The Who - "Dogs" (1968)
I've tried to avoid superstar acts in this thread, but I can't resist posting this popsike curio, a zany but oddly moving tale of romance amongst the aficionados of greyhound racing. John Entwhistle thought it sounded too much like The Small Faces (that's a bad thing John?), and it only got to #25 on the UK singles chart (and wasn't released in the US at all). It was quickly forgotten by all concerned and consigned to the cutout bin of history.
Except by cranks like me. With Keith Moon bashing away in rhythmic support of the glorious three-part harmonies, it's one of my fave Who tracks.
And how can you not love a song that ends on the words "lovely buttocks"...

The most inimitably British sounding band you'll ever hear:
The Aerovons - "The Train" (1969)
Of course needless to say, they were from St. Louis.
"Dear Mom: Today we met George Harrison!!!"

The Aerovons - "The Train" (1969)
Of course needless to say, they were from St. Louis.
quote:The album would not be released until 2003.
The Aerovons were formed in 1966 in St. Louis, and in late 1967, guitarist/pianist Tom Hartman recorded a demo of his composition "A World of You" at the instigation of his mother. The demo was heard by a representative of Capitol Records, and though he offered the group a session in Los Angeles, Hartman's mother told him the band wanted to record in London. In early 1968, the still-young Aerovons -- Hartman was 16 -- flew to London to play their demo for EMI. EMI was impressed enough to sign them when Hartman and his mother returned to London in August 1968, and the Aerovons even got another offer at the time with Decca. The whole band came back to London in March 1969 to record.
Over the next few months the group cut about an album's worth of material at Abbey Road.
