Schauffer and Rusch had played together before in other bands. In the summer of 1968, they contacted Eddy von Overheidt and Jürgen Argast – and "Fashion Pink" was born. The band was complete when Joe Koinzer joined them.Rusch modelled himself on Jimi Hendrix and was the first to play a Fender Stratocaster including a Marshall-tower. Fashion Pink were the first in Baden-baden to play so called progressive underground music, mixed with jazz elements and free-jazz intermezzos. However, this line-up was only short-lived, since Helmut was drafted by the army and Jürgen left the band due to differences about the music.
Argast was replaced with Rainer Bodensohn, who had originally learnt to play the guitar, but later on chose the transverse flute as his main instrument and also played bass. Before Helmut left the band in October 1969, Fashion Pink were the first of many bands to give a guest performance with the radio station Südwestfunk (today SWR) in Baden-Baden, and so this promising up-and-coming band recorded songs in Südwestfunk’s recording studio U1. On 15.6.1969, the band including Rusch recorded the titles "Peeling Beans" (composed by Roland Schaeffer) and "Forget it, I got it" (Spooky Tooth).
The titles of this album impressively show the development of the band, the influences that worked on it, its models and how the band eventually found their own style, which became even more distinct in the follow-up band "Brainstorm".
The titles 01-07 are the ones that were recorded in Südwestfunk’s studio U1 between 1969-1971. The live version of "Watch time flows by" was recorded off the mixing desk during a live appearance in Ludwigshafen in 1971. Titles 09-17 were originally recorded for a cosmetics company mini LP, only sent to their own customers. Parts of the titles were to be used in later musical epics.
In early 1972 the band changed its name into Brainstorm. The bonus track "Stars on stage" was recorded live during a gig in Ludwigshafen on 29.6.1975 under this name.

Similar to the Chicago Soundcheck but with 9 more songs from 1970 included. Led Zeppelin play a number 50's rock and roll songs (with mixed success), and some rough versions of songs that would later appear on Physical Graffiti.

It is unclear whether this is a bootleg or just an unofficial release of out-takes and rehearsals that are now out of copyright (in Europe at least). The record companies pressured shops and distributers so I assume the latter. Its not a critical buy, even for serious fans. For the diehards it's interesting. Two tracks are now officially available on "Those Were The Days".
"Em 1965, em uma de tantas apresentações ao vivo como acompanhante de bandas diversas, Jimi chamou a atenção de Little Richard, grande astro e pioneiro do rock and roll dos anos 50. Apesar da excelente recepção por parte do público e da boa química surgida entre o vocalista e guitarrista, o ego imenso de Little Richard não permitiria que um guitarrista talentoso ofuscasse a sua presença no palco. Com a desculpa de que Hendrix havia perdido o ônibus da banda após um show em Nova York, Little Richard o demitiu, felizmente não antes que alguns dos shows houvessem sido devidamente registrados. Devido à excelente repercussão de suas performances com Little Richard Jimi consegue um contrato de dois anos com a gravadora Columbia e rapidamente deixa de ser figurante."

O destaque fica por conta de que esta banda foi a primeira a qual tocou o guitarrista Todd Rundgren, um multi-instrumentista e um produtor conceituado. Ele nasceu em 22 de junho de 1948 na Philadelphia. Começou sua carreira nesta banda Woody's Truck Stop. Em 1967 formaria o Nazz, um quarteto que gravou três álbuns de rock n’roll antes de se dissolver em 1970. É importante frisar que Todd além de tocar e cantar, produzia e coordenava, era o cara por trás do êxito da banda.
The Grateful Dead sounding band that was sued by Windfall Music and Columbia Records for using the name "Mountain", although they actually had been together for 4 years before Mountain was officially formed!! Their classic "Sundance" LP from 1971 plus unreleased live and studio material off the Master Tapes from this Chicago band- A total of 13 songs and 70 minutes of music.Reissue of the rare and great 1971 album by this Chicago band. Psychedelic country tinged rock, that has drawn comparisons with Grateful Dead, possibly for their own blissed out version of "I Know You Rider". Long jamming tracks with great spacey mid sections and liquid, twin lead guitar work... This reissue includes five bonus tracks and is taken from the master tapes... Great sound quality.
This early 70’s jazz-rock band from Munich has had a rather short career; in fact, it lasted the space of an album called “Nevergreen”, released in 1972. Then the band broke up, most of their members scatttering about in various directions. They consisted of guitarist Markus Sing, soprano and alto sax player Gunther Latuschik, bassist Dave Schratzenstaller, vocalist Gabriel Dominik Mueller, future SAHARA drummer Holger Brandt, and keyboard player Dieter Miekautsch who would later join MISSUS BEASTLY and then EMBRYO.
Ok, let's see... this is a band from Utah that started in 1967 and made one album in 1971, released in micro-quantities in 1972 and now an expensive collector's item. Music From Merkin Manor is a strangely interesting album as might be expected from a group of young longhairs playing a combination of psychedelic, country, and hard rock in smalltown Utah in the early 1970s.
"Originally released 1969 on MPS Records Germany -- which became world famous for Dave Pike´s Noisy Silence Gentle Noise released in the same era. This is a true jewel for all progressive music enthusiasts. Ahead of its time the album is an eclectic mixture of Beat, Psychedelia and lysergic Trip Jazz. The album is compared with the similarly styled debut of Burnin' Red Ivanhoe. 14 Minutes title song 'Maxwells Street' sounds like a continuation of the Rolling Stones' 'Their Satanic Majesty's Requests'. Lars Bisgaard and Bent Hesselmann later played with Rainbow Band. Taken from the CD reissue of "Maxwell Street", Long Hair LHC28, 2003
I was surprised by the excellence of this obscure album. The band Sacred Mushroom hailed from Cincinnati Ohio. This album was originally released in 1969. The most famous member of the band is lead guitarist/song writer Larry Goshorn who later joined country-rockers Pure Prairie League. The music on this disk sounds nothing like country rock. The music is instead great heavy blues from the late sixties. Larry Goshorn's guitar work while not overly fast or flashy shines throughout the disk. His playing on this set reminds me of Eric Clapton's playing while in the heavy blues/psych band Cream. Larry's brother Danny handles the lead vocals on the set. Songs like "I Don't Like You" and "Lifeline" contain great late sixties guitar playing. The disk also contains an inspired cover of the Kink's "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" and "Mean Old World" popularized by blues harmonica expert Little Walter. Unfortunately this was to be the band's only release. The approximately 34 minutes of music on this set shows great promise. Highly recommended for collectors of sixties heavy blues/rock.
Often named as a classic, this one-shot album of this British group from Coventry shows us the some of the finest progressive rock of this time, with vocals of Bob Jackson and excellent guitar work by Collin Williams. And excellent means: not screaming, but subtle. So often in this period, many groups appeared and disappeared, and Indian Summer was one of them, a pity. Good use of the hammond organ and mellotron, with a touch of blues as well. If you like early Yes, Pink Floyd, or Tomorrow, you will surely enjoy them. Highlights include "God is the Dog" and "Emotions of Men". The artwork is done by Keef, a well known designer in that time... This album needs to be in your prog. collection! 4 stars out of 5.
The band formed in late 1966 at 1915 Oak Street, a large Victorian rooming house in the Haight-Ashbury district. In June and July 1967 they were featured on posters for shows at the Avalon Ballroom with other bands including the Quicksilver Messenger Service and Big Brother and the Holding Company. After some members including Phillips left for the band Phoenix in 1968, new members were added and the group made two albums.
