And Now for The Particulars:
Side One – Tomorrow’s Future
1. The Beatles: Tomorrow Never Knows
(Lennon & McCartney)
Revolver: Capitol Records of Canada T2576
Liverpoool
John Lennon: vocals, Hammond organ, Mellotron, tape loops
Paul McCartney: bass guitar, tape loops
George Harrison: sitar, tambura, lead guitar, tape loops
Ringo Starr: drums, tambourine, tape loops
George Martin: tack piano
Produced by George Martin, 1966
Recorded by Geoff Emerick at EMI Studios, London 6, 7 and 22 April
1966
Lennon first played the song to Brian Epstein, George Martin and the other
Beatles at Epstein's house at 24 Chapel Street, Belgravia, London. It was
the first song they recorded for the Revolver album but was used to finish
off side B. The song was very futuristic; it was the first time The Beatles
recorded a number that they couldn’t possibly play in concert. It was recorded
in April, ’66 just prior to the band’s last North American tour. In fact,
The Beatles were on tour when it was released in August.
2. Jack Hennig & The Breaking Point Group: Maybe Tomorrow
(Jack Hennig)
45 single bw Busy People: Cupid Records CR-2
Edmonton AB
Jack Henning: lead vocal
Mary Saxton: bg vocal
Produced 1967
Jack Hennig b. August 25, 1946 Edmonton, AB
Jack Hennig was one of the more prominent country singers living
in Edmonton in the 1970s. However, unknown to almost everyone, he cut two
singles with ‘The Breaking Point Group’ in the psychedelic craze of the 1960s.
The single ‘Busy People b/w Maybe Tomorrow’ is the second and last recording
he did with the Breaking Point Group and is an excellent foray into the psychedelic
pop.
At age 16 Jack won an Alberta talent search contest singing his own song,
"High School Queen". From there he launched his music career in the late
1960's performing pschyedelic rock, but by the early 1970's had transformed
himself into a country and western singer. He also performed with Alberta-based
rock groups The Sons Of Adam and The Nomads.
3. Cherri: Maybe Tomorrow
(Cherri)
Unreleased album
Richmond Hill ON
Barry Clattenburg: Lead Guitar
Edgar Robichaud: Drums
Gordon Bone: Keys
Harry Bryan: Vocal
Joseph Bryan: Vocal
Tom Melanson: Bass Guitar
John McMillan: Rythm Guitar
Produced 1970
Mastered (for this program): Steve Fruitman
Harry Bryan and I have been acquainted since the 1990s when he was
still living in Guelph, Ontario. After retiring from The Co-Operators Insurance
Co, he moved to Newfoundland and found his place in Ferryland, once the
stompin’ grounds of singer/songwriter Ron Hynes. Several years ago, he decided
to start up an internet radio station he called Southern Shore Sounds. Last
time we met, in St. John’s, he handed me a bunch of amazing Canadian rock
albums from 1970, including a CD of Cherri’s full-length album which was
never released. Recorded in 1970 by this hot Toronto based band, Harry and
his brother Joseph were the two co-lead singers. This was at a time with
stove-pipe trousers and mullets were the thing.
4. Roy Orbison: Where Is Tomorrow
(Orbison / Dees)
45 single bw Twinkle Toes: London Records (UK) HLU-10034
Vernon TX
Roy Orbison: guitar, vocal
Produced by Wesley Rose, Jim Vienneau, 1966
Recorded by by Val Valentin
Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 Vernon TX: December 6, 1988 Hendersonville,
TN)
The B Side of hit song Twinkle Toes taken off of his 1966 album
The Classic Roy Orbison. It would be Orbison's last US top-forty single during
his lifetime. It was one of hundreds of songs recorded by recording engineer,
Val Valentin who had a six decade long career. He recorded some early Mothers
of Invention as well as recordings of The Velvet Underground, Count Bassie,
Eric Burdon, Buddy Rich, Colman Hawkins, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Gene Krupa and
tons of others. He was one of the best!
5. McDonald & Giles: Tomorrow’s People / The Children
of Today
(Michael Giles)
McDonald & Giles: Cotillion Records SD 9042
London UK
Ian McDonald: guitar, piano, organ, saxes, flute, clarinet,
zither, vocals
Michael Giles: drums, percussion, vocals
Peter Giles: bass
Produced by Ian McDonald and Michael Giles for EG Records, 1971
Recorded Island Studios, May June 1970
Michael & Peter Giles were the original rhythm section
for King Crimson. In fact, they were the pre-Crimson members of ‘Giles, Giles
and Fripp’. It was in 1968 that the Giles brothers were introduced to Robert
Fripp and practiced for an entire year without ever playing a gig. In April
’68 they went into the studio and recorded their only real album (The Cheerful
Insanity of…) and a couple of singles that went nowhere. By the fall of that
year, they invited multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald in to help round off
their sound, and even had Judy Dyble provide some vocals. They recorded a
bunch of songs at their rented London residence that eventually got released
as The Brandesbury Road Tapes in 2009. Then they broke up to form King Crimson
