Guitarist Duane King and his brother, bassist Nick, joined the Lansing, Michigan band the Next Exit in 1968. The rest of the band included Gary Harger on drums, Mike Motz on lead guitar, and organist Clyde Hamilton. After a name change to Magic and a single on their own label in early 1969, Hamilton left the band, and Motz was replaced by Joey Murcia, a Miami native who had played with that city's Birdwatchers. Murcia, as it happened, was a session player for TK Records in Miami and assured the band he could get them a record deal, so Magic packed up everything and moved to Miami. TK Records had an entirely black R&B roster at the time, but Magic, who often covered R&B songs, fit right in, becoming the label's first white signee. They recorded their first LP, Enclosed, in the summer of 1969, which was officially released on their own Armadillo label. The summer of 1970 found Magic returning to Lansing in search of a major-label contract.
A Detroit producer, Scott Regan, helped to get the band signed to the Motown-owned Rare Earth label, and, in 1971, Magic began recording their second album. The self-titled album was released in 1972 to favorable reviews and featured Stevie Wonder playing keyboards on several songs, but not long after the album's release, Motown moved to California, closing down Rare Earth and leaving Magic without a label. They recorded some demos in the hopes of landing another record deal, but the band never recovered from the Motown move and called it quits. Murcia went back to session work and played with numerous major artists -- the Bee Gees, Joe Walsh, and Joe Cocker among them -- who recorded in Miami.

Bobby Fuller was born in 1942 in Baytown, Texas. He enjoyed playing guitar, writing songs and singing them and eventually formed The Bobby Fuller Four in El Paso with his brother Randy and two friends, Jim Reese and DeWayne Quirico. The group played in El Paso for three years before signing a record contract and moving to Los Angeles.
The Bobby Fuller Four was influenced in its music quite a bit by another rock-and-roll star who had also come from West Texas, Buddy Holly. The lead guitar player in Holly's band, The Crickets, was Sonny Curtis, who wrote what proved to be the biggest song ever for The Bobby Fuller Four.
That song was I Fought The Law. They recorded other songs, some written by Holly, but I Fought The Law was their only record to reach the top ten in the charts. In later years the influence of The Bobby Fuller Four was seen in music recorded by such groups as The Clash, the Blasters, and Los Lobos.
Bobby Fuller was a talented musician, songwriter and performer and most likely would have gone on to bigger and better things had he lived longer. Just after "I Fought The Law" became a top ten hit, Bobby Fuller was found dead in his automobile, which was parked near his Los Angeles home. The police considered the death an apparent suicide/accident, however, many people believe Fuller was murdered.
The investigation was botched from the start. The crime scene was not secured and no fingerprints were obtained. A witness also claimed seeing a police officer throw a can of gasoline found at the scene into the trash. Fuller was found with multiple wounds all over his body and covered in gasoline leading many to speculate that the perpetrators fled before they could set the car on fire.
Police later changed the cause of death to "Accidental asphyxiation" citing no evidence of foul play.
Despite the official cause of death stated by authorities, rumors and speculation still surround Fuller's mysterious death. Fuller is buried in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

Originally recorded in 1969, Peppermint Records presents the previously lost Glass Harp album 'Where Did My World Come From?' for the first time officially released. Although only two songs ('Where Did My World Come From,' and 'She Told Me') were ever released in their time, the rest of the recordings have been bootlegged and circulated for years, though none of these were transferred from the original masters. Now, the staff of Peppermint issues these recordings officially for the first time from the original masters! Assumed to be lost for good, Glass Harp's guitarist and vocalist Phill Keaggy accidentally stumbled upon the box with the masters when looking for tapes for another project.
Glass Harp's dynamic range and energetic performances in their music takes the listener on an emotional journey through the delicate acoustic ballads to the more driving rock songs. 'Where Did My World Come From?' is a quintessential example of Glass Harp's ability to blend technical skill with emotional depth, making it a standout in their discography. This out of this world psychedelic rock album is an absolute must-have.

