Although the band broke up in 1970, their material continued to be circulated through reissues and compilation albums. Following the inclusion of "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)" as the first track on the seminal Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968 in 1972, a slow return of interest in the band's music began. On the 1998 release of the album, "Get Me to the World on Time" was included as well. In Europe, the band's albums were re-released, with 1986 seeing the reissue of Underground, Release of an Oath, and, essentially The Electric Prunes's first greatest hits album, Long Days Flight. This was the first album to include their first single, "Ain't It Hard", the non-LP track "You Never Had It Better", and the first to be released on the compact disc format in 1989. By 1997, all of the group's albums were available via compact disc. Following the release of the 1997 live album, Stockholm '67, on Heartbeat Records, the original line-up of Tulin, Lowe, Williams, and Weakley (now known as Fortune) reconvened, in 1999, to record new material for the first time in 31 years. After the success of the 2001 compilation album, Lost Dreams, the band began to perform live again along with new members.

On October 31, 2001, the band released the album, Artifact, which included several guest musicians, most notably former Moby Grape guitarist, Peter Lewis. Deemed the "one we never got to make", the album was a cohesive take on the band's psychedelic sound. In August 2002, the group toured Europe for the first time since 1968, with concerts in the UK and Greece, and, in 2003, a DVD looking into the UK portion of their European tour, called Rewired, was released. Additional albums were released over the years, including the concept album, California, in 2004, and their most experimental album since The Electric Prunes's reformation, Feedback, in 2006.

On February 28, 2011, Tulin died aged 62 from a heart attack while volunteering at the University of Southern California Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber. After Tulin's death, the band went on hiatus, but returned to touring in 2013.] On May 22, 2014, the band released WaS, which featured new material inspired by the group's tour in Tokyo, Japan. The album includes the last recordings with Tulin, and the two live tracks, "Smokestack Lightning" and "Bullet Thru the Backseat".

Preston Ritter died on March 30, 2015. He was 65.

Deviled Ham's "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night" was one of a slew of late-1960s 'psychsploitation' releases. What distinguished this one from much of the competition was the fact it was so bad it was actually fun to listen to. Yeah, that sounded kind of nonsensical, but listen to it a couple of times and tell me you don't agree.

Released by Jeffrey Katz and Jerry Kasenetz's Super K label, musically the album featured a series of covers given 'psych' production touches - some more successful than others. The goal clearly wasn't to come up with anything that was particularly creative, or original, rather to cash-in on the buying public's rapidly fading interest in psychedelia. As lead singer Rick Desilets was actually pretty good, at times recalling a less intense version of Jim Morrison. Don't laugh until you've check out the opener 'Come On In', or 'Port Of Ghost Ships'.

- Opening up with an ominous Ray Manzarek-styled organ pattern, the band's cover of Sean Bonniwell's 'Come On In' started things out on a high note. A nice base for Desilets' Morrison-styled snarling delivery. No special effects; just a psych-flavored slice of blues. Shame they didn't stick to this pattern for the rest of the album.

- Apparently meant to be jarring, their cover of 'Alligator Wine' simply came off as dumb; Desilet's raspy delivery coupled with the screeching backing vocals and sophomoric sound efforts were about as threatening as a Scooby Doo cartoon episode.

- 'Frenzy' suffered from much the same fate, except this time out Desilet and company sounded like a bunch of senior citizens on a weeklong bender. Desilet himself sounded like he was singing with a mouth full of sand. At least the song was short.

- 'Ohh My Soul' may hold the distinction of being the worst Little Richard cover I'd ever heard. Simply dreadful. Little Richard should have sued for character assassination.

- Just when you were starting to think it couldn't get much worse the band responded with the country-flavored 'Ohh Licky Licky Wah'. Yeah, it definitely got worse with this stinker.

- Thankfully 'Port Of Ghost Ships' found the group returning to their Doors-inspired sound. With DeSilets again doing his best Morrison impression the song was full of pompous, mock-Doors imagery. Very nice..

