"Simon Dupree and the Big Sound -Without Reservations -1967 UK":

Simon Dupree and the Big Sound's sole LP recorded and released prior to their one big British hit, the psychedelic pop single "Kites." It's in much more of a blue eyed soul vein than "Kites" , with hints of ska and pop, though it's brassy American styled soul with organ that carries the day.

This kind of blue eyed soul was just starting to pass out of fashion in the UK by the time it came out in 1967, though the LP did edge into the British Top Forty. Still, this has some pretty soulrock cuts, like their version of the Five Americans' "I See the Light", their cover of a young Albert Hammond's "Reservations" and "Love," a pretty cool exuberant number penned by Jackie Edwards, who'd written hits for the Spencer Davis Group.

"Julian's Treatment - A Time Before This-1970 UK":

This is a proto-prog masterpiece featuring wild organ runs, fuzzed out guitar, flute passages and trippy female vocals.The brainchild of this musical project was Julian Jay Savarin who was born in Dominica and moved to Britian in the early sixties. He was impressed by the London music scene and decided to form his own band to start his ideas about a SF trilogy he was working on. He started rehearsing with John Dover (bass), Del Watkins (guitar), Jack Drummond (drums) and Cathy Pruden (vocals). In June '70 the label Youngblood released their first album "A Time Before This".

The music is build upon the expressive and powerful vocals of Cathy Pruden and the compelling keyboards of Julian (lots of organ and some Mellotron). Some songs feature fine electric guitar work.

Great late 60's acid sounds, plenty of fuzz guitar, trippy studio effects, female vocals etc. The album is essentially crossover between the psychedelic and progressive era.'Flash' a somewhat mystical,trippy piece of psychedelia, 'Love' is experimental soft psychedelia with liberal lashings of woodwind and 'Evil People' an amalgam of psychedelia and progressivism with nice guitar work.

John Merrill (guitar/ vocals), Alan Brackett (bass/ vocals), Barbara Robison (vocals) 'or "Sandy Peanut Butter" as she was called at that time', Spencer Dryden (drums) and Jim Cherniss (guitar/ vocals).

"David Peel & the Lower East Side - Have a Marijuana - 1968 US":

David Peel is a New York-based musician who first recorded in the late 1960s, with Harold Black, Billy Jo White and Larry Adams performing as ' The Lower East Side Band'.
Though his raw, acoustic "street rock" with lyrics about marijuana and "bad cops" appealed mostly to hippies.

"The Paupers - Ellis Island -1968 Canada":

The group was formed as The Spats in Toronto during 1964 by ex-Riverside Three drummer Skip Prokop and rhythm guitarist/vocalist Bill Marion aka Bill Misener. The other original members comprised lead guitarist Chuck Beal and bass player Denny Gerrard.

Ellis Island, the second album by the Paupers, contains a front cover color photo of the four band members inserted on a Sgt. Pepper-style collage by Ollie Alpert.

The LP is a very psychedelic, would've been a blessing for the latter-day Blues Magoos and Electric Prunes. Without the hit singles those groups enjoyed, the Paupers "Ellis Island" never got the attention it kind of deserved.

"The Jelly Bean Bandits -S/T- 1967 US ":

Newburgh, New York psychpunks the Jelly Bean Bandits formed in 1966. Singer Billy Donald, guitarist Jack Dougherty, bassist Fred Buck, keyboardist Michael "Mr. Addams" Raab, and drummer Joe "Laredo London" Scalfari originally operated as "the Mirror", regularly packing area nightspots like the local Trade Winds, Poughkeepsie's Buccaneer Nightclub and Burlington, Vermont's Red Dog.

In due time, they recorded a three song demo reel that resulted in a three album recording contract with Mainstream Records however, unknown to Mainstream, these three songs represented the sum total of the Jelly Bean Bandits' repertoire, forcing the band to write enough additional material to flesh out a fulllength LP in the course of a week.