a few months later.
Ian McDonald became an original member of the fledgling King Crimson along
with Fripp and Michael Giles but his brother Peter opted out. He was replaced
by Greg Lake. Leaving King Crimson after a couple of albums, McDonald &
the Giles brothers produced this one adventuresome album just titled
McDonald and Giles. Michael Giles' drum solo in "Tomorrow's People – The Children
of Today" has been sampled by a number of rap and hip-hop artists, most notably
the Beastie Boys.
6. Smyle: Will I Get Back Home Tomorrow
(Ron Demmans)
Smyle: Columbia Records ES-90017
Burlington ON
Ron Demmans (lead vocals, guitar)
Ray Durritt (lead guitar)
Peter Rihbany (bass)
Tim Regan (drums, percussion)
Produced by John Williams, 1970
Recorded by Terry Brown at Toronto Sound Studio
One of the albums Harry Bryan gave me (and not to be confused with
the Dutch glamrock band of the same name and spelling). They got together
in 1967 and lasted only a couple of years, released one album and several
singles. ‘Will I Get Back Home Tomorrow’ was the B side of their only real
hit, Glory, Glory. Production of the album was all over the place; some songs
have horns like Lighthouse, others sound like bubble gum crap and then there
are a few hard rock pieces, like this one. Lead vocalist, Ron Demmans, eventually
relocated to Nashville and turned his attention to songwriting and production
work.
7. Fearing & White: Tomorrow Takes A Long Time
(Stephen Fearing / Andy White)
Tea & Confidences: LP Version: limited edition of 3 copies
in the whole wide world
(From the album Tea & Confidences: Lowden Proud Records LOWD20141)
Victoria BC / Melbourne, Aust
Stephen Fearing: vocals, guitars
Andy White: vocals, guitars, bass, mandolin
Gary Craig: drums
Produced by Stephen Fearing & Andy White, 2014
Recorded by Scott Merritt at The Cottage, Guelph ON
Mixed and Mastered by John Whynot at The Palm Door, Los Angeles
Vinyl manufactured at DAS Record Automat152 Johnston St., Fitzroy, Australia
I love the music of Stephen Fearing and Andy White and together
they are basically irresistible. Unfortunately, they have only collaborated
on making two excellent CDs; I wish they did more. I’ve known Stephen since
the 1990s and he’s appeared as a guest on some of my programs. When he made
me an offer, in 2014, I simply couldn’t refuse:
“Steve, if I gave you a vinyl copy of the record, could we be on your show?”
Andy White, who lives in Australia, went to DAS Recording Automat in Fitzroy,
Australia and had most of the songs from the CD transferred to vinyl, made
a handful of copies (one for Stephen) and gave one to me. Unmastered.
8. Bad Tractor: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
(Ramones)
Blessington: Meyers Creek Records MLRLP 0517
Belleville ON
Tim Hadley: guitar, lead vocal
Janet Mercier: vocals
Ian McKendry: electric guitar
Mike Budding: bass
Steve Fruitman: drums
Produced by Nicolas Tjelios, 2018
Recorded at Big Red Button Studio, Belleville ON by Nicolas
Tjelios
Mastered by Phillip Shaw Bova at Bova Lab Studio, Ottawa ON
This is a great Ramones’ song but I never liked the way it was produced;
I found it was a little too tame. We used to play it in the Bad Tractor
band and I like our recording of it better, so…here’s Belleville’s best
un-kept secret covering the song.
9. Prodigy: Scared of the Future
(Kevin Chorlerton)
Saskatchewan Seeds: CHAB 800
Moose Jaw, SK
Randy Reibling: bass, guitar, syknth, vocal
Kevin Chorlerton: electric guitar, 12 string, vocals
Blair Polishuk: drums, vocals
Produced by Prodigy, 1981
Recorded by Gerry Galla at Studio West
Don’t bother trying to look this Saskatchewan band up because you’ll
just get all the other Prodigys but not this one. I got this off Saskatchewan
Seeds, a compilation album featuring three bands from that province, including
Tornado Warning and Randy Cloak And Dagger. On Discogs, Prodigy is listed
under Prodigy (13) so, very difficult to capture any information about this
band.
10. Tranquility Base: The Future And The Past
(Tim Hallman)
45 single: AMD 3
Dundas ON
Ian Thomas: vocals
Oliver McLeod: vocals
Nora Hutchinson: vocals
Lucien Beaudoin: trombone
Adrian Filius: trumpet
Kirk Elliot: guitar, violin
Steve Hogg: bass
John Helmers: cello
Mike Oberle: drums
Tim Hallman: piano, tambourine
Produced by Andrew Marshall, 1973
Recorded by Brian Ablett at Studio 3, Lanark ON
Sometimes, artists do commercial work where they’re hired to do a
song an probably hope that no-one they know buys it. That seems to be the
case with Tranquility Base, a Dundas / Hamilton band featuring Ian Thomas
before he went solo. The band actually did the vocals, leaving the instrumentation
to Tim Hallman, who wrote and arranged the music. The song was The official
Kingston Tercentennary Song! From 1973. It features Kirk Elliot on guitar
and fiddle and Steve Hogg on the bass.
11. Canned Heat: Future Blues