They might not be a household name, but July is a band you ought to know. The U.K. psych-rockers have garnered a cult following since the release of their self-titled 1968 record. Original mono copies sell for more than three grand online, but its not just the scarcity and desirability of the album that raises eyebrows; it's the high quality of the music. Though their singles may not have charted back in the day, the five-piece Ealing-based group is still considered by psych-rock enthusiasts to be one of the unsung heroes of the genre.
Well, listeners no longer have to shell out big bucks to hear this or any other July album. The Grapefruit label recently released a career-spanning box set - July: The Complete Recordings - that tells the whole story of the band, from 1968 to the present.
July formed from the ashes of The Dreamers, one of many smaller groups that emerged during the British Invasion. After another British band, Freddie and The Dreamers, made it big, they rechristened themselves The Tomcats. The original Tomcats featured vocalist-guitarist Tom Newman, lead guitarist Peter Cook, bassist Alan James, and drummer Chris Jackson. A lineup change found them joining forces with members of another rock group, Second Thoughts. That group featured Jon Field on flute, keyboards, and percussion, Tony Duhig on guitar, Patrick Cambell-Lyons on vocals, and others. When Second Thoughts split, Duhig and Field joined up with Newman, James, and Jackson to form a new iteration of The Tomcats. This would later become the first lineup of July.
The Tomcats enjoyed some success in Spain with a blend of R&B and rock, but Newman and Cook eventually made their way back to London and wrote new material that embraced the psych-rock sound. They recorded demos and found a new label in Major-Minor and a new manager in Spencer Davis. July was recorded with the label's staff producer Tommy Scott and engineer Mike Ross overseeing. The 12-song effort was released in 1968 and the rest, as they say, was history.
The 6-CD box set July: The Complete Recordings tracks the band's entire six-decade history, bringing together all their releases in one package for the first time ever, newly remastered and presented in a deluxe clamshell package with an impressive 36-page booklet. The historic photos and new liner notes by David Wells, including new interviews with band members, provide unprecedented insight into the history of July. And that's before we get to the impressive selection of music!
CD 1 features that cult classic in its original mono mix along with single edits of album cuts "My Clown," "Dandelion Seeds," plus the non-album A-side "Hello, Who's There" and its B-side, a longer, looser re-recording of the album cut "The Way." CD 2 features the 12-track album in stereo. This mix is a bit of an anomaly as it was originally only available in the U.S. on the Epic label. Epic had re-EQ'd the mono mix to build a faux-stereo version that to this day sparks controversy among fans. It's been enhanced for this set to a much better result. The songs are often heavier than most psych-pop that made it to the charts, Indian-inspired, and full of reverb and tape trickery that would make more well-known bands jealous.
As Tom Newman remembers in the liner notes, "We used two four-track machines and bounced tracks from one to another, the same way that Sgt. Pepper was made. I was already making tape loops by then fifty-foot long going right 'round the room, so I got very interested in multi-track facilities. Tommy and the engineer [Mike Ross] were also into making their own Sgt. Pepper with freaky recordings techniques." Alan James recalled one such incident during the recording of "You Missed It All": "Mike Ross was...trying to show us how to get white noise by hanging a microphone out of the window. It was fairly early in the morning on a Sunday, and so the back streets were fairly quiet. Suddenly, though, someone got out of his car and slammed the door very loudly. Mike told us we'd have to take it out, but we just said, "No, leave it in." It's this sense of adventure - not to mention the quality of the songwriting - that makes it an enduring album that's worthy of all the accolades it's received in the decades since.
Many sets would stop there with the first album but, typical of the label, Grapefruit has gone several steps further to present proves there's more to the story than their eponymous effort. The third CD presents all the tracks from a 1995 compilation called The Second of July. The fourteen tracks are made up of those historic demos by Newman and Cook which have been augmented slightly, mainly with drums. Here, we witness the duo trying out wild psychedelic ideas from inside various flats in Ealing. Though it's obviously a do-it-yourself affair, these songs display a certain confidence in their material which is all the more intriguing considering the era in which they were created.
