Phaethon's Brethren - "I Put A Spell On You" (1965-6?)

Well here's an intriguing little mystery: a magnificent cover of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins R&B classic, with some great organ and nice use of horns. Despite its brilliance this track was never released, and survives only as an acetate. Nothing else is known about the band.

Graf Zepplin - "You're In My Mind" (1968)

Graf Zepplin (yes, that is the correct spelling) were a high school band from the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, IL. In the spring of 1968 they won a Battle of the Bands where first prize was recording time in a Chicago studio. While there they cut this classic bit of popsike. It's basically a straightforward Farfisa rocker, with some trippy Syd Barrettish sound effects added by the recording engineer.

500 copies were privately pressed to be sold at gigs, with the rest handed out to family and friends, It's now quite a collector's item.