- Apparently meant as a tribute to Edgar Allen Poe, side two's 'The Raven' featured a side-long suite that somewhat haphazardly cobbled together a martial paced cover of The Electric Prunes title track (complete with goofy mid-section narrative) and the instrumental theme from 'Rosemary's Baby'. Surprisingly bland and boy did it seem to go on forever.

All told pretty horrific, but not without some camp entertainment value.

One of the trippiest albums ever recorded by creative wordsmith Shel Silverstein – an amazing talent who's known for his famous work with Playboy, his poetry for kids, and even his contributions to country music! This set's got a wild style that definitely lives up to the Freakers Ball promised in the title – kind of a hippie happening that feels like it's recorded live in the studio, with Shel almost making up the words as he goes along – yet also grooving with a style that's tighter than ever, and which has some surprising undercurrents of funk at times. Given the playful themes of the tunes, the record's not far off from a Schoolhouse Rock feel at points –

although the overall content is far more adult!

A singer-songwriter, cartoonist, screenwriter, award-winning children’s writer, and actor, Shel Silverstein grew up in Chicago. He started out as a cartoonist, publishing work in Playboy and the military publication Stars & Stripes, before turning to children’s books.Silverstein is the author and illustrator of numerous books, including The Giving Tree (1964), Where the Sidewalk Ends (1974), A Light in the Attic (1981), and Falling Up (1996). His books have been commended for their appeal to both adults and children.

Silverstein’s poems are often darkly humorous, irreverent, and populated with invented characters, such as the “Bloath” in Where the Sidewalk Ends, who dwells “[i]n the undergrowth” and “feeds upon poets and tea.” Silverstein’s poems and stories are accompanied by his simple yet energetic pen-and-ink illustrations. The Giving Tree, a fable about a lifelong relationship between a boy and a tree, has become a classic in the canon of children’s literature and has sold over five million copies.

As a songwriter, Silverstein wrote “The Cover of the Rolling Stone,” recorded by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show; “Unicorn Song,” for the Irish Rovers; “A Boy Named Sue,” for Johnny Cash; and “Queen of the Silver Dollar,” which Emmylou Harris covered on Pieces of the Sky. Silverstein collaborated with playwright David Mamet on the screenplay Things Change (1988), and they and Elaine May staged a series of one-act plays called Oh, Hell (1991).

The Shadows Of Knight were a garage/punk band out of Chicago that recorded one of the most electric songs that helped to define rock music in the mid-60's. Along with groups such as ? and the Mysterians and the Troggs, the Shadows Of Knight did their part to shake up the pop music world in 1966.

The group was formed in 1964 in Chicago. The original lineup had Jim Sohns on lead vocals, Warren Rogers playing lead guitar, Norm Gotsch on rhythm, Wayne Pursell on bass guitar, and Tom Schiffour on drums. All attended Prospect High School in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. A short time later Gotsch left the group, Rogers switched to rhythm guitar, and Joe Kelley came on board to play lead guitar. Guitarist Jerry McGeorge also joined the group. The group practiced in garages in the Chicago area and at one point agreed to play at the Cellar Club in Arlington Heights, a suburb of Chicago. A concert was set up at the Cellar Club to put on a show for any record producers who might care to stop by.

Among those in the audience were Bill Traut and George Badonsky of the struggling Dunwich Records label, which was a subsidiary of Atlantic. The showstopper that night was The Shadows Of Knight and their driving, frenetic version of Gloria. It was a song that had originally been recorded by a group from Northern Ireland known as Them. The song had been written by George Ivan Morrison, lead singer of Them. Ivan referred to himself as Van Morrison and eventually, after leaving the group, went on to a long and illustrious career as a solo act, with top ten hits such as Brown Eyed Girl and Domino. Although Gloria had been released by Them as a B-side record, when the Shadows Of Knight got a hold of it, it was the perfect blend of song and artist.

The Dunwich Records executives thought they may have found the act that would bring their label to national prominence, and as it turned out, they were right. The Shadows Of Knight signed with Dunwich. They were a group that played their songs loud, and with Sohns' forceful lead vocal and Schiffour's hard-driving drum accompaniment, the group recorded their version of Gloria, which would go on to become a rock classic. It entered the charts in April of 1966 and took off, eventually reaching the number ten position. Local amateur bands across the United States picked up on the song. Although Gloria was regarded as a somewhat risquè song for the mid-60's, it received plenty of airplay on the various radio stations.