As David Wells points out in his liner notes, in 1967 many British bands were exploring improvisational forms. July, meanwhile, had tighter sets with constructed songs. "We played at The Roundhouse...with another up-and-coming band," reflected bassist Alan James. When they were packing up to leave, the MC implored them to return to the stage for another set. "He said, 'The audience don't like the band that's out there at the moment.' That happened to be Pink Floyd."
While their live sets alongside Jethro Tull, Spooky Tooth, and Roy Harper were well-received, some of the band members grew tired of the requirements of studio recording. "The whole recording session [for July] was an absolute nightmare," Jon Field said, quoted in the notes. "Nobody was relaxed, and the whole thing was done in such a rush. The producer, Tommy Scott, couldn't contribute to the music because he didn't understand it - there was no empathy at all." "We weren't allowed into the control room to listen to the takes," Newman stated. "It was the old Peter Sellers thing: 'Where the carpet starts, you stop.'"
Differences in artistic direction between the band and producer Scott came to a head during the recording of the Small Faces-esque "Hello, Who's There?" "They turned it into a joke recording," offered songwriter Peter Cook, recalling the put-on accents and production choices that certainly date the song. Worse, Tommy Scott's send-up that he'd so hoped would bring the band surefire chart action ended up stalling completely. July called it quits, with Field and Duhig forming Jade Warrior, as Newman, Jackson, and Cook reformed The Tomcats. Cook would go on to become a top luthier, while Newman would eventually convince his friend Richard Branson to start up the Virgin record label and also produce a number of Mike Oldfield albums.
It wasn't until decades later, as crate-digging psych fans rediscovered the album that they would begin to re-evaluate their legacy as July. Newman, James, Jackson, and Cook reconvened in 2009. After four decades, Cook professed that "the chemistry was still there, and everything kind of gelled... At that time I thought, well, I wasn't actually in July, so I've got to bring something to the party." He penned new tracks and recorded the material with Newman for an album that would be called Temporal Anomaly. Those previously unreleased 10 tracks mark the first inkling of July's return - though they were recorded under the Tomcats moniker - and are included on CD 4.
The whole band would eventually revisit the Temporal Anomaly material on a new fully-fledged July project aptly called Resurrection, which also featured material prepared by all four members. Finally released in 2013, and featured on this set on CD 5, the album was hailed as a triumphant return that blends classic psychedelic traits with a contemporary feel. A new version of the album's tongue-in-cheek, Beatles lyric-inspired "Can I Go Back Again" was released in 2016 as a non-album single. It's presented as a bonus track alongside Cook's original demo.
But while that track looks back, July has continued to move forward and their latest studio effort, The Wight Album, comprises the sixth and final disc of this career-spanning box set. Here, Newman and Cook pay tribute to their past, featuring songs by Jackson and James along with a clever use of guitar parts from 1968. Once again, July combines heavy guitars and familiar psych-rockisms with a decidedly contemporary production style. The world of recording has changed dramatically since 1968; for one, the band can be their own auteurs, and phasing and looping can be done in a click. July makes full use of a range of recording techniques, and they include one song that brings the effort full-circle.
In Cook's words: "Just when we thought [the album] was done and dusted...[Tom] called to ask if I remembered writing a song in 1967 called 'The Game'...It kind of rang a bell, but it was only when he sang it to me that it slowly came back. Tom couldn't remember the last verse or the tune for the middle-eight, but he thought we had to include it on the album in the spirit of '67. So, one new last verse and middle-eight later, we laid it down." It's a poetic way to tie the bow around July's history so far, bringing together songs and sounds from across their 50-year history.

