| In
early November 1977, Distortions released a
CD entitled "Unknown Mystery 60's Group".
The songs on the CD were found on a reel to
reel tape purchased at an outdoor flea market
in Philadelphia. At the time of the Cd's release,
nothing was known about the band. |
|
| Intrigued
by the recordings, Octopus Records decided to
track down the combo responsible for such gems
as "Birdhouses", "Percival",
and "Are You Mad At Me". Requests
for info about the unknown group were placed
in the classified sections of various Philadelphia
Newspapers. To make a long story short, a number
of respondents (fans, neighbors, and relatives)
provided clues that led Octopus to the band's
drummer and archivist, currently living in Spain,
who generously supplied Octopus with missing
details, photographs, and tapes that make the
second volume possible. Unfortunately, one concession
to the members had to be granted before the
release of Volume II: the identity of the band
would have to remain anonymous. Why? The expatriate,
serving as a spokesman for the others, replied:
"It's more or less Bob Dylan's line: "
I was so much older then. I'm younger than that
now." |
This
release makes the title of the CD's seem a
bit of a misnomer. Listeners will hear a few
references to the 1970's both stylistically
and lyrically. Birdhouse concedes that we
all have to grow up (at least a little bit)
some time or another.
Enough! Enjoy! |