The Shadows Of Knight recorded other songs and put four in the top 100 in 1966, including Oh Yeah which just made the top forty. The band underwent numerous personnel changes. By 1969 Jim Sohns was the only original member left with the group. They became involved with bubblegum rock producers Jerry Kasenetz and Jeff Katz, who had produced such top ten records as 1, 2, 3, Red Light, Yummy Yummy Yummy, and Little Bit O'Soul. Under this arrangement they recorded Shake, which became a top fifty record for the revised group. More songs were recorded, and more deals were discussed with other record labels. In the early 70's the group reformed once again, this time bringing in Lee Brovitz and Paul Roy as musicians and songwriters.

In the late 70's punk rock came into vogue, and the Shadows Of Knight were regarded by followers of that style of music as one of its forerunners. A group that includes Sohns, Brovitz and Roy was still touring in the early twenty-first century.

This one comes as a wonderful surprise! A true lost treasure from one of Frisco's ballroom groups.

A big thank you to the original up-loader for giving you and I a chance to hear one of those bands that had no known recordings . There are countless posters out there featuring the band. The most well known being from this very night when Allmen Joy was the opening act for the Doors

Here are a few notes from the text that came with the file.

If Blue Cheer made cream cheese outta the air, then these guys must have crystallized the heavens on a good night .A mix of Blue Cheer & Big Brother guitars, Country Joe & The Fish style ethereal moves & organ, & occasional Dead-like feedback & vocal insanity, mixed with 60s garage sounds & a nod to the Chambers Brothers... 60s West Coast manna from the vault.

This recording demands some real volume so hang out the freak flag & hope the neighbors are on vacation. A missing link in the 60s Bay Area music puzzle & undoubtedly one of the finest uploads ever offered so far . Not sure what might crawl out of the cave in the future, but this should shiver some timbers & shake some angel dust outta yr trees. Here's one from the depths of 1967 Haight Ashbury, where & when the love children were playing on the street & dancing in the park with rainbows in their eyes, flowers in their hair & the Allmen Joy filling their ears on many a night.

The late-'60s/early-'70s blues-rock outfit Mother Earth was led by singer Tracy Nelson and issued several somewhat underappreciated releases during their time span. Nelson was originally from Madison, WI, and it was while attending the University of Wisconsin that the singer was discovered by producer Sam Charters and was eventually signed to a recording contract with the Prestige label. 1965 saw the release of Nelson's solo debut, the folk-based Deep Are the Roots, and when it didn't exactly burn up the charts, Nelson decided to relocate to San Francisco, with the hopes of forming a more conventional rock outfit. Shortly after arriving on the West Coast, Mother Earth was formed, which led to performances at the famed Fillmore West, opening for the likes of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Burdon. After an appearance on the soundtrack to the 1968 motion picture Revolution (which also featured the Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Steve Miller Band), Mother Earth signed with Mercury Records and issued a steady stream of releases until the early '70s.

These albums included 1968's Living with the Animals 1969's Tracy Nelson Country and Make a Joyful Noise, 1970's Satisfied, 1971's Bring Me Home, 1972's Tracy Nelson/Mother Earth, and 1973's Poor Man's Paradise, before Nelson pursued a solo career. Subsequently, Nelson earned a Grammy nomination in 1974 for the track "After the Fire Is Gone" (a duet with Willie Nelson) and continued to issue solo albums until the early '80s, when she became disillusioned with the direction that popular music was going in (although she did sing backup for Neil Young for a spell in the mid-'80s, including appearing with Young at the mammoth Live Aid concert in 1985). Nelson returned to music in the '90s, beginning with 1993's In the Here and Now, continuing to issue solo recordings (and in 1998, earned another Grammy nomination for the release Sing It!, a collaboration with Marcia Ball and Irma Thomas).

