With Love from 1 to 5
I am playing here a French 1967 promotional release of the British duo 'State of Micky & Tommy's' With Love from 1 to 5. Extraordinary stuff.
As it happens, I have spotted 2 more by these fellows, one a French EP, the, the UK release of the above, which has an interesting flip-side. I'll play some another day.
From the other side: THE REAL THING...

Pre Titus-Groan, JON 1967 'Is it Love?'
From Ireland, this little known group produced only 2 singles, the second being the more interesting. Later to become the equally little known 'Titus Groan' who were produced on Dawn.

Village - 1969
Another obscure release, the one and only on the equally obscure 'Head' label. Plenty of heavy organ, and fuzz, extended improvisation on the A side 'Man in the Moon'. More progressive than psychedelic, more in keeping with UK artists of the time such as 'Rare Bird', 'Egg' 'Aardvark' and 'Hatfield & The North'.

Pony Express, a favourite of the mule...
As promised, from an acetate I acquired whilst serving at RAF Laabruch during the Cold War. The base had an in house radio station, handy for keeping up with the latest action back home.

Note the use of theremin in this 1964 release.
Apologies for the skipping in both tracks. Acetates are only good for a few plays, require a light pick up, something my gramophone lacks.

Are you Feelin' Reelin' Squeelin'?
First release by the Soft Machine with Daevid Allen, and not unsurprisingly, a single that saw little if any airplay. Circa 1967.
The House Beside the Mine, 1969

She won't see the Light
Of interest to followers of Eric Woolfson, one of his compositions sung by a Timothy Blue, on the Spark label, an in-house operation of Southern Music, circa 1968.
I have a different version of this song by a band named 'Hamlet' from 1967. If anyone has information on this band I'd be happy to hear...to be played soon.

Good afternoon
Due to problems getting my 45 rpm singles uploaded on my old site, I have begun a blog, and would like to extend an invitation to any TES fellows to contribute their music (preferably anything pre-1973 for the enjoyment of others here.
