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

GALAXIES IV Associated Recording Studios Acetate

Had this for decades, and its time to go -so Ebay it is.
This is the same group that later recorded "Piccadilly Circus", and more famously "Don't lose your mind"
From the sound I'd say 1965, and as far as I know did not get released.
To hear both sides, here is the link:

Tracks are "Tossin' & Turnin'" and "Don't Look Back"

Barely legible on the labels is the following text:
World championship olympics Rock 'n' Roll band
Management of E & B Enterprises
Box 2314 Trenton NJ 08607

COLOR WHEEL Emidisc Acetate

Back again: New location, and new computer!

Today's offering is an Emidisc acetate by an unknown group with a track "COLOR WHEEL"
Sort of Sunshine pop territory, but vastly superior to the endless outpourings of that genre, that compilers are resorting to, having run out of everything else.
Note the spelling. The otherside is the same song (possibly less distorted) but this time spelt "Colour Wheel", and marked for release.
Due to condition I have opted to upload the American spelt version.
So here is the question: Who is it? and Was it released?
I'm thinking the mixed spelling of colour and the Anglo American sound could make it Canadian c '67.
The group Three's a Crowd being the nearest I can get.
Answers on a postcard....

And here is the sound file: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/jezjmdexvuz1alp/color_wheel.mp3

Finally found out that the band is "Proof Of The Puddin' " sic. An Indiana band that relocated to Boston, and recorded a Harry Palmer song on the flip side. H P was guitarist and song writer for Ford Theatre, but was not in POTP.

My thanks to Colin Mason (Expo66) for the info.