"7 and 7 Is" is a song written by Arthur Lee and recorded by his band Love on June 20, 1966, at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood. It was produced by Jac Holzman and engineered by Bruce Botnick.

The song was released as the A-side of Elektra single 45605 in July, 1966. The B-side was "No. Fourteen", an out-take from the band's earlier recordings. "7 and 7 Is" made the Billboard Pop Singles chart on July 30, 1966, peaking at number 33 during a ten-week chart run and becoming the band's highest-charting hit single. The recording also featured on the band's second album, Da Capo.

The song drew inspiration from a high school sweetheart of Arthur Lee's, Anita "Pretty" Billings,who shared his birthday, March 7. It also describes Lee's frustration at teenage life - the reference to "in my lonely room I'd sit, my mind in an ice cream cone" being to wearing (in reality or metaphorically) a dunce's cap. Describing how the song came to him, Lee stated: "I was living on Sunset and woke up early one morning. The whole band was asleep. I went in the bathroom, and I wrote those words. My songs used to come to me just before dawn, I would hear them in dreams, but if I didn't get up and write them down, or if I didn't have a tape recorder to hum into, I was through. If I took for granted that I could remember it the next day—boink, it was gone."

It took a great deal of work to record, with Love's drummer, Alban "Snoopy" Pfisterer, being challenged with its frantic demands after 30 takes or so, and being replaced on drums, intermittently, by Arthur Lee himself. In an interview for John Einarson's book Forever Changes , lead guitarist Johnny Echols credits the drumming on the released record to Pfisterer. In a 1989 interview, Arthur Lee stated that he himself taught Pfisterer how to play the part, and that the final record featured Pfisterer. In what has been described as a "flirtation" with musique concrète, the song climaxes in an apocalyptic explosion - the supposed sound of an atom bomb - before a peaceful conclusion, in a blues form, which then fades out.Although many listeners thought that the explosion at the end of the song was a reverb unit being kicked or dropped, it was (according to the engineer Bruce Botnick in "Forever Changes" book, , in actuality, taken from a sound effects record. He speculated that it was a recording of a gunshot slowed down (for live performances, the explosion was reproduced by kicking a reverb unit).

7 and 7 is

When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man

I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in a can

In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone

You can throw me if you want to 'cause I'm a bone and I go

Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip yeah!

If I don't start cryin' it's because that I have got no eyes

My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized

Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way

Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go

Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!

The Blues Maggos formed in the Bronx, New York, USA, in 1964 and initially known as The Trenchcoats, the founding line-up consisted of Emil "Peppy" Thielhelm, vocals, guitar, Dennis LaPore, lead guitar, Ralph Scala, organ and vocals, Ronnie Gilbert, bass and John Finnegan, drums . The group quickly became an important part of the emergent Greenwich Village rock scene and in 1966 secured a residency at the fabled Night Owl club. Near the end of '66, the band was calling itself "Bloos Magoos" and Mike Esposito was brought in as their new lead guitarist. Esposito had at one time been in a college band with Lou Reed, and his inventive guitar playing, utilizing controlled feedback and tape-echo devices, added a new dimension to the group's sound. Having recorded flop singles for Ganim and Verve Records, the band was signed to Mercury Records, where they became the subject of intense grooming. Drummer Geoff Daking replaced LaPore in time to record their debut album, "Psychedelic Lollipop", which was released in November 1966. The band was now using a more traditional spelling of their name, "Blues Magoos".

In February of 1967, Mercury released a single called "We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet", written by band members, Gilbert, Scala and Esposito. The song was a Top Twenty hit for the 'Magoos' in America and finished at number 72 for the entire year, but failed to achieve the same success in the UK.

A follow up hit was even harder to come by for the Magoos and their next effort, "There's A Chance We Can Make It" was mostly ignored. Subsequent efforts, "One By One" , "I Wanna Be There" and "Life is Just a Cher O'Bowlies" also failed to gain any attention. One last single release on Mercury called "I Can Hear The Grass Grow", issued in 1968, also missed the charts. By now, tensions were growing among the members of the band and the original line up split.