Amazingly, their eponymous 1967 debut is excellent, a freakbeat cult classic distinguished by Dougherty's emotive guitar and some innovative production techniques all the more impressive, the album was recorded in a single 12hour stretch.

An extremely rare psych-rock cult classic from Mainstream Records.

Cleveland, Ohio's Damnation of Adam Blessing scored only a few regional hits and barely dented the national charts, but artistically, they were far and away more original and innovative than any band from their hometown and could even make that case with plenty from outside Ohio.

"Chico Magnetic Band – S/T-1971 or 1973 France":

Super rare extremely psychedelic LP produced by Jean Pierre Massiera. Way out dark psych with funky grooves and Hendrix-esque solos. Insane late '60's styled heavy rock with plenty of weird electronic and backwards effects, screaming acid guitar work, weird vocals and assorted percussive and acoustic decoration.

A truly masterfull album featuring a very heavy version of Hendrix's "Cross Town Traffic".

Ricardo Marrero released a few classic salsa records for Vaya in the mid 70s, plays all percussion instruments, as well as piano and vibes. When he breaks out the vibraphone, his sound is reminicent of Cal Tjader and the great Tito Puente.
Ricardo has been at the forefront of the "Salsa" and "Latin-Jazz" musical scene since the mid 70's.He has arranged for The Fania All Stars, Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez, The 5 Stairsteps and most recently Ruben Blades.

"Daughters Of Albion - S/T-1968 US":

Daughters Of Albion is ostensibly the duo of Greg Dempsey and Kathy Yesse, with sweet harmonies and catchy tunes and an incredible group of players really brings in a huge, heavily orchestrated sound.

Daughters Of Albion's album released on Fontana in 1968. The album successfully contorts bright and breezy pop/psych into all manner of bizarre forms . Kathy Yesse's beautiful voice, Greg Dempsey's strange song structures and odd lyrics and producer Leon Russell's weird production tricks give the album a very "SGT PEPPER" quality.

"Bloomsbury People -S/T-1970 US":

Milwaukee-native Sigmund Snopek III may be one of the most fascinating artists to emerge from the late '60s and early '70s.

He instantly set out to start a band, forming the Bloomsbury People in 1968. The band immediately gained a degree of local success, playing frequently around Milwaukee and the surrounding region and recording a couple of 45s over the next couple years. The Bloomsbury People, he began playing an unconventional mixture of avant-garde rock, classical music, and baroque pop that eventually came to be characterized as progressive rock.

The Bloomsbury People released their sole self-titled album on MGM in 1970 and followed it up two years later with Virginia Woolf, although the latter was credited to Snopek III only, and the band disintegrated not long thereafter.

He continued making intriguing music, ranging from Top 40 pop songs to electronic pieces and jazz compositions to symphonies and operas in a career that lasted well over 30 years, culminating in his most conspicuous role as a sideman for the much-loved alternative pop band the Violent Femmes.

"Titus Oates - Jungle Lady -1974 US":

Jungle Lady is the lone LP from Titus Oates from Dallas, TX, a progressive hard rock five-piece that was never well known. The album, which is extremely well recorded, has, despite the band's Texan origins, a decidedly West Coast feel. Although their Southern roots do occasionally come to the surface in the form of some excellent Allman Brothers-style dual-guitar interludes and a couple of heavy bass riff-focused power tunes.

This service offers so many new possibilities, that makes blogger look like a child's toy (We wish that we had some programming skills to use these possibilities in a better way). Anyway, now we can have not only a blog but a whole site devoted to the music we like. There will be also a forum, that we would like to grow into a community for less known music, and maybe we can built a site containing each and everyone of the almost 2000 posts of the deleted Lost In Tyme pages, complete with the restored links, an advanced search or index, to be the absolute online music encyclopedia for the begginer and the veteran music lover alike.