It has been quite a number of years since the last Shawn Phillips release. I remember seeing his album Second Contribution with him wearing a black cape facing away from the camera on a dry lake bed with cracked mud in the record store when it was released while I was in college. It fascinated me, but being on a tight student’s budget, I passed on it. Then when I moved to Houston in 1972, Shawn was hitting his stride and the local FM radio station KLOL gave him a lot of airplay. And over that decade, he established his presence. This new triple CD set presents nearly four hours of music from eight unreleased live performances between 1972 and 1978. 51 songs from his discography: Contribution, Second Contribution, Collaboration, Faces, Bright White, Furthermore, Rumplestiltskin’s Resolve, and Transcendence.
This set of live recordings covers most of these albums, and I am sure some die hard fans will lament that some songs did not make it, for example “Man Hole Covered Wagon,” but that is not a great loss as the majority of the well-known songs are here. Lovingly restored from the source tapes by Prof. Stoned - you should check out his blog, the sound quality is quite good overall. I saw Shawn perform live in February 1978 at the Houston Music Hall, but the performance unfortunately is not on this set. What I do remember is that Shawn played hard on both his acoustic and electric guitars, just like you will hear on Live in the Seventies. He also was a great story teller between songs, which sadly is not on this set. He enthralled his audiences, even on his most quiet of ballads. There is barely any audience chatter, except for some moments at the Texas Opry House in Houston. And Shawn was very appreciative of that. What we have here are several FM broadcasts - Majestic Theater in Dallas on April 4, 1973; The Nugget in Rochester, NY on April 10, 1972; Ivanhoe Theatre in Chicago on March 31, 1977, and Texas Opry House on December 11, 1978, some soundboard recordings - unknown venue in 1973; Municipal Auditorium in San Antonio on October 28, 1973: Municipal Auditorium in Austin on November 1, 1973; and The Forum in Inglewood on January 30, 1974. Despite the muffled sound on some of these old recordings, Shawn’s Texas drawl and crystal clear multi-octave vocals stand out. And you can tell that his various audiences loved every minute of each performance.
One thing does puzzle me though. John Williiams’ iconic five-note sequence from Close Encounters of the Third Kind was well known after its release on November 16, 1977. Yet when Shawn included the sequence in the intro to “Maestoso” a year later on December 11, 1978, the audience did not react. Very odd. Think Like a Key should be applauded for rejuvenating these performances and releasing them nearly 50 years later. Many of Shawn’s albums are out of print, so this set is an easy way to delve into his discography. And it is a wonderful companion to Shawn’s other live albums released between 2007 and 2009.

Not as random as it might first appear, this five-disc set joins the Feelgoods’ timeline with the Canvey Island band on the verge of major changes. Sneakin’ Suspicion was the band’s fourth release, and the last to feature guitar-toting figurehead Wilko Johnson, soon to be sacked (in ill-judged haste, considering his role as Feelgood’s sole writer).
It’s a state of affairs born out by the 1977 album’s reliance on covers, with the title track arguably the only original to meet the benchmark set by previous material. Be Seeing You, released later the same year with new strummer John Mayo, found them tapping old friends Larry Wallis and producer Nick Lowe for new songs, while reworked 60s soul hits (Wilson Pickett, Homer Banks) suggested an at least partial detour from their pub-rock roots.
All but three tracks on Let It Roll (1979) were written specifically for the album, on which various permutations of members collaborated with session player Pete Wingfield and producer Mike Vernon, most effectively on the near hit single Put Him Out Of Your Mind, but it was a relatively underwhelming collection.
They were back on track for 1980’s high-octane A Case Of The Shakes, with Lowe again producing and singer Lee Brilleaux writing with more confidence on Punch Drunk and Drives Me Wild. That album was the furthest they’d escape Johnson’s long shadow.
And as if to underline the lessening dependence on their erstwhile founder, 1981’s live release On The Job completely ignores the Wilko-era songs that were hitherto the backbone of any Feelgoods set list. It would, however, be Mayo’s last outing and mark the end of the group’s long deal with label United Artists, the law of diminishing returns heralding their final days as a force with which to be reckoned.