Samuel Larry Taylor: bass
Adolfo De La Parra: drums

Bob Hite: vocals
Produced by Skip Taylor & Canned Heat, 1970
Recorded by Tommy Oliver at International Sound Studio
Only album they recorded without Henry Vestine. He had hepititis and
was replaced for this recording by the great Harvey Mandel. It was the last
album recorded while the all the other original members were still alive.
Guitarist Alan Christie Wilson died a few months later, on September 3, 1970.
Not much of a future!

Montreal QC
Leonard Cohen: vocal
Steve Meador: drums
Bob Metzger: guitar
Lenny Castro: tambourine
David Campbell: conductor
Produced by Leonard Cohen, 1992
Mastered By Bernie Grundman
Who better to sing about the future than the forward looking poet
of our time, Leonard? And who better to sing about living in that future
than another poet of our time, John Prine? And I know that what Prine is
trying to tell us must be true since he claims to have read it in the papers,
fifteen years ago!
13. John Prine: Living In the Future

Recorded and Mixed at Springfield Sound, Springfield ON by

Grit is mainly known for his stringed instruments these days, because
they are some of the best. But he started out as a folkie, playing with The
Friends of the Fiddlers’ Green. He was also a good friend of Stan Rogers who
decided to put his own music out on his own label, Fogerty’s Cove. Other than
his own albums, the label also released a few other lps including this one
by Grit Laskin. Grit recorded two solo LPs and Photographers came from the
first one. Notice that it was produced by Paul Mills (aka Curly Boy Stubbs)
who went on to form the Borealis Records label along with Grit, Ken Whiteley
and Bill Garrett. Grit is also an author.

