Notes: I had only heard of one band included here prior
to finding this record (It's a Beautiful Day), but the rest
of the bands follow that lead admirably. This is the very archetype of the
San Francisco sixties rock ethos. A few lesser known bands get together
and put out a record. Wonderful cover graphics and the inside spread date
this in a very nice way. The listener is encouraged to write to the record
company if more of the same would be readily accepted. If anyone has any
knowledge of any of the other bands I'd like to hear about them. Just
another great flea market find. And to top it off it came in this
groovy record sleeve.
Here's a bit of info submitted by a happy traveler: The band (Indian Puddin and Pipe)
was a Seattle band named West Coast Natural Gas, renamed by Matthew Cates
after he signed them and moved them to San Francisco. The Drummer was Jeff LaBrache. Jeff is still alive and living in Seattle. There are some great
old posters from the Avalon Ballroom advertising the band.
