Doc Lehman’s Bangagong! music blog has a poster for a “Festival of Bands” in Columbus, Ohio that took place in 1967 — 34 bands over the course of 2 evenings, admission just $1:
Is this the same Vox as in Vox Guitar-Organ and Vox Phantom guitars?
Interesting to note that the first band at the top of each list would record a memorable 45 for Counterpart Records, either that same year – The Fifth Order’s “A Thousand Devils” – or the next one – The Gears, with their horns-heavy psychedelic classic, “Come Back to Me” (produced by Ray Allen):
“Come Back to Me” The Gears 1968
The Gears would record one more 45 that same year – “Feel Right” – for Columbus label, Hillside, and then … nothing more?
Jubilation! This is story #10 in Zero to 180’s Counterpart Records History Series.
