Actually, it seems that most of the band's performances were lost over the years. The best of the surviving ones were included on the official albums "Let's Go" and "This Time Long Ago." I can't find any information on when each of the songs were performed, so I've used my best guesses. But those are pretty rough.
In the first volume, all but two of the songs were covers of current hits. For this volume, the majority are originals. The only covers are "Time of the Season," "White Room," "Tin Soldier," and "Blackbird." "Tin Solider" is the only unreleased song here (not counting the bonus track), and the sound quality for it is a bit lower than the rest. But I wanted to include it anyway, because I really like hearing the Guess Who do that excellent Small Faces song.
As for that bonus track, a medley of the 1950s classics "Rock Around the Clock" and "Shake, Rattle and Roll," it also is unreleased, as mentioned above. It doesn't sound as good as "Tin Soldier," in my opinion, but I've included it as a bonus track because I think it's interesting. (Several other poor quality covers didn't even merit bonus track status.)
This album is 51 minutes long, not counting the bonus track.

The cover art photo shows the band performing on TV in the late 1960s. I don't know the year or the TV show though.
Great band. Look forward to hearing more from them
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteThanx for this comp. Great Canadian music! Guessing you cover photo IS from "Let's Go!" Show. Here's a wiki extract about that show:
"Let's Go was a daily CBC Television entertainment series aired during the 1967-1968 season, featuring musical guests. It was the successor to Music Hop, and the show's title was taken from the Vancouver segment of Music Hop. Each day's episode featured local talent from a different city, moving across the country from east to west: Halifax (Monday), Ottawa (Tuesday), Toronto (Wednesday), Winnipeg (Thursday) and Vancouver (Friday). Anne Murray appeared on the Halifax show, before she achieved huge popularity with "Snowbird". The Winnipeg show was hosted by Chad Allan, the former front man for The Guess Who. The Guess Who, fronted by Burton Cummings, played as the house band in Winnipeg. Susan Jacks (Pesklevits) was a regular performer on the Vancouver show before becoming the lead singer of the Poppy Family".
Cheers!
Ciao! For now.
