommended and musically it’s quite varied but right ‘in’ with the heavy rock/psych school of the time!! Band ex-Hickory Wind!! The Indiana band Hickory Wind made just one self-titled album in 1969, pressed in a run of 100 copies!! Later changed its name to B.F. Trike and recorded an unreleased album for RCA in Nashville in the early '70s, though it was eventually issued on a small collector label in the late '90!!