"The Bachs-Out of the Bachs -1968 US":

Chicago garage combo the Bachs formed in the fall of 1965. Singer/bassist Blake Allison and guitarist Mike DeHaven first collaborated in a high school group called the PhasesDeHaven later played with lead guitarist John Harrison and drummer John Babicz in another teen band, the Apollos. In time Allison also joined the Apollos, and following the addition of singer/guitarist John Peterman, the quintet renamed itself the Bachs.

The band's sole record, has been classed by some genre fans as one of the greatest garage platters of the '60s, a veritable lost classic.

"Astrud Gilberto - September 17, 1969 US":

Brazilian vocalist Astrud Gilberto was a key figure in the bossa nova movement that moved beyond Brazil to sweep the world in the early-to-mid 1960s.

Astrud Gilberto was born Astrud Weinert, the daughter of a Brazilian mother and a German father, in the state of Bahia, Brazil, and was raised in Rio de Janeiro. In 1959, she married João Gilberto, later emigrating to the U.S. in 1963, when she sang on the influential album Getz/Gilberto featuring João Gilberto, Stan Getz and Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Astrud recorded a series of superb albums for Verve, culminating with her final album for the label, September 17, 1969. A bold departure from the jazzy bossa nova sound of her previous recordings, the album lovingly covered the very best that the late-'60s had to offer: The Bee Gees ( "Holiday"), The Beatles ( "Here There And Everywhere"), The Doors ("Light My Fire") and Harry Nilsson ( "Don't Leave Me Baby").

One of the grooviest records from the lovely Astrud Gilberto.

The Harvey Averne Dozen alternates vocal tracks with some hot instrumentals, more in a funk vein than salsa.

The album wins out with instrumentals like the original "Dynamite" , the Beatles cover "I Feel Fine," Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On" who has great brass and a stretched out tempo and vocal tracks like "Girl That I Love" and "Central Park".

"Screamin' Jay Hawkins - The Night and Day of Screamin' Jay Hawkins -1965 US":

Jalacy Hawkins, best known as Screamin' Jay Hawkins (July 18, 1929 – February 12, 2000) was an African-American singer.Famed chiefly for his powerful, operatic vocal delivery & wildly theatrical performances of songs such as "I Put a Spell on You" and "Constipation Blues," Hawkins sometimes used macabre props onstage, making him perhaps the first shock rocker.

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Hawkins originally set out to become an opera singer, and has regularly cited Paul Robeson as his idol. When his initial ambitions failed, he began his career as a conventional blues singer and pianist.
He served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific Ocean during World War II, primarily as an entertainer, although he claimed to have been a POW. Hawkins was an avid and formidable boxer in 1949, he was the middleweight boxing champion of Alaska.
In 1951, he joined guitarist Tiny Grimes for a while and recorded a few songs with him. When Hawkins became a solo performer, he often performed in a very stylish wardrobe, featuring leopard skins, red leather and wild hats.

S.J.Hawkins died on February 12, 2000 in Paris, France after surgery to treat an aneurysm. He left behind many children by many women, about 55 were known (or suspected)!!!

"The Steampacket-The First Supergroup -1962-66 UK":
The Steampacket was a British blues band of the 1960s, notable mainly for the fact that so many of its members subsequently became famous.
The group was formed by Long John Baldry after the break-up of his previous group the Hoochie Coochie Men.

Because of contractual difficulties, however, they never formally recorded a studio or live album. Tracks from tapes made at a rehearsal in the Marquee Club in London were released after the band split as an album, 'The First Supergroup'.
Stewart left in 1966 and the group disbanded soon after. Long John Baldry pursued a solo career, Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and Vic Briggs formed Trinity.

"Baby Huey - The Living Legend -1971 US":

Baby Huey (born James Ramey, January 1, 1944 - October 28, 1970) was an American rock and soul singer, born in Richmond, Indiana.

