Obscure songs from the '60s that you love to share with people

"Looking Thru The Mirror" The Smoke (1968)

 

David McWilliams - The Stranger
Got this one on a Major Minor 45. (1969)

Damn cool.

 

Blue Eyed Soul - Faron Taylor

 

Federal Duck - Peace in My Mind

Federal Duck was a band formed on the campus of Haverford College in Pennsylvania.
"Peace in My Mind" is a track from their sole self-titled album, which was released on Musicor in 1968. Sort of soft-psych pop with a surreal and mildly jazzy feel to it.

 

Surprised this one has apparently not been shared yet.

Dance Dance - The Fourmost Authority

 

Fantastic track. Thank you for posting this!

 

Quinstrels - I Got a Girl

Obscure garage band from Tucson/Arizona.
They released that one single on the Moxie label in 1965.

They later changed their name to Dearly Beloved and released another three singles under that moniker in 1966/1967.

 

Them (Van Morrison) - Don't Look Back

 

Gidians Bible - The Dream

Acid folk psych garage from Bloomington/Illinois.
"The Dream" (b/w "Love Is the Answer") was their only single, released on the Golden Voice label in 1969.
Actually, they recorded five songs during these sessions. All these songs were released in 2017 on Alona's Dream Records as a 10" compilation EP "1969: The Golden Voice Recordings" for the first time.

 

Elite - My Confusion

 

Love it

 

Great!

 

Wait By The Fire - The Majority

 

I'll Come Softly - Heather

 

Speak To Me, Clarissa - Alan Trajan

 

I already posted it, but it's a great song!!

 

Great single. Here's a better quality rip:



Also pops up as being from Johnny Kidd & The Pirates but it isn't, it's that obscure band from New Orleans (this was the B-side of the weaker "Naughty Girl").

 

Thor's Hammer - My Life

 

The Quiet World of Lea and John - There Is a Mountain

Quiet World were an English band formed by the Heather Brothers in 1969.
They released only one album: "The Road" in 1970.
The group included, among others, brothers Lea and John Heather, and Steve Hackett on guitar who would later join Genesis.

"There Is a Mountain" was released as the flipside to their non-album debut single "Miss Whittington" on the Dawn label in 1969.

 

What's Come Over You - Carl Hall ( 1965 )

 

It's better than Lennon's original.

 

....Ditto "Say Georgia " and Oh Darling.

 

Pat Clayton - I Said No

Soul singer with a hard and heavy growl who released only two singles in the 60s.
"I Said No" was released on the Hollywood-based DRA label in 1962.

 

I love playing this loud, the drums are out of this world! Awoomp pah pah awoomp pah pah...and the riffs throughout the song. Read somewhere a massive amount of money for the time, musicians and time were necessary for this rock “symphony”.
