Recorded 3 singles as The Blue Echoes 1964 & 1 LP as Canadian Beadles 1965
Also recorded 2 singles under the name Vic, Paul and BruceA Merseybeat-influenced band, as hinted by their name, whose records are now very sought-after and collectable. They started out in early 1963 as The Blue Echoes and came from Sarnia, Ontario, but also spent some time in California.
Canadian Beadles from Sarnia (Ontario) included in its membership three guys named Vic Blunt (Ralph Miller, guitar, played in The Blue Echoes, Mojo Men, The Frantiks, Center Stage), Paul Case (drums) and Bruce Pollard (drums, vocals, previously played in The Stacatos, later - in The Soul Survivors).
Recorded for the "Tide" label in the US, in which Ralph Miller sent a tape to with recordings of group as The Blue Echoes, in 1963, playing in the style of "merseybeat". The head of Tide, Ruth Christy, was impressed and invited them to come to the US, which they did. It was there, at the beginning of 1965 before a show in the Los Angeles "Coliseum" (which was held under the name "KFWB's Beatle Alley") that they decided to call themselves The Canadian Beadles. As a trio they enjoyed great success in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas since Vic, Paul & Bruce (the name they began using at the end of 1965) could sing just like The Beatles.
