(LP: UK Pye Records PL 2067) 1966
Tony Hatch が演奏をプロデュースした英国産サマーポップの

The Overlanders はイギリスの Beat Music era に活躍した
Folk / Pop vocal group で、ビート色は強くないものの
時代を反映した佳曲を多く歌ってる。
本件もその一つで、間奏部の激しいギターブレイクを聴くと
1963年という早い段階でも使われる Freakbeat の範疇に入る傑作だ。

The LeRoys |

 |
25-12
The LeRoys - California GL 903
(7: UK His Master's Voice POP 1368) 1964
The LeRoys はイギリスのプロデューサーの Robert Stigwood
に雇われ、60年代初期から中期のポップシンガーのバックバンド
を務めてきた、John Leyton, The Innocents, Don Spence, Billy Boyle,
Mike Sarne, Billie Davis, Simon Scott らイギリスの中堅シンガーの
バックを担当していたグループだった。” California GL 903” は
Surfin’ Hot Rod ファンの間では人気の高い曲で、Curtis Lee の
オリジナルが1964年9月12日にリリースさた。
本件 The LeRoys のカヴァーヴァージョンが1964年11月27日
ぼリリースなので米英で競作と言ってもよい。興味深いことに
Curtis Lee の Dunes 45-801 のラベルには T. Boyce (Tommy Boyce)
のみをソングライターのクレジットとして表示してるが、
本件シングルのラベルには Boyce-Hart (Tommy Boyce-Bobby Hart)
が連名でプリントされてる。
本件はプロデュースが The LeRoys のボス Robert Stigwood、
そしてアレンジが Led Zeppelin 以前の John Paul Jones で
なかなか出来の良い Hot Rod tune に仕上げている。
これは不明瞭な彼の初期の足跡を調べる意味でも価値はある。
Robert Stigwood は、オーストラリア生まれのエージェント、
プロデューサー、アレンジャー、出版者、マネージャー、
コンサートスポンサー、エンターテイメント起業家として
音楽業界では有名なビジネスマンだ。
当初、演劇エージェントとしてスタートした Robert Stigwood は、
俳優から歌手になった John Leyton と契約した。
彼の仲間である Joe Meek が音楽をプロデュースした
John Leyton "Johnny Remember Me" の予想外の成功によって
Billy Boyle 他のために1960年代初頭にプロダクションを設立、
マネージャー業も行い、最終的には Mike Berry, Cream, The Bee Gees
らとも契約した。
Robert Stigwood は1966年にレコード レーベル Reaction を設立し、
The Who と Cream のトラックがリリースされたが、短命で閉鎖した。
1967年1月 Robert Stigwood は自分の事業を友人 Brian Epstein
の事業と合併し、Robert Stigwood は NEMS Enterprises の
マネージャーになった。
しかし、同年8月の Brian Epstein の早すぎる死の後、会社の
所有権は Brian Epstein の弟 Clive Epstein に渡された。

The Fabulous Quite Five (AKA Quite Five) |
 |
25-13
The Fabulous Quite Five - Red Hot Scramblers-Go
(7: Casa Grande CG-8462-45) 1965
イギリスの The Quiet Five が The Fabulous Quite Five 名義で
The Captivations のカヴァーシングルをアメリカのみで
リリースしてる。このシングルはイニシャル番号が (CG-1965/1964)
となっており恐らく A面は1965年に録音（B面は1964年か？）
されたものと推測される。A面は The Captivations のカヴァーだが、
これには Gary Usher は参加していない。
このシングルには Recorded In London, England と
クレジットされており、彼らはイギリスでは The Quiet Five と
名乗っていたバンドで、後に Mark Wirtz のセッションシンガー
やコラボレイターとしても名を馳せるオランダ出身のシンガー
Kris Ife のデビューバンドでもある。
彼らは本国イギリスでは The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Donovan,
The Byrds, The Ronettes, P.J. Proby らのライブツアーのオープニング
アクトとしても活動していた。
またこの The Fabulous Quite Five 名義のシングルは The Quiet Five
のメンバーを中心に新たなフォーメイションに変えた最初で最後の
録音がされている。
Kris Ife (Rhythm Guitar, Harmony Lead Vocals),
John "Satch" Goswell (Saxophone),
Tex Marsh (Drums),
John Howell (Piano, Backing Vocals),
Roger McKew (Lead Guitar),
Richard Barnes (Bass, Lead Vocals)
A-side Lead Vocals Richard Barnes, Kris Ife, John Howell.
何故 The Quiet Five が The Captivations の
"Red Hot Scramblers-Go"を録音したのか定かではないが
恐らく London Records との契約を期に楽曲管理に関して
Gary Paxton がイギリスのバンドにもアプローチをかけていた
のではないかと推測される。

(7: Ascot Records ASCOT 2206) 1966
イギリスのビートバンドでメンバーの Dave Skates と
Bert Pulham はその後 Crocheted Doughnut Ring に参加する。
本件 Freakbeat サウンドのため Surfin' & Hot Rod 市場より
Beat Psych 市場での評価が高い。
The Tigers - GeeTo Tiger とタイトル表記が似ているが
The Force Five - Gee Too Tiger で、「o」が１つ多い (笑)
作者の Jim Economides, Jr. は Capitol records の大物
プロデューサー＆ソングライターで The Knights - Hot Rod High
のシングルB面の "Theme From Teen Love" は彼が書いた曲だ。
彼は Dick Dale And His Del-Tones の1963年アルバム
Checkered Flag を、The Super Stocks の1964年アルバム
Thunder Road をプロデュースしたが1965年辺りから
イギリスのビートバンドを手掛ける事になり1965年10月に
The Majority - Shut 'Em Down In London Town,
本件イギリス盤が1965年12月にリリース（アメリカ盤が1966年）
そして1966年には Marc Bolan (Pre T-Rex), The Clockwork Oranges
や The Fadin' Colours なんかもプロデュースをしていた。
言わばイギリス初期 Freakbeat のパイオニアーだった。
作詞を担当した P. Ford だが、The Ivy League の Perry Ford
という説が有力だ。
Crocheted Doughnut Ring の日本盤シングル

(7: UK Deram DM 142) 1967
(7: Deram 45-7513) 1967 as The Flower Pots.
The Flower Pot Men were billed as The Flower Pots in the USA.
Because the obvious psychedelic era puns on flower power and "pot" (cannabis).
In the US, they were commonly deemed The Flower Men
on radio airplay to avoid the drug reference.
An international hit, but not in North America.
Some labels credit the (grammatically wrong) title “Lets Go To San Francisco”.
Superb flower harmony pop psych in Beach Boys style.
Written, Produced, Arranged by John Carter, Ken Lewis.

Neil Landon - lead vocals
Pete Nelson - lead vocals
