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 two evenings, admission just $1:
Same Vox as in Vox Guitar-Organ & 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 (of Purple Reign fame) and then … nothing more?
Both 45s written by Bob Alwood & Joe Daniels