On November 9th, 2000, The Blues Magoos, featuring Emil "Peppy" Thielhelm and Ralph Scala played at a garage band revival show called "Cavestomp". In July 2008, Blues Magoos, with original members Ralph Scala, Castro and Geoff Daking, reunited for the first time in years for two concerts, including one with The Zombies at the Fillmore New York. In December 2009 they traveled to Spain for the Purple Weekend festival.

In 2014, The Blues Magoos released their first new album in over 40 years, titled "Psychedelic Resurrection". A Nationwide tour was scheduled to follow.

Although they were only "one hit wonders", Blues Magoos, with their electric suits and giant, onstage lava lamps, are fondly remembered as a classic example of the "psychedelic" music era.

The Blues Magoos were famed for their Diana Dew-designed electric suits; the lights grew brighter as the music’s intensity increased.

The two women and three man combo known as Joy of Cooking

(JOC) traced their beginnings to 1967 in Berkeley, California. JOC

played a kind of generally laid-back folk-rock with various traces of

jazz, country, gospel, blues, Latin and even a little R&B funk. This

critically acclaimed rock band released three solid studio albums for

Capitol Records in the early '70s, and launched the careers of two

greatly respected music women, Terry Garthwaite (b. Berkeley, CA,

July 11, 1938) and Toni Brown (b. Madison, WI, November 16, 1938).

Toni and Terry were the leaders of JOC, as well as pioneers in defining

the role of serious women musicians.

The Cryan' Shames are an American garage rock band from Hinsdale, Illinois. They originally formed as The Travelers, with founding members Tom Doody ("Toad"), Gerry Stone ("Stonehenge"), Dave Purple ("Grape") of The Prowlers, Denny Conroy and Jim Fairs from The Roosters, Jim Pilster ("J.C. Hooke", so named because he was born without a left hand and wore a hook), and Bill Hughes. The band's most successful moment came with their cover of The Searchers song, "Sugar and Spice".

In 1966, upon learning that another band already had the name The Travelers, they needed to find another name; J.C. Hooke remarked that their difficulty in doing so was "a cryan' shame," and thus named the band. After signing with Bob Monaco, the promotion manager for Destination Music, their first single was supposed to be George Harrison's song, "If I Needed Someone", but was not released in the US (but included on their debut album) due to publication issues. It was soon followed by "Sugar and Spice," a Tony Hatch song that was a hit in 1963 (everywhere but in the US) for the English group The Searchers. The Shames' version reached number 49 in the USA (while reaching number four on local radio WLS). Another single was released just before the end of 1966 called "I Wanna Meet You" b/w "We Could Be Happy". That record made it to number one in Chicago and number 85 nationally. Both songs on the single were Jim Fairs compositions and further spotlighted the harmony capabilities of the band's singers.

They signed to Columbia in 1966, and while they never were to become a national success, their singles and three albums continued to sell well in the Chicago area. The band focused on their first album release, which was heavily influenced by The Byrds. Their album, Sugar and Spice was recorded in just two days, but strengthened by cover versions of popular songs of the period like "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" and "Hey Joe". Overall, the album, upon its October 1966 release, became a hit in Chicago and charted at number 192 nationally.

More singles followed their debut which were met with lesser success. Before the development of their second album, the band lost the services of Stone. Stone was drafted to fight in the Vietnam War and lineup changes followed. The second release proved to be more successful when it charted at number 156. The Shames were experimenting with a combination of psychedelic rock and studio arrangements. Productions and vocal harmonies showed signs in improvement, reflecting positively on album sales.

In 1968 several key members began to depart from band activities, most notably Jim Fairs. Despite the losses, the group formed a new lineup and released their final album, Synthesis. The album marked attempts at delving into progressive rock and jazz influences. Still, compared to their previous effort, the album charted lower and was considered a disappointment. The group disbanded in December 1969, but reunited again and continues to tour. Jim "J.C. Hooke" Pilster and Tom Doody (Toad) are the only remaining original members in the current lineup. Two members of The Cryan' Shames have since died: bassist Dave Purple in June 2001, and his replacement Isaac Guillory, on December 31, 2000