Baby Huey recorded his only album in 1970 and released in 1971, at the age of 26. By 1970, Ramey had developed an addiction to heroin, and his weight had increased to over 400 pounds. He began regularly missing gigs or turning up late, and, at the insistence of his bandmates, briefly entered rehabilitation in the spring of 1970.

James Ramey died of a heart attack on October 28, 1970, at the age of 26, and was found in his hotel bathroom by his manager. His funeral was held on November 1, in his native Richmond, Indiana. Baby Huey & the Babysitters album, was released after the death of their lead singer. Produced by Curtis Mayfield, the album featured several Mayfield compositions, as well as a cover of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and two original compositions by Ramey. Documentation eluded Huey, a veteran performer with a heroin habit and a super tight band the Babysitters.

Huey and the Babysitters were a modern marvel of the Chicago scene , alchemizing ribfest blues disasters and Curtis Mayfield ghetto requiems into psychedelic R&B epics.

A couple instrumentals show off the Babysitters mechanical unity: "California Dreamin'," an oddly appropriate cover with flute and the haywire dance cut "Mama Get Yourself Together." "Hard Times" and "Mighty Mighty," each Mayfield-penned, top them all.

Such a great record, too bad there was no time for a follow-up. Unfortunately, his weight and taste for drugs resulted in a fatal heart attack and the story ends early for Baby Huey .

"War - Youngblood -1978 US OST":

Funk group that started life in the early 1970s in Southern California. They formed out of the ashes of an earlier R&B covers group, The Creators (who also recorded as The Romeos and Senor Soul), initially naming themselves Nightshift before producer Jerry Goldstein discovered them and gave them a more distinctive name.

Their initial recordings were collaborations with Eric Burdon of English group The Animals, notably their first album 'Eric Burdon Declares War'. They later signed to United Artists and began releasing material on their own.

Their first album was not a big success but their popularity was growing and later albums were very successful. They peaked commercially in the mid-70s with their Number 1 hit 'Low Rider'.

War did the music for this funky soundtrack to an early Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs film, and although most of the stuff on here is just typical War stuff, there's one track called "Flying Machine" that's a long funky chase scene-type track. Other tracks include "The Kingsmen Sign", "Junk Yard", "Superdude", and "Youngblood".

Things started to go downhill for the group in the late 70s when bassist B.B. Dickerson left and another member, Charles Miller, was murdered. Various line-up changes followed but the original magic was lost and the group were not as successful, eventually becoming just a touring act.

Members: Lee Oskar, Lonnie Jordan, Papa Dee Allen, Harold Brown, B.B. Dickerson, Howard Scott, Charles Miller

"Eclection - S/T- 1968 UK":

One of the few British acts on the Elektra roster during that era, their sole album sounded unusually Californian for a British group of the period. Although based in England, Eclection were actually formed by one Englishman, one Canadian, one Norwegian and two Australians. Creatively, the group were dominated by guitarist/singer George Hultgreen (who wrote most of their songs) and guitarist/singer Michael Rosen (who wrote the remainder of the songs and usually took the male vocal leads).

Eclection, like several Elektra albums of the period, matched some pretty folk-rock melodicism with slightly arty orchestrated production and a psychedelic tinge. The lyrics and harmonies often evoked blissful, drifting romps through the clouds, with a youthful naivete and exuberance.

Kerrilee Male, one of the group's strongest assets, left the band in late 1968, a few months after the release of Eclection.

The group replaced her with American folk singer Dorris Henderson and did put out a subsequent single, a cover of Kaleidoscope's "Please." But the group disbanded in October 1969, after keyboardist Poli Palmer (who had just come in to replace Michael Rosen) left to join Family.

MEMBERS: KERRILEE MALE/vocals MICHAEL ROSEN/vocals, 6-string electric & acoustic guitars, trumpet GEORGE HULTGREEN/vocals, 12-string electric & acoustic guitars TREVOR LUCAS/vocals & bass GERRY CONWAY/drums, occasional backing vocals
