Preamble

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you find something of interest.
I hope to be able to upload some of my obscure 60s sessions from Top Gear Saturday Club etc. Strictly limiting this to 1967-1971.
If you have any sessions you think I might be interested in -leave a comment

Unknown Apple Acetate

A short post today.
Used to have an Apple Acetate with some tracks by an unknown US 60s band.
One track titled "Wendy" stood out from the rest.
Here it is -sounds decent 60s garage/pop to me.
Anyone know who it is.
The other tracks btw, were an OK version of Sgt. Peppers L H C B -a song I have little empathy with, an unknown instrumental,  and something pretty dire called "Mary Jane"
The acetate was a 12" with the standard Apple New York green custom label.

Play "Wendy" here

The GLASS MENAGERIE on John Peel's Top Gear.




Anyone remember them? Fantastic musicianship, and well crafted songs, -a mix of originals and covers.
Today's post features two tracks in session from a John Peel Top Gear show 23/6/68; both are covers,
"One More Heartache" & "You Didn't Have to be so Nice"
The latter (as Peel mentions) is their current 45, though the former did not make it to vinyl. Unless that is; the long lost demo only LP contained a version.
I do have the rest of this session, - massive versions of
"Love me two Times" & "Dear Mr.Fantasy".
If anyone is interested I can post these later on.
Still looking for a tape of their take on "Light my Fire" -can anybody help? Also any info on their demo album for Polydor.
Usual apologies for lack of fidelity, but I figure anything is better than nothing.

Listen to: "One More Heartache"

Back after a long break.

Back again with more stuff to ignore! Hopefully on a more regular basis.

Here is one track from an IBC single sided 12" acetate containing 5 powerful bluesy prog tracks.
A good guitarist and female singer complement what is probably one side of an LP.
The band name appears (unlikely) to be Randi.
Did this come out?
Who is it?
US or UK?
I'm thinking 1970 UK 
Usual caveats about removal if copyright is infringed.
The 5 tracks are:
Take you down/Loser/Blue eyes/You and me/Jimmy, and the track posted is "Blue eyes"
