This was an amazing experience for me!

When these guys hit the scene, they hit it rather big in 1968, playing their third ever gig in front of a full house at Toronto’s Massey Hall, opening for The Fugs. That winter they moved to London, England where they were critically aclaimed. They signed to Liberty Records and recorded this, their infamous Stink album before returning home to Canada and breaking up. But this album was huge in Canada, forcing them to reform again as Mainline after several months home.

We first found mention of Pete Brady and the Playboys in 1957, an act that was working in Toronto, and had just completed their sixth engagement at the Bermuda Tavern on Yonge Street. The group also had a comedic wardrobe, so it appears they were quite versatile entertainers. In 1956, they completed a successful tour of Goose Bay, Labrador, where they entertained the American troops.

What goes around comes around! In the late ‘90s we had the Mike Harris revolution which pushed democracy to its limits. Then 20 years of Liberal wilderness scandals and a return to corruption with Doug Ford. While the lyrics of this song articulate the Toronto mega-city scandal of the ‘90s, you can just slip any Ford mishap in and voila! You’re totally up to date. This came off a No Megacity compilation. Look who produced it!

Despite Holly's numerous contributions to rock 'n' roll, a 1957 interview with Vancouver disc jockey Red Robinson suggests that the singer questioned the longevity of the genre. When asked whether rock 'n' roll music would still be around after six or seven months, Holly replied, "I rather doubt it."
Though his professional career spanned just two short years, Holly's recorded material influenced Bob Dylan, who, at age 17, saw Holly perform on his final tour. The Rolling Stones had their first Top 10 single in 1964 with a cover of Holly's "Not Fade Away." The Beatles chose their name as a kind of homage to The Crickets, and Paul McCartney has since purchased Holly's publishing rights.

Pete Brown became part of the poetry scene in Liverpool during the mid-1960s. He became a significant advocate of British Beat Poetry. The First Real Poetry Band was formed by Brown with John McLaughlin. That’s how Brown was brought to the attention of Cream who were looking for original lyrics. Originally, he was seen as a writing partner for Ginger Baker, but the group quickly discovered that he worked better with Jack Bruce. Together, Brown and Bruce wrote many of Cream's songs, including the hits "I Feel Free", "White Room" and "SWLABR"; Brown also wrote the lyrics to Cream’s biggest hit, "Sunshine of Your Love"

There were a group of poets running around Liverpool that got together with some musicians and the result was this band. Poetry was back in vogue, words mattered again and much like the beat poets of New York and San Francisco, they created quite a scene for a couple of years. No song on this, their second album, is indicative of what the band is like. They can do jazz, trad folk songs or ones like this.

Produced by Mike Vernon & John Mayall, 1969
Recorded at Decca Studios, London, April 19, 1967
In October 1965, before joining Peter Bardens' group, Green had the opportunity to fill in for Eric Clapton in John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers for four gigs. Soon afterwards, when Clapton left the Bluesbreakers, Green became a full-time member of Mayall's band from July 1966.
Mike Vernon, a producer at Decca Records recalls Green's début with the Bluesbreakers:.
“As the band walked in the studio I noticed an amplifier which I never saw before, so I said to John Mayall, "Where's Eric Clapton?" Mayall answered, "He's not with us anymore, he left us a few weeks ago." I was in a state of shock but Mayall said, "Don't worry, we got someone better." I said, "Wait a minute, hang on a second, this is ridiculous. You've got someone better Than Eric Clapton?" John said, "He might not be better now, but you wait, in a couple of years he's going to be the best." Then he introduced me to Peter Green.”
This is one of the earliest recordings of what would be the foundation of Fleetwood Mac. Peter, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood were all members of John Mayall’s Blue Breakers in the Spring of 1967. This was recorded just prior to Green and Fleetwood going out on their own (John McVie decided to stay with Mayall – he would join the band in September) with bass player Bob Brunning and slide guitarist Jeremy Spencer. A third guitarist, 17 year old Danny Kirwin, would join in early 1968.

The Cobalt Ontario fire of 1977 was started by cigarettes butts behind a general store, thought to be the fault of two guys working that Victoria Day on construction. The fire engulfed the town, burning down the main drag. This record came out that same year.
Esa of Kelowna BC, Jon of Newmarket Ont, were born in Lapland, Finland, and emigrated to Canada with their family in 1956. They chose to settle in the hard rock mining town of Kirkland Lake, Ontario.

It was early 2010 that Vancouver based musicians John Sponarski and Harold Donnelly, geeking out over a new guitar pedal, wrote their first song together. “We didn’t think much of it at the time,” recalls Sponarski, “but after a while, it seemed neither of us could get it out of our heads.” The two simply couldn’t ignore the potential of their musical union despite playing in different bands at the time.
What started as a single song captured on a handheld recorder quickly grew to a pool of over 20 that they wanted to record. Setting up shop in a basement, they got together with a few friends from the local scene and released their self-titled album in 2011.
“We didn’t originally intend on doing much with it,” Sponarski says, so you can imagine the band’s surprise when, a line of people wrapped around the block for their album release party.

Cherry Beach Express is a song about the notorious 52 Division of the Toronto Police force. They have long been believed to routinely take prisoners and suspects to a deserted, industrial waste land called Cherry Beach and beat the crap out of them. There was at least one major law suit where a Cherry Beach Express victim was awarded a six figure settlement against the Toronto goons who took him on the Cherry Beach Express.