Produced by Greg Panny, Ben Mink & kd lang, 1989
Recorded by Joe Seta and Greg Penny at Vancouver Studios,
Vancouver BC
Kathryn Dawn Lang b. November 2, 1961 (age 59) Edmonton, Alberta
She burst onto the scene in the early 1980s like nobody’s business!
She was the ridiculous, the sublime, the raw country punk powerhouse that
took the country music world by storm. When she continued doing her own thing,
like coming out as a vegetarian and condemning the slaughter of animals or
announcing that she was gay, the country crowd turned her back one her but
she still succeeded in spite of them all.
4. Koobas: Royston Rose

Koobas: Columbia Records EMI SCX 6271

Recorded by George Emerick at Abby Road Studios, London 1968
Released January 1969
A Liverpool band who were at the forefront of the Mercy beat
along with contemporaries The Beatles, Searchers, Swinging Blue Jeans, Gerry
& The Pacemakers, Billy J Kramer etc. After doing a stint in Hamburg,
the band returned to the UK in 1964 and were signed to a management contract
with Brian Epstein. They were supposed to appear in the 1965 Gerry & The
Pacemakers film “Ferry Cross the Mersey” as the losers in a battle of the
bands contest, but the footage was cut from the film's final release. They
kept at it although success seemed to elude them. After opening for Jimi
Hendrix and The Who on European tours. In the latter ‘60s, they changed from
R&B to a psychedelic sound but still found little to jump for joy for.
They broke up in 1968, shortly before the release of their only album. Drummer
Tony O’Reilly then went to play with Yes for a short time, replacing Bill
Bruford.
5. Ray Charles: Drown In My Own Tears
(Henry Glover)
45 single bw Mary Ann: Atlantic 1085
Greenville FLA
Ray Charles: vocal, piano
Produced 1956
Ray Charles Robinson b. September 23, 1930 Albany, GA / d. June 10, 2004
(73) Beverly Hills, CA
I just watched the biopic about Charles on Netflix, which I
highly recommend, and so this song fits the bill today, perfectly. He grew
up at a time when Nat King Cole was the undisputed king of Afro-American music
and like so many other young kids of his time, imitated Cole’s delivery. When
he found his own voice and grew comfortable with it, he found that he could
do so much more, blending the sounds of gospel music with his rhythm and
blues, and even country and western songs.

Wilson Pickett (b. Prattville, Alabama March 18, 1941: d. January 19, 2006
Reston, Virginia.
Like so many other black pop music stars, Wilson Pickett, like Ray Charles,
grew up with gospel music and stayed that way until he heard the music of
Little Richard. He joined a few groups and found most success with The Falcons
but it wasn’t until he decided to go solo, around 1960, and signed with
Atlantic Records. Success wouldn’t reach him until 1965 when ‘In The Midnight
Hour’ soared up the national charts. He followed that up with 634-5789,
Land of A Thousand Dances, Mustang Sally, Funky Broadway among the dozens
of singles that charted for him between 1965 and 1988. Truly one of the
greatest proponents of the Memphis sound of Soul.
Pickett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. Pickett
died of a heart attack in 2006.

turned in on myself," she said.

Produced by Mickey Most, 1968
Donovan Phillips Leitch b. Glasgow, Scotland10 May 1946 (74)
When we think back to the sixties to remember the most popular artists
of the day, Donovan’s name doesn’t usually turn up. But he was a super-star
in the ‘60s! Originally dubbed ‘Britain’s Answer to Bob Dylan’, he went electric
then psychedelic just before The Beatles did. He used sitars, flutes, heavy
rock and folk to deliver the goods with several massive hit songs like Catch
The Wind, Buffy Ste. Marie’s ‘Universal Soldier’, Sunshine Superman, Mellow
Yellow, Epistle to Dippy, Jennifer Juniper and Hurdy Gurdy Man to name just
a few. Because of a label dispute in England, several of his albums went
unreleased, including one recorded before The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper that would
have blown minds. He was one of the pilgrims who traveled to the ashram of
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India. Others on that trip included four guys posing
as The Beatles, Mike Love of the Beachboys and Mia Farrow. That’s how popular
Donovan was.
Different sources point to John Bonham playing drums & Jimmy Page on
guitar on Hurdy Gurdy Man but it’s never been confirmed. The four-string
tambura that Donovan plays on the track had been given to him in India by
George Harrison, who also helped write the lyrics.
