The Freeborne
Inside People
Peak Impressions
Monitor Records
1968
The Freeborne was organized from the remnants of two local frat rock groups, the Indigos and the Missing Links. The two groups performed covers of Top 40 radio hits, but key players sought to move on from both bands in hopes of writing original material.The album that resulted was titled Peak Impressions. They recorded three of their debut album's songs at ESP studios, and the rest at CBS studios, in New York City. Despite the Freeborne's age range—between ages 17 and 19—the group featured three capable multi-instrumentalists, who played a wide variety of orchestral instruments including piano, harpsichord, cello, trumpet, flute, and recorder.
Max Frost and the Troopers
Children of the Night
Riot On Sunset Strip OST
Sidewalk Records
1967
Max Frost and the Troopers were a fictional rock music group created for the exploitation film Wild in the Streets, released in 1968. The film featured Christopher Jones as the highly influential singer Max Frost. The songs performed by Frost and his band, a group that was never formally named in the film, were credited to Max Frost and the Troopers in the subsequent singles and album. The band name "Troopers" is based on the term "troops", the designation Frost used in the film to refer to his friends and followers.
A studio group (or possibly The 13th Power) appeared on the soundtrack album for the film, along with incidental music penned by Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann and composed by Les Baxter; however, the songs were not originally credited to Max Frost and the Troopers, but rather to The 13th Power.

The Misunderstood are responsible for two of the best and most influental singles of the great US 1967 psychedelic season, I Can Take You To The Sun and Children Of The Sun, and hold a steady place as a cult group among acid rockers. In 1981 three original members, coming from different roads, decided to reform the band and recorded a 6 track demo of revisited versions of some of their best work, adding raga and hard rock influences as a newer background.

We Are the Moles Pt. 1
We Are the Moles Pt. 1
Parlophone
1968
In 1968, Simon Dupree and the Big Sound released a single under the name "The Moles." This was done secretively by putting the tape into a subway locker in London and sending the key to "a major English music publication with a letter stating that the tape should be released on the Parlophone label" The tape contained the songs:
We Are the Moles (Part 1)
We Are the Moles (Part 2)
The identity of the band was not disclosed, and there was speculation that it might be The Beatles. Eventually the secret was revealed.
Some additional details:
The single was produced by George Martin.
The vocals were thought by listeners to have been sung by Ringo Starr.

The Hallmarks own the perhaps more recognized version...or perhaps not. This one has a slightly harder delivery, otherwise they are very hard to distinguish!
Andwella's Dream, Andwella
High On a Mountain
Love and Poetry
CBS
1969
The cover for this is delightful and very nude, lol. Love and Poetry was composed entirely by band member Dave Lewis. It captures the true original sounds of Irish psychedelic rock. Relatively unknown, this album has achieved certain cult status after 40 years and is eagerly sought after by collectors of the genre.

Great Lakes Gospel: Detroit
The Numero Group
2026
Over the decades, Numero has excavated a metric ton of recordings from the depths of Detroit. From all manner of mini Motowns we've uncovered soul, R&B, funk, disco, boogie, and by nature of proximity—gospel. Previous examinations of the Revival and Big Mack labels turned up more than a few new apocryphal hymns, and Great Lakes Gospel Vol. 2 compiles a dozen curious church groups devotionally reaching towards the genre's frayed edge. Get lost in ecstatic choir funk, pulpit rappin', direct-injection guitar solos, and the holy spirit, should it move you. Look around the room. You could start a church with this thing.

This version by Stranglers JJ Burnel on vocals is a stripped down, punk rock and surprisingly tender version. I fucking love this. IMHO this is the ONLY way to cover this song.
