Love Sculpture - Forms and Feelings (1969)

Love Sculpture - Forms and Feelings

Another favorite of mine, Love Sculpture. I have to say Dave Edmunds is a very underrated guitar player. You'll agree with me once you listen to their classic Farandole "cover". Found this gem of a band through their song "In The Land Of The Few". Love it ever since. Enjoy!

Band information:

Love Sculpture was a British blues-rock band of the late 1960s, led by Dave Edmunds, plus bassist John Williams (born John David Williams, 19 January 1946, in Cardiff, Wales) and drummer Rob ‘Congo’ Jones (born Robert Jones, 13 August 1946, in Barry, South Wales).
They formed in Cardiff in 1966, and disbanded in 1970, although Edmunds went on to enjoy solo success in the 1970s. They are best known for their 1968 novelty hit, a cover version of the classical piece “Sabre Dance”, by Aram Khachaturian. Other songs included: “Land of the Few”, “Summertime” and “You Can’t Catch Me”.

Love Sculpture was notable primarily because of Edmunds’ subsequent success. The band itself was essentially a showpiece for Edmunds’ considerable technical ability on the guitar. Love Sculpture mostly performed blues standards, slightly revved-up, but still largely reverent to the originals.
Love Sculpture split up after recording two albums. Edmunds went on to number one hit success with “I Hear You Knocking”, and collaborated heavily with ex-Brinsley Schwarz bassist Nick Lowe, eventually forming the band Rockpile with him.

Band information:

The Lollipop Shoppe were a 1960s psychedelic garage rock band.  They were originally known as The Weeds and featured Fred Cole, now of Dead Moon. After The Weeds signed to UNI Records (a now-defunct subsidiary of MCA), their new manager, "Lord" Tim Hudson, insisted they change their name to The Lollipop Shoppe to fit in with the current trend of bubblegum music. The band's actual recordings, including the 1968 LP Just Colour, are hardly bubblegum, but instead a mix of garage rock and psychedelia. The album and its single, "You Must Be a Witch," are regarded as period classics and still prized by collectors, though neither made the charts. The band opened for stars such as Janis Joplin and The Doors, and appeared in the biker movie Angels from Hell. The album has been bootlegged; the Music Maniac label has announced a reissue but it has not appeared. The Lollipop Shoppe released one more single, "Someone I Knew" b/w "Through My Window", before breaking up in 1969. They reunited as The Weeds for a 1971 single.

Band information:

Lincoln Street Exit’s sole album is one of those efforts that’s generated considerable attention throughout the collecting community over the years.

Formed in 1964, the original line up consisted of Paul Chapman, drummer Lee Herres, singer/guitarist Michael Martin and bassist Mac Suazo. A rarity in that it was one of the few mid-1960s native American rock bands (all four members were New Mexico Sioux) to actively tour and record, the group struggled for six years with little recognition; managing to release three instantly obscure singles during that timeframe.

By the time the band was signed to the Detroit-based Mainstream label, Chapman had died replaced by guitarist R.C. Gariss. Teamed with producer Brad Shad 1970’s “Drive It!” served to showcase material from Martin and non-member Tom Bee.
